Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone who wishes their Congressperson was Jasmine Crockett. 💙

Why Are You Still Defending Conservatives When All They Do Is Hurt Us? open.substack.com/pub/walterrh...

#Syllogism #Saturday: If most #Republicans enable Trump and Musk... And if Trump and Musk are #evil... Then most #Republicans are evil.

It's #Friday night, y'all. Let everyone know in the comments which B*TCH you wanna #smack. Don't hold back and get some sh-t off your chest!

Bigots be like totally out of their minds with hate and fear....

Cancel greedy #Nextflix just like I did!

People need to mind their business and stop being hateful. If you don't want to do or be something, then DON'T DO IT OR BE IT! Please don't go out of your way to block what others are doing harmlessly. And keep your religion out of others' lives unless you want to pay high taxes on your religion.

Have y'all seen this?! 😳 😱 😭 ❤️ 🧞 I'm crying! #DemiMoore in a custom-made #AlexanderMcQueen #halter top technicolor gown for the Gods, honey!

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

"Wrong again, idiot."

This is Gus. ❤️ * * * * They're not like Gus. They're not like Gus!

Current mood.

Now more than ever.

Perfectly captured.

This man is deeply evil and hateful. Even worse: EVERYONE in government who works with him or has the power to stop him, protest, resist, or make things difficult and doesn't resist him is just as evil because hideous hateful people are only as powerful as their enablers and handlers make them.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Excellent post

All of us: Super cool vampire with an awesome punch. All of them: Bigoted, hateful, psychopathic #MAGA-Trump b*stard in priest outfit.

Oh, I love that analogy! 😆

#RiseUp and show your #love #nonbinary people!

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Look at this side-by-side comparison video. Just want to be clear that it definitely WAS a Nazi salute. It's alarming when people charge bigotry against other infractions yet exempt this man when he committed such an obviously bigoted act.

*They* may be "exhausted," but I'm fired up and ready to resist pure depravity, hate, misinformation, and institutional violence. They always seem to be muted, middle-of-the-road, ineffectual and risk-averse! We want true, DEEP, lasting systemic change! www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

I don’t know who did this, but thank you 🤣

#NewProfilePic If you got it, flaunt it!

Enjoy the incomparable Luther Vandross (1951-2005) #singing this #jingle in a 1981 TV ad for Juicy Fruit gum. I loved his #vocals and would always try to spot them in the background on #songs and #jingles. 2025 mark's the 20th observance of his passing. #R&B #Blacksky #music #Musicsky

Mmm and Uhuh, my #bird roommates, chirp softly to the hum of the air fryer. Making #chicken wings for #chickensalad on a snow day. #birdsbsky

It's a #SnowDay here in Baltimore. Here's a video with covers of a slew of 21st century books on #Black and #African #queer thought. Share widely. #Blacksky #LGBT #LGBTQ #BlackQueer #BlackLGBT #Affirmation #Love #Acceptance

As a woman in my 60s who has followed her from the beginning of her career, DemiMoore's #GoldenGlobe acceptance speech truly moved me to tears. She spoke a truth that all of us who are blooming in our late age know all too well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SvW...

The marvelous #DemiMoore wore this astounding frock and won at the Golden Globes.

Meanwhile, in peak bourgeoisie aristocratic hell, a billion dollar ski company won't pay about 200 highly trained essential ski patrol workers top dollar--at least the equivalent of 65K a year--for doing sophisticated work that saves lives and organizes work on the slopes. The greed is bananas!

#NewsFlash: White Europeans DID NOT come to the Americas as "legal immigrants" before they made laws to protect and invite their own ethnic groups to migrate to the Americas. White Europeans came to the Americas ILLEGALLY as colonial, genocidal invaders, enslavers, and land/resource thieves. Period.
