“If there is a Hegelian thesis > antithesis > synthesis process it is a push for more equality > a push back to restrain equality > a brief equilibrium/stasis before a new push.” This:

“Congress was required by law to install this plaque to honor the officers that defended the Capitol and those inside on Jan. 6. They have not done so, and they have not done so two years past the legal deadline." Read:

Ahahaha! “We lost him to the improv bug” 😭🤌🏻

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

“The president cares nothing for the military, for its history, or for the men and women who serve the United States. They are, like everything else around him, only raw material: They either feed his narcissism, or they are useless.” Read 👇🏻:

We crossed a line of no return a long time ago. This is unraveling in real time and we do not have the culture or preparation to stop this. The United States knows how to do international coups (I say that with my whole chest), but for it to happen here? “Not here, this is America.” Yes. Here.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Feeling really sick today and I’ve been sleeping all day. I feel overwhelmed and super off but this always makes me smile and cry and laugh. So vulnerable, so real. So fragile and strong and wonderful. “All comedy is derived from fear” is really a tattoo I need to get. Cookie cat for lifers. ✨

"It would have been unthinkable to the members of the 9th Congress that a bill enacted to prevent the establishment of a rival nation would be invoked to shut down a few thousand citizens peacefully protesting the arbitrary kidnapping of U.S. residents by heavily armed federal oprichniki."

“To clarify, the people who Trump thinks love this country, demonstrated by them loving him, are allowed to express that love by defacing a federal building they broke into and viciously assaulting police officers.” REALLY good morning read: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Watching Yo-Yo Ma and Mr. Rogers talk about music and emotions is one of the best things I could have seen on my FYP. Thank you, PBS. “You can imagine the swan…” ☕️✨🥹

“…we also found that video games were the only media type more likely to be remembered from a first-person rather than third-person perspective, similar to autobiographical memories…” A fascinating read for fellow nerds 🤓🎮 psyche.co/ideas/when-m...

In a world of chaotic wonder, I am kinda happy to have little indulgent moments such as this one because I have exactly zero self control when it comes to ice cream so these wee ones are ace. Kinda. See you when I see you, Bluesky. Goodnight! ✨✨✨

💿 “LP”

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Well well well. Will you look at that. 📞

Book that made me tragic LOL: Catch-22, Joseph Heller Book that made me cry in public: The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri Book that I still think about: A Fine Balance, Rohinton Mistry THE book: Pedro Páramo, Juan Rulfo A linguistic masterpiece: El Señor Presidente, Miguel Angel Asturias

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

Well well well… what have we here. Enrique Tarrio being called a traitor, which is exactly what he is. Also a grifter, but hey. (In this tiny little Bluesky space we don’t let go of Jan 6.)

Remember, reflect, celebrate and honor those who paid the ultimate price defending our freedoms. Come join us. “Unite for Veterans. Unite for America”. Blessings to you all.

I think I’ve seen a movie about this somewhere.

“Hitler made only one big mistake when he built his Atlantic Wall,” the paratroopers liked to say. “He forgot to put a roof on it.” An incredible book and a fantastic series. Nothing compares to the real thing. Forever grateful. 🤍 Now we must do our part.
