Trying to find folks focused on resistance, resilience, and creating a better world in the face of complete and utter madness, greed, inequity, fascism, violence, and hypocrisy. Nature, politics, community, and some everyday life stuff too.

This guy. From my #nature #photography account.

Wow. Whaddaya know? After creating waves of iPhone and laptop panic buying, computers and phones are now exempt from tariffs. I wonder if Apple knew about this all along? HMMMMM.

This has been so clear from the start. And you know big tech is in on it too. BUY IPHONES AND MACBOOKS NOW BEFORE TARIFFS GO INTO EFFECT!!

Featuring this beauty on my new Flashes mature account which… someone on Bluesky needs to do a better job promoting that IG alternative!

Madness.

West Virginia Republicans just legalized sexual assault against children. This is the child predator enabling act. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-...

If you called your senators yesterday and told the “VOTE NO” on the Continuing Resolution *and* Cloture, CALL AGAIN TODAY. @schumer.senate.gov is full of it and gave us lip service. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM VOTING NO AND STOPPING THE GOP AND THIS BUDGET IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ACTION.

New Flashes (IG alternative) seems legit. Using new account to post nature stuff.

Started a nature account on BlueSky’s new Flashes (IG alternative).

Democrats are a fucking joke. Anyone hoping that they will lead a unified resistance needs to look elsewhere. #resist #fucktrump #fuckrepublicans #fuckdemocrats

How the media is enabling Trump to dismantle our democracy right before our eyes. TOYED with ignoring federal courts? He is ACTIVELY IGNORING court orders. BILLIONS of dollars of obligated USDA funding is still frozen in defiance of multiple court orders. The constitutional crisis done been here.

When will EVERYONE realize Trump doesn’t care about approval ratings or losing his base because he knows there won’t be free and fair midterm elections?

Totally sure these will be in no way redacted or doctored.

If the president defies the courts and Congress does not impeach him for it, the Constitution simply ceases to exist.

Trump had more Black voters than any Repub in the last 50 years.

They better fucking not.

It’s eugenics plain and simple. How many poor MAGA’s in red states will need to die before they realize they’re in a death cult?

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Republicans for much of 2024: "How DARE you call our candidate Mr Trump a fascist?" *President* Trump in 2025:

Ok deep staters working in biolabs: AIDS, but for old white Republicans. Annnnnd… GO!

The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm former Democratic Representative and current right-wing personality Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

The problem is he did not surrender. Programs and funds are still frozen. The problem is he is ignoring the courts telling him he couldn’t do what he is still doing. The problem is the press is not widely reporting that this is STILL HAPPENING DESPITE COURT ORDERS.

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

The fact that this one clip is making the rounds over and over instead of HUNDREDS of interviews like this flooding the web is very disturbing. Every single thinking person given a platform should be talking about the dictatorial power grabs that are being made RIGHT NOW under our noses.

“What Antisemitism? The ADL Prostrated to Musk and Trump” To defend Israel, writes ⁦‪David Klion‬⁩ from Zeteo, Jonathan Greenblatt’s Anti-Defamation League is willing to turn a blind eye to the growth of fascism on the right.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

"We are in a massive massive humanitarian crisis which Trump has inflicted, a man-made crisis... he said 'no more aid' overnight... it should be one of the biggest stories in America... people are going to die because of what Trump, Musk & Rubio have been doing." Me on MSNBC today with Ali Velshi:

Why is a single democrat voting anything but NO on Trump cabinet picks? This whole “we can work across the aisle” narrative needs to stop. The Dems are clueless and hopeless.

The transition approval is more proof that the right-wing media has won. Disinforming is the new informing. And it’s spreading to more and more mainstream outlets.

No president in history—not even Trump in his first term—ever logged so many illegal actions in so short a time.

And again w how the media is enabling the first American dictator.

That this is not being widely reported on as THE HEADLINE STORY and framed as a major constitutional crisis and blatant attempt by Trump to crown himself as king or dictator makes media outlets a culpable part of this power grab. Shameful.

It’s not a sexy headline, so media outlets gloss over it or don’t cover it at all. This is probably how it will go - slowly chipping away at laws and institutions, coupled with a few blatant power grabs sanctioned by Supreme Court stooges.

"Forget #Resistance. How Democrats Gave Trump Victory After Victory" For Zeteo, @premthakker.bsky.social on a currently feckless and self-destructive opposition party.

Will aggressively exposing Trump as a buck naked emperor work? How long can MAGA say, “no no I see some clothing there?” Cuz you know Trump will continue to blame Biden for everything even after he has the presidency. How long will MAGA minions allow him to do so?

The world outside is on fire but this inside helps a lot. #dogsofbsky #doglove #dogs #poodle #yorkiepoo #rescuedogs

I sadly need to remain on IG (for now) because work requires me to do so. But folks who post nonstop about divesting money from the war machine and implore people to find out where your dollars are going because of all the bad actors… still on IG? Personal accounts. Cuz why? #dontbeHypocrite #dumpIG

Hmmmm. It almost seems like the entire new administration is full of rich white guys who live to profit off of criminal acts and the suffering of others. HMMMMM.

We are on a highway to hell as a nation but I am trying to lean into my morbid curiosity about just how insane things are about to get.
