"Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin' We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drummin' Four dead in Ohio." Neil Young Remembering: Allison Krause, 19 Jeffrey Miller, 20 Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20 William Schroeder, 19 4 May 1970

One group is part of the working class, the other are part of the wealthy capitalist ruling class. There's a class war being waged on the working class, and it's wealthy people like katy pery who ensure that working class NASA scientists, like those ladies being fired, continue to be exploited.

Thanks so much to PleinAir Salon and juror Lori Putnam for awarding my painting "Best Nocturne" in the March Competition "Light in the Forest" #Watercolor - 24x18 inches @bsky.art

Read my statement on the Supreme Court's decision to selectively disenfranchise members of the military serving our country, military families, foreign service officers, missionaries, and other NC voters who faithfully followed the rules communicated to them in the 2024 election:

Nuns in Ladakh shave their heads. This is a common practice in Buddhism, where shaving the head represents letting go of attachments and focusing on the mind rather than physical appearance. It is not uncommon for Ladakhi girls in their early teens to run away from home to join a Buddhist nunnery.

Good morning Bluesky. "Stand! Don't you know that you are free? Well, at least in your mind if you want to be. Stand album released May 3, 1969 Sly & the Family Stone

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

“Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.” Powerful and much-needed appraisal from Will Stancil of the meaning of, and fallout from, this weekend’s takeover of the Treasury and USAID by Musk and his minions.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Donald Trump each announce their agreement to pause tariffs for a month. Sheinbaum beat Trump to alerting the public. You can see what Trump left out of his message.

Ooof! Mexico, Canada and Wall Street call Trump's Tariff bluff. NOW he wants to talk to Canada, delay tariffs on Mexico for a month and Wall Street is telling him real time his tariffs are "dumb". Ahh, the price of eggs, cars, avocados...

As he swore the oat of office, Trump did not place his hand on the Bible.

Once again, witness the way Black people who may object to serving at a base dedicated to someone who fought and killed to keep Black people enslaved doesn’t enter into the framework

Bringing Out The Artifacts-No use keeping them in storage. I’ve got to use them to clarify our history, positions on issues and to tell our story to younger generations. #ShowNTell. Power is the ability to define & implement. I won’t let someone else steal my power or take my joy!

Telling My Story. I’ve realized that in order to increase support for the Democratic Party, I need to weave my personal story with parts of the platform & our history on the issues. I’m organizing newspaper clips, posters and more to make our story “live!”

To all our comrades going thru a hard time, especially in the DMV. I know those “nasty” people are behaving like bullies! Just know that we are proud of your service to the American people! Hold your heads up & maintain your professionalism! Show them how it’s done! The whole world is watching!

First post on this thing feels as strange as my first Twitter post. Awkward. Yet hopeful.
