I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

One time we went for Indian food in NYC and they had live musicians. I requested a raga I had learned in college and they actually played it for us!!!

I grew up around kids whose families fled wars in SE Asia in the 70s/80s. A recent student of mine was named after Ronald Reagan.(His parents were Cambodian refugees like those kids in my generation)

Maybe JD needs to meet more ppl like that?

Or maybe he’s just an asshole?

Some years ago I heard some libertarian on a local AM station by accident saying “your free speech ends where my nose begins”

Exxon’s actions are directly impacting all of our noses and they should thus be forced to submit to disclosures and regulations

Free speech, my ass!

Got another one yesterday - from the Trump people. They addressed me by name and asked why I was made at him

Anyone have ideas on how they’re getting our info?

Curious to know how many other ppl have been getting uninvited solicitations for money/surveys from RW groups and candidates: e.g. Prager, Heritage, Winsome Earl-Sears, and now Erika Kirk/TPUSA

I have never given any of these orgs my money, not my contact info. What gives?

The most Republican town in CT has Democrats campaigning with giant message boards reminiscent of those used in the past by Rs. Only this time, they’re using local R taxation against them, asking voters to exercise common sense

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social - is this happening elsewhere?

Boris B @borisbrum.bsky.social · 4d

I disagree. If Shirley Chisholm and John Lewis could forgive George Wallace, I think we should find space for people who similarly see the error of their ways

Saving democracy requires a broad coalition of strange partners. The future of this nation is too important

Republicans that are just now coming to their senses and realizing the catastrophe you caused by voting for this, know you will forever be a pile of sh*t…… You are welcome nowhere.

Boris B @borisbrum.bsky.social · 4d

These guys are always the victims, in their telling. Even when they’re in charge. And ppl fall for it time and again. Case study: red states like TX with literally years of Republican rule, where they campaign against “those ppl ruining your lives”

I find it ironic that MAGA is recycling footage from 2020 to try and justify sending troops to PDX against protesters, given what will happen to food aid soon.

Remember the massive lines at food banks during COVID shutdowns? It’s like they’re trying to bring that back on purpose, out of cruelty

My wife was driving over bridge into NYC, our little girls in the back seat, hit something and blew a tire. Some stranger stopped & helped change the tire. But battery had died. He went to get a charger. It didn’t work so he went & got diff one. Spent many hours helping. Refused any money at all

Intersex rights are human rights!

On #IntersexAwarenessDay, we acknowledge that every person has the right to health, dignity, and freedom. When intersex people are denied those rights, all human rights are weakened. #IntersexAwarenessWeek

Cuz ppl are forking stupid. They believe the image crafted for him on a game show, and not the actual truth.

I mean, why should they believe their lying eyes? Right?

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

There must be something that can be done to stop this. Are we really that powerless to curb the abuses of this madman?

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

Yes - and notice especially the last sentence from the quote: “don’t need any more votes”

Mike and the rest of the Rs in Congress did their duty. No more votes needed because Donny and his pal Russ Vought will just handle it all, along with the rubber stamp committee formerly called SCOTUS
