Barron’s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.

Just watched the Jane Goodall "Famous Last Words" on Netflix. She calls out this evil triad as well.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Leticia James. Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

Beautiful art. Alas, I cannot afford it.

Sadly, the "Real ID" bullshit is seen as the National ID. None of us truly believed it was about terrorism at the airports, did we?

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

It's possible that no major networks in OP's viewing area were covering it at the time of the posting. Or too few were to create a tipping point towards action.

Your critique feels disingenuous, and distracts from the push to raise awareness and call for action to help suffering people.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

@charlesdingusjr.bsky.social great ad!

I was at an Indigo Girls/Melissa Etheridge concert last night, and they dedicated a song to Matthew Shepard and spoke your same message. It was powerful, and I was so glad my 19-year old was with me. Led to a great conversation on the way home.

These could be Jimmy Carter's words. This is how he separated church and state in his daily life as a civil servant.

Lol. There is that. Depression and angst is more lyrically inspiring.

Friends during the 24hr TT blackout: "You really just deleted your account? Why?"

Me: "Because I can read the writing on the wall."

Friends: "Ugh. Stop being dramatic. Not everything is about politics."

Me: "This definitely is. Propaganda HQ coming up"

Feeling validated, but sad nonetheless.

That said, this video is spot on in its critique.

She's been down before, she rises up again. I get the frustration, but I think Taylor is in her IDGAF era.

Yet another instance of "if you're not terrified, you're not paying attention."

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

So great to see you here! I have admired your work for decades. Inspired me to be a green burial advocate (what a rabbit hole that has been!) May you be well, happy and peaceful today and always. Blessed be!

Not sure how I got on Ferretsky, but I'm not complaining

Jules Salinas @juliannws.bsky.social · 3d

Parable of the Sower. I always wanted to see it made into a movie...but not a documentary.
