Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes

“Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

“We will disrupt through witness, remembrance, and the courtship of the imagination. We will escort children past the darkest warrens of the forest. We will construct kites that stay aloft in the rain. We will champion what is beautiful, and so finally make our opponents irrelevant."

New YouGov poll say 8% of America participated in NO Kings. Media massively undercounts protests. Local media used an early Portland Police estimate for Portland of 40,000. Organizers of the downtown event said 65,000, and dozens of events were held elsewhere in the city and surrounding metro area.

Hideaway on a hidden cove, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 3, 2020, 7:26 PM.

#sunset #hiking #forest #lake

An evening in late spring. We are looking out through an opening in the forest along the shore of a small, secluded cove on a large lake. Through a break in the clouds we see a patch of cornflower blue sky. Below that, the setting sun is trying to burn through a thin, hazy cloud, tinting it a pale golden orange. The sky is mirrored on the still surface of the lake. There are two young trees growing a few inches apart to our left. A cluster of water grasses sprouting from the shallows just ahead are a lush dark green. Across the water the two peninsulas that form the cove are densely wooded.

For día de muertos 2: "Know Thyself".
You've heard that message from the source of whatever path you follow, very likely. 'This too shall pass'. Even if it's hot in your heart at the moment, or gnawing at your brain like a fiery little animal.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

My oldest son called me last night around 11 as he was walking to a Halloween party in Brooklyn. I said "What kind of party starts at 11:00?" to which he replied "A Good one."
ooooooo.

Edward Abbey : My loyalties will not be bound by national borders, or confined in time by one nation’s history,[..]I pledge my allegiance to the damned human race, and my everlasting love to the green hills of Earth, and my intimations of glory to the singing stars, to the very end of space and time

Crockett: You have a president who consistently is obsessing over two women of color that are members of the house, I don't know what black woman hurt him in his past, honey, but it is really taking him through it.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
