Trying to just be and know we’ll get through it together. Unitarian Universalist. Still believe love and empathy are among the highest virtues.

I’m sharing this here in case you, too, come across some idiot claiming people who use SNAP all drive fancy cars and are “stealing” from tax payers.

MASS WORLD PROTESTS THREAD:👇🧵

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

While 90% of media (owned by 6 billionaires) were focusing on getting teachers fired for calling Kirk a nazi… there were mass protests all over the world!

Did you hear about any of them?

I dug up some videos:👇🧵

Almost winning the war to the bottom. Soooo cloooose.
Book bans. Censoring honest history lessons. Republicans are the cancel culture mob they accuse liberals of being.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

It absolutely should be a much bigger story! Good grief!!
Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Strongmen can't control large amounts of people. They only condition them to believe they have fewer options.

Condition them against their own freedom.

Propaganda makes you complicit in your own imprisonment.

A participant in your own oppression.

The little things matter so much.
They always have. Don’t dim your shine just because some can’t stand the brightness.
Do not comply in advance.

Do not comply now.

Noncompliance looks different in different situations & in different people.

Some actions can seem terrifyingly huge, others are small daily things. Then there’s everything in between.

All of it matters.

All of it is clearly needed.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Jasmine Crockett: “The president literally said he would look at anyone who decided they were going to vote to release the Epstein Files as hostile. We don’t swear to an Orange King. Instead, we have sworn an oath to the Constitution.”

Received the news during a keynote address on this very subject.
The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.
MAGA voted for the Book of Revelations, and we’re getting it.

Amazing speak.
✨ Imara Jones delivered a Ware Lecture that laid bare how anti-trans politics fuel authoritarianism—and called us to live our values with courage.

💛 Thank you, Imara, for your truth and brilliance.

I tell my students: Budget math isn't about arithmetic. Budgets are statements of values, and behind every number is a choice about who and what we value.

So as you evaluate the Republican budget bill, ask yourself: Does it give voice to your values?

Tonight someone approached our group in the hotel lobby with “is this where the Twister party is?” And I’m just giving that opening line to you all for free.

Judges consider using a different security than the U.S. Marshals because they report to Pam Bondi and the threats are coming from the White House.

They worry that Trump could order the marshals to stand down in
retaliation for a decision that didn't go his way.

Aging is like going to very slow med school where each new class is a surprise and you get a 45 second lecture and a handout on each subject.
