October aks Deathtober is almost over & Halloween's coming up fast. Iโ€™ve read another 2 suitably scary books since the my last post. Any other horror fans out there? What Halloweeny books have you read this year?

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so letโ€™s play a little game I like to call โ€œNazi skull or not a Nazi skullโ€

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

In 2023, Shelton spoke to the Little Miami School District education board about Alice Osemanโ€™s graphic novel Heartstopper, calling it a health risk. โ€œI got sick from reading that stuff. I donโ€™t think kids should ever question their sexuality, I donโ€™t think kids should ever explore their sexuality.โ€

I have been to the White House. Truly the most special place I have been. The Current Occupant of the White House is destroying it so that he can build a ballroom that nobody wanted. He is destroying the people's house. For those who voted for him, is this what you thought you were voting for?

I find it absolutely maddening that theyโ€™re allowed to completely switch their reality at will and no one will ever question them on it, yet if there was one riot in one tiny town anywhere in America they wouldโ€™ve declared martial law
The perfect metaphor for this regime.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because itโ€™s even worse today.
Wow. This is some weird shit.

In a way, it's good because if Drumpf surrounded himself with actually competent people, we would be in even more trouble. Though, yeah, we're in deep trouble already even with the gaggle of clowns he's got doing his bidding.

Big Red Books is a great indie bookstore on Main Street in Nyack, NY.
It's the perfect metaphor for what he's doing to the country. My heart hurts that so much of history is being dismantled by this conscienceless megalomaniac on top of democracy itself. He's a monster.
Itโ€™s not his house. Itโ€™s your house. And heโ€™s destroying it.

No Kings. Nanuet, NY.

Weโ€™re almost as cool as Portland OR!
Itโ€™s painful enough to get a mammogram without adding this kind of pain on top of it! Hope it gets straightened out soon.
I donโ€™t know. Without him, I donโ€™t think the center can hold. OTOH, we canโ€™t depend on that happening, so itโ€™s true that we must not give in to fatalism, cynicism, and nihilism. See you at a no Kings protest tomorrow!
i thought Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the No Kings gatherings, made such an important profound point yesterday. He said, "Our enemy here is not Trump, our enemy is fatalism and nihilism and cynicism."
Once you give up your power, the authoritarian wins.
