I weep today for the lost promise of what might have been, and for the people that will be affected that have no idea of what’s coming.
I weep today but I will pick myself up and fight tomorrow. 🥷 #resist #resistance #demoracy #America #strike #generalstrike

“A systematic pattern has emerged: shakedowns of law firms, business corporations, and media companies for the enrichment of Trump, his family, and his political allies.”

Welcome to the Mafia Presidency

That’s a nice business you’ve got there.

Blew out my knee. There is a ginormous hulking spider that’s been webbing around the house. I walked right into a huge web. Did the flaying, twisting spider dance…I am now an invalid with my own walker. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Please send binge watching suggestions. I need a break from politics. #politics #spider #knee

WTF IS WRONG WITH TEXAS AND ABBOTT????

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · Aug 11

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people

Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Too bad that the GOP never read a word of project 2025… or did they? 🤔 #project2025

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · Jul 7

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

They will NOW come for the guns…

Myrtle Muddle @mommica.bsky.social · Jul 7

I had an interesting conversation with a Maga acquaintance in deep red Indiana this weekend. He had ordered 800 rounds of ammo off of Amazon. He got them, received a call from the ATF asking him what he was doing with all that ammo… I asked him if that had ever happened to him before and he said no…

Myrtle Muddle @mommica.bsky.social · Jul 7

My lifelong best friend, now a rabid MAGA, tried to convince me that white men were now the most discriminated against in America…. Funny, when my son goes out, I know he’s a good human that we have raised right. My daughter? I want her on full body armor and packing heat… #revolution #resist

If you are “afraid for your sons" based on 2% of reported rap3s being false, imagine how afraid we are for our daughters based on the other 98% .

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims

[From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims

The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”
