Worst thing about the original post: That ghoul has participated in procreation
The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

Blood is on the hands of every f-cking coward lawmaker who voted for this.
The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

Brian Wilson. Damn. It wasn't exactly unexpected, but this just stings. His music was THE reason why I ever chose to pick up an instrument. Without it I would be in a very different place now--undoubtedly a lesser one. #loveandmercy

1. Tomorrow's my birthday and here's a gift you can get for me: Buy a small creator's work. Local band, indie writer, up-and-coming visual artist, that crafter down the street, or whomever. Your support matters to them, especially in this economic/social environment. And you deserve some joy, too.

Today seems to be the day everyone who does not know how to drive or the basic rules of driving is out en masse and putting the rest of us in danger. And I just realized that I've got to venture out again 😖

An organization as insidious as He Gets Us using a cover of Personal Jesus in its commercials is such a spectacular self own.

Is it just me, or is the meta exodus momentum from last month cooling down considerably? Just an observation.
Unfortunately that platform is the only of its kind for makers/creators, plus I think that FB is so deeply ingrained in our heads that we post there almost reflexively.

You say: they shutdown USAID.
You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.
