Peace, understanding, and compassion are possible. In 1951, the people of Seattle raised money to buy playgrounds for Hiroshima, Japan. It did not undo the atomic bombing, but it was one step forward. Some are still in use today. I wrote about it, an ad-free read.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Donald Trump is like the bad landlord who DIYs a kitchen install then claims it’s your fault when the house burns down. He’s burning the country down & he will blame anyone but himself for it bc he doesn’t care.

My bio sister, born and raised in Hyde Park, a neighborhood of #Boston, wears a #hijab. Today was told to “GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM” I knew it was going to start again. Just like #Trump1.0 and the #GulfWar

This happened on a mutual’s facebook page. The ignorant #MAGA is just looking at her married name. I know his whole family. My sister can easily go back to Hyde Park, some of his family can easily go back to JAIL.

The only reason ICE would be at schools is to take innocent children into custody in order to lure their parents. Family separation 2.0. 🚨 Los Angeles school police says it will not comply with ICE.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

“Save money by changing to our new online prescription app and ordering a 90 day supply” they said. Ok. Got quote & placed order. Order came & credit card was charged 3x as much as quoted & more expensive than last month’s 30 day supply. I placed the order last Tuesday! TY Repugnants. Already.

After a hard week of evil doing our beloved leader is taking a well earned rest from politicking. Time to chase the little white ball. We will deal with egg prices, Colombian coffee tariffs, Ukraine war, tomorrow. Today we golf. Elon, you're in charge. JD, stay away from the furniture. Time to MAGA

I see people deactivating various social media accounts, which I understand & respect, but I’m done letting Bad Tech Bros™️ chase me out of my community spaces. Maybe there are no more “good places.” Maybe there are only good people doing their best to navigate—& use for good—problematic spaces.

Many voters sat out the election, voted third-party, or worse yet, voted for Trump, protesting the destruction in Gaza. How y'all feeling now that Trump wants to "clean out" Gaza, move Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, and resume shipment of 2,000lb bombs to Israel? www.nbcnews.com/news/world/t...

nbcnews.comTrump says he wants to 'clean out' Gaza and move Palestinians to Jordan and EgyptTrump also confirmed he had instructed the military to resume shipments of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, which had been paused over concerns about civilian casualties.

You know how during an election we always say "if you're in line, STAY IN LINE"? Here's the new version: If you're in a federal job, STAY IN YOUR FEDERAL JOB. Don't quit. That's obeying in advance. Make them fire you. Then sue them to stop it. Keep fighting. Do NOT surrender.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”
