Liberal Midwesterner. Mid-century music, architecture, vehicles, furnishings catch my eye. I know a little bit about freight and supply chains. I should read more. The journey is usually more rewarding than the destination.

If there's one word - one act - that I would like to see return to our society, it is this: Mercy. Mercy for the poor. For the addicted. For the elderly. For the infirm. For those with sudden family issues. With sudden loss. Both governments and individuals need to show mercy. Let's get started.

The "rat on your neighbor" initiative by TOFU and his cabal has the makings of a way to unconstitutionally grab, detain, and sentence Americans who object to his fascist plot. This could sweep up members of Congress, plus state and local leaders. A few quick strikes and it's Civil War. Beware.

I'll add that today's unhinged Oval Office presser - with vicious anger vividly displayed - coupled with tonight's nutso ramblings in North Carolina - He could demand ANYTHING. Yes, ANYTHING. Nuke Ukraine. Nuke Chicago. Arrest every Dem in Congress. He has enough loyal forces to start things.

I haven't made a FB post in months. I never signed up with Instagram. Or X/Twitter. Glad to still have Yahoo e-mail and BlueSky for staying aware. "NO KINGS" also means NO OLIGARCHY. VIGILANCE AND DETERMINATION, EVERYONE.

No corporation is gonna silence our message! ❌👑 Keep helping us amplify #NoKings today so we can drive HISTORIC early vote turnout, and overcome Trump’s election sabotage.

Oh, how I want to see the whole performance. Exquisite turnarounds by Lonnie Johnson. Great Spivey vocals. And Aleck Miller does OK, too :)

There must be severe and wide-sweeping legal repercussions once Democrats return to power. SERIOUS TIME BEHIND BARS. No "bygones." No "look forward, not backward." LAWS NEED TO APPLY TO EVERYONE.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

More insider trading and war profiteering from inside the White House Billions made. Investigators were then told to stand down. Off the charts corruption.

Having traveled around Youngstown recently, I did some research on Trump's venue tonight. Oh, boy. ...2000, when then U.S. Rep. James A. Traficant Jr., a Democrat, secured $26.8 million in federal funds to construct a “convocation center” in exchange for supporting a Republican for House speaker.

As disgustingly twisted the planned public execution of Nidal Hasan is shaping up, I'm surprised Hegseth hasn't gone beyond firing squad to opt for a giant magnifying glass held up to sunlight - just like he most assuredly did with ants back in grade school.

COMPLETELY non-political question here: Has anyone else noticed aluminum beverage cans are getting weaker? Twice in the last month, I've had cans spring pinhole leaks from just a little bit of banging around. Not from the top - from the sides. Hive mind, am I losing it? Or are can manufacturers?

Hmmm. Altman said WE (not him!!) "should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology..." What bad things is HE willing to accept as one of the few people positioned to amass the majority of said benefits? Independent regulation? Nationalization? A kill switch? Tell us!

A whole political movement should be stood up against this arrogant and sociopathic bullshit www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Go forth and multiply, little turtles!

Highly-endangered Hawksbill Turtle hatchlings emerging from the sand and marching to begin their life in the unimaginably vast ocean. One of the most amazing experiences of my life. As a volunteer, we do not divulge their whereabouts. My heart is melted. #herps #love #marinelife #nokings #turtle

The GOP has instilled venomous hatred for "the other," following playbooks of other totalitarian regimes to the letter. The kindly people who in a split second will turn on you, ready to kill you for questioning the sacred status of their leader. These cutltists need to be marginalized - or we die.

Charles Keener@charleskeener.bsky.social

Yeah...Ummm... "Existential risks [PLURAL!!!] to humanity" And here most of us freak out over medicines that may cause explosive diarrhea. Seems that AI, SI, or AYY YIII YIII is NOT what we need a this point in civilization.

The new photo of Don and Mel - the one where their dark angry souls are on full display - I knew I'd seen that look in the eyes before. A look directed at someone who was very unwelcome and within seconds of physical violence. Then I remembered this nearly 50-year-old photo. Buddy Guy, center.

I'm sharing this in the hope that some architect, municipal zoning person, or just a business owner with a public toilet will see this and think, "hey, I can get a sign like this made and make the world easier and less embarassing for someone." This SO. MAKES. SENSE.

Digital Brain@yourdigitalbrain.bsky.social

This tiny fix solves a problem you never realized you had, and once you see it, it makes perfect sense.

ICEtapo is getting more violent and reckless as they are ordered to bring in more brown people. This sick brigade of mercenaries needs to be disbanded and members charged for everything from civil rights violations to accessories to murder. No amnesty. No "bygones." Prosecute, convict, sentence.

BREAKING: Evanston police confirm a U.S. citizen was briefly detained by federal agents Sunday morning near Howard and Dodge before being released The man was taken to the hospital for injuries to his head, neck and teeth after agents drove off

You know how sometimes you're thinking of calling the radio station to request a song? And before you call - there it is, on the air? Just happened to me...But not a common record. Listening to Mike Carr over Philly Gold Radio's stream - from Wisconsin - and he played this... (1/2)

I just wrote to my Republican senator and basically said that their party does not want to witness the backlash of defying BOTH a COURT ORDER AND THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. If you can write to your Congresscritter - ESPECIALLY THE GOP ONES - share YOUR MIND AND HEART. While we still can.

To even CONTEMPLATE that the current US regime has at least one person (or SEVERAL PEOPLE) who look to Josef Mengele to guide their research --- Again, I'm out of expletives. We need prosecutions, convictions, and lifetime sentences to remove these monsters from the rest of humanity.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

HHS wants to relax regulations on human subject research (The Common Rule). For example, they want to redefine “undue influence” on vulnerable human research subjects (children, prisoners, disabled, culturally disadvantaged). 1/

Stating the obvious (again) - but PEOPLE IN ICE AND DHS NEED TO BE CHARGED, CONVICTED, AND IMPRISONED FOR LONG SENTENCES AS PUNISHMENT FOR ABETTING THESE ATROCITIES.

The Arizona Star is doing stand-out reporting on the plight of Ahmed Soliman, who grew up in Phoenix (since he was 4). ICE paid $7.5 million to Equatorial Guinea, a repressive dictatorship with a history of torture, to send him and others there. Now he's been tortured. 1/2 tucson.com/news/local/b...

I am looking for the day when a Congressional Truth Commission gets some white hat code jockeys to do some database matching of phone records, hotel records, paychecks, and other documents to identify all the ICE agents involved in every murder coverup - and then charge them as accessories to crime.

Eugenics and snuff films. The moral depravity of this regime has few equals over the past century.

Alex Russell@infrequently.org

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel: publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller…

This should disturb ALL AMERICANS. Whenever government targets groups of its citizens, it can go after EVERY CITIZEN FOR ANY REASON IT CREATES. And we've seen that over and over with this regime. They're not quitting. They're becoming mre vicious.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com

Past federal surveillance of unions has generally happened “during really dark periods of our history,” said Jessica West, assistant professor of law at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

Send this to EVERY vet, service member, and military family. Three military officials said...that the Trump administration decided to remove four service members killed this past weekend from the list...because their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April.

Sharing because we must never lose sight - or sound - of the beauty that humans can create...Even as we acknowledge the destruction that (some) humans are gleefully causing. Thank you for posting, Global Museum.

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

Maybe it's always been this way - and maybe these times have made me more attentive to this - But does it feel like more and more "regular people" are celebrating being selfish? Things line "I have a landmark old building but I'm gonna tear it down because FU" (and similar things with properties).

Serious question: what kind of monsters do they have in Missouri to find themselves hating reading, children, AND DOLLY PARTON?!?!

Mayor Q@mayorq.bsky.social

I love living in Kansas City, but Missouri makes it tough each day. Reading to our young kids is essential for their development. There are currently 169,000 Missouri kids in the program, which sent out half a million books in the first three months of the year. Most won’t get new books.

So there's hubbub about Customs being pulled from the airports that are in "woke sanctuary cities." Most of these places aren't just international passenger terminals - they handle a LOT of inbound / outbound freight (with adjacent warehousing space). Pharmaceuticals are a big part of that trade.

There's absolutely no way that air cargo can get diverted from these gateways. None. And for overseas companies waiting for American parts for broken equipment to be repaired, they'll buy replacements from other suppliers rather than wait three weeks. And they'll scrap American products en masse.

So, follow me on this... The a-hole J6ers who get their bribe money? ALL OF US should harass the fq out of them. Dare them to take us on and throw a punch. They swing fists? We sue them for every cent they have. Clean 'em out and send 'em back to poverty.

Mr. Occam, what do you think happened? "I wasn't there, but you have an FBI that fired many domestic monitors, an administration that lavishes itself in opulence while condemning others to poverty, and a regime that tries to unite religion with killing. Surprising there weren't more shooters."
