🧵 One of #MAGA s favorite things to do is to demand that normal Americans "prove" that Trump (& his Administration) are #Racist. Their argument is that #DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is how #Democrats are "the real racists" and that by highlighting race & racial difference all the time [1/5]
[5/5] Yeah. You heard that right. Black veterans are owed billions of $ that they can't collect from the US Gov if they won't stay "black"! It turns out that back when #eugenics sounded "scienceyish enough" they found ways to pretend that black ppl need less healthcare by having... #SmallerLungs? 🙄

@omacolt.bsky.social , @breakingkind.bsky.social Any advice for a Challenge- Creator Newbie? How do I force... er, umm... I mean, ALLOW lots of other skeeters to adopt #SignFiresDailyThemes ? 😇
@omacolt.bsky.social - you keep track of all the monthly movie challenges, right? Do you know any of the others for art or music?
We tend to think our existence is so unique... but then something like this shows up on our feeds and we find ourselves in awe of infinite possibilities of life and meaning beyond the fences of our mental real estate.

I mean, I understand how abled people see things because up until 10 years ago I was an abled person. I never considered my ADD (now ADHD type whatever) to be a "disability" because I treated it like a superpower. Same thing with being gay. So "disability" I only saw through a very narrow lens [1/4]
That's the part that still perplexes me... How wealth is so damn important to Americans that it can supercede things like basic intelligence, civic duty, ethic sensibility, morality or artistic expression.
The blatant mediocrity of all of Trumps associates is astounding. It’s almost as if they formed a Union of Fascist Demented Dumb Arseholes. UFDDA.
The GOP is glad that most of America only knows Epstein to the tune of his sex trafficking... They do not know and refuse to consider that the bigger scandal (why he either killed himself or someone unalived him) is his foreign policy resume of shady weapons deals with Qatar & the likes. IJS
In Israel, a nearly unprecedented scandal known as Qatargate has led to a sweeping police investigation and potential indictments of several members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s innermost circle. Ruth Margalit reports. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
This was the fastest painting I've ever sold. Seriously, I had to take it back from the buyer to give it more time to dry! Yes, the title & mood were inspired by the Adele song. I rarely title my work with the exact name of a song (2 maybe 3 times) but this one broke a lot of my rules to get here.
One of the more Pagan-inspired mandalas I've painted on stone: This one just took shape as I was designing it & I found myself painting on a topic of symbiosis & environmental balance. Even the stones I paint are always unique, one of a kind and come with a CoA to establish provenance. #artsky
If you still have an #X #Twitter account, do #humanity a small favor, dust it off to #retweet #boost this important tweet from @LinaMKhan. Also, go right to #California #AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov and tell him not to do Trumpy #corporate shit like settle a #monopoly #merger because... #voters #vote

DWS is "Paying the Piper" at exactly the wrong time... She's not like Jared Moskowitz & has been critical of Bibi in the past... She needs her voters to let her know that she no longer needs AIPAC funding to stay elected & relevant. She can safely call it Genocide because it is just that.
Off the top of my head, I only know 3 things about Gloria & all 3 are 👍 ✅1. She did for Hugh Hefner what Michael Moore did for George W. Bush 😆 ✅2. She was NOT a "TERF' who went berserk when teens wanted to play sports or take their meds. 🙄 ✅3. She was pretty sure men can be feminists too. 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
What Gloria Steinem accomplished in the 20th century paved the way for women from my generation to go further. We should always hope to evolve beyond our heroes, to take a step or several further, to solve for their blind spots. That we’re able to do that is a success.
The supposed logic behind the Established Dem campaigns is that Progressives will lose the Boomer vote by being so "extreme". But MY logic is that MAGA is both "extreme" & "morally corrupt." Even the most socialism lovin, no-borders-seeing, transgender school-teachin' proggy should get our votes!
