Here to find a community where it is safe to be yourself, know you don’t know everything, and feel safe to ask questions. Forced to be political. Prefer art and things that lead with love instead. Hopeful but fully Woke to know we need to do better.

I don’t have words. This is a truly hard hitting one. Her legacy lives on. But it feels like the world’s a bit dimmer now without this bright light shining in it.

Well said.

If I could like and repost this a gazillion times I would, but I'll make a little image meme of it instead: "Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary down payment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment." - Mark Hamill

Not my words, but comes directly from a conversation I had. May Seem basic to some, but I stopped and wrote it down because it speaks so much truth to the Atrocities happening here in the US & globally. “Empires, nations, and those with power write the history. The oppressed write the truth.”

Some people tend to say indoctrinate when they seem to mean educate. Some people are truly scared of children’s poor minds being corrupted & recruited by the evil agenda of DEI. Are they worried that innocent minds will follow the voices spreading love for all over imprisonment & damnation? WTF

My opinion as a Texan who is tired of ethical, morally centered people’s voices behind silenced and ignored. The Texas Redistricting that is happening right now can not be defined as anything more than scared people in power grasping at straws to keep the bribe money rolling. Pure Stank Ass Bullshit

Kind of where I’m at honestly. Finding the happiness in being blessed to still have people to be happy with even when the world makes us feel we don’t deserve it. Sharing love doesn’t mean everything is ok. But it prepares us for happier times when we beat this evil back to submission & obliteration

you can still radiate light if you’re sad. you can still be kind and soft-hearted if you’re a bit cynical. you don’t need to be the happiest person to make someone else’s day better. ♡

Honestly even further back then that, from when he was denying housing on basis of race. Luckily I had a father that hated him long before I could pick up the torch. Miss you Dad. Wish our torch could burn the whole thing down.

I hated Donold back in the Central Park five days long before it was cool.

I’ve had a similar conversation. Only not with my son. Luckily he has been forced fed Trump hate since Trump was firing people for ratings on reality TV. Scarier still it’s with people who somewhat directly affect my distribution of pay. One of the reasons I’ve kept my work options open since 2016.

My son thinks I've got "Trump Derangement Syndrome." I calmly explained to him that actually, it's just the sound of a cult member's brain short-circuiting when their God- Leader goes off-script. Common mistake."

Needed this comment today. It saved me from turning off the light I have growing inside again finally. Thought it might help somebody else today. “Don’t give people the power to turn your growth into a punchline, just because they’re not growing with you.”

This! 100 %Call this what it is. What we say and do matters. This isn’t cute or funny. We are dealing with control, overreach, death and abuse. It is about to get so much worse, the silent people are not ready. It is going to take a lot of work to get back to normal if there ever was a normal.

I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?

I firmly believe we need to retire all the CUTESY names for the camps that are going to start popping up because they are officially fully funded now. My opinion we need to name them after the city/region they are in and not sugar coat it. The first facility is The Everglades Concentration Camp.

I thought Idiocracy was funny at the time. I never signed up as an extra for the prequel. We are living in a world where some dystopian nightmares you could never believe aren’t just possible. They are happening or in the beginning stages of such. We need to turn off the devices and look around.

I have found an issue arising in my algorithm. While I love all animals and their beauty, truly do. I will admit I do have my favorites. I love my cats and cat lovers and all, but literally where are my dogs at this week? Really needing some best friend love.

I’m down to one pupper in house and she is amazing as all my best friend pupper pals have been. But need some furry inspiration to survive this current climate. Actual heat and the 🌎 ❤️🐶

So very hard! Monopoly always felt like a double, triple negative with a backward twist. Just like Life I guess. Too much of a good thing gets you in trouble. I say got to be just lucky enough to win, but stay free. Oh and look at jail as timeout when you are ahead. That and always be the Scottie.

My personal music rabbit hole sent me on a deep dive this morning including Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Lil Dicky. To say my morning has been interesting and a little all over the place would be an understatement. But hey it’s me living my authentic self. Win 🏅

“Controlling the Algorithm” seems like a full time job now. I NEED to know the horrible things being perpetrated around us. But man I have to have my music, animals, art, games, and being stupid just cause on purpose. I yearn for the day when it’s too many of the fun pics to get through again. ❤️🌏🤯

What a tribute! “In my Room” was so important to me growing up. It spoke of my first personal sanctuary. It was my first safe space to be alone and ok. It was filled with things I loved and was proud of and still is. I’ve come full circle and am actually staring at my “childhood room”. Still safe.

DIANA KRALL performed the Brian Wilson/Beach Boys song "In My Room" when I saw her Thursday night at the Elkhart Jazz Festival. Beautiful. I just found out she did "In My Room" and Bob Dylan's “Queen Jane Approximately” as the encore last night when she closed her show in St. Louis. Here is video

We need to be aggressively vigilant moving forward always. The time calls for being constantly vigilant, calculated, and decisive. Let’s call organizations, corporations, groups, and entities what they are. I can only see The Heritage Foundation as a racist, bigoted, terroristic, hate group.

If that’s the label they deserve it’s the one that needs to stick. If this is what they want, what they are controlling the masses with call it what it is. Don’t let them hide in the shadows and thrive off our impoverished backs and then poke their heads up to say we are wrong to want a fair share.

We have to speak out. It’s past the time to hope for change. We have to stand up, be accountable, and make the change we seek. If we are silent it is taken as agreement. I do not agree with what is happening. Change is needed now, before more innocent people become victims to people peddling hate.

It is ridiculous we are officially in a police state and most Americans still don’t realize it. If you take away the beyond loose interpretation of the Insurrection Act, what he did was literally declare martial law on the City of Los Angeles.

Tangy Tizzle@tangytizzle.bsky.social

These people need to be identified and arrested!!!

Which could force our military members who are trained for combat to make the decision if they will fire their weapons on American citizens while they are helping ICE pick up random day laborers at a Home Depot.

Call me crazy but I’m not worried about what the day laborers are doing here at the moment. I’m more concerned with the Constitution being trampled by a Felon who should have never been allowed to run. Cause guess what the Felon in charge is doing more felon level shit. Surprised?

I count what 10-12 officers in frame and one civilian woman approaching law enforcement simply trying to get home. Not one officer could take charge and de-escalate the situation like a human being. Or are we all to assume she is a high danger individual. She was outnumbered 10 to 1 and he fired. 😖

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Scares me when “tar and feathered” is used in jest in this political environment. When “tar and feathered” is joked about as punishment regarding people exercising their constitutional rights and it isn’t immediately condemned by the public. The next thing sent in jest just might be “strange fruit”.

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way? MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

Scream it from the Hilltops so everyone hears. Whether it’s the Native Americans, Slaves, Irish, Italians, Hispanics and countless other groups of poor immigrants to blame at the time. In the US it has always been the rich blaming the poor group they are already controlling that is the problem.

noYOUhush@noyouhush.bsky.social

And the poor groups usually turning on the other poor groups or their own people instead of forcing equality for all. Oh and that group of controlling whites in America includes the founding fathers who a large portion were slave owners. When was America great? Balance the wealth disparity now!

He’s been doing this forever. The people that voted for him and said they didn’t know who he is are either stupid, blind, hiding in a hole, or lying. Any of those options are unacceptable and I’m not sorry you are sorry. Be smarter next time if there is one. FUCK ME!

Jay@pescado70.bsky.social

How does this man do things everyday that would qualify as treason and immediately cancel and bring up charges against any other President in history? Every time I think ok well that has to be the end. NOW ANYONE we put in power is going to do something to stop this madness? Then I wake up to worse!

Hard not to agree with that Seth. I just don’t understand the humanity in most humans anymore. Even if she is horrible enough to think this. Why post it unless you are trying to cash in on hate? I just can’t relate at all with a person like that.

I was indoctrinated into the Catholic Church and that journey almost ruined my possible faith journey. My parents were believers in their faith so this pisses me off for them. Is there ever a level of respect for anyone that is not actively making this man money? If there is a god he is watching.

Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social

This may be the most obscene thing this man has ever done on social media It’s offensive at a level I’m struggling to articulate, but we can start with the fact that he’s again framing himself as God’s chosen representative on Earth when he is, remember, a _serial sexual predator_
