I once was @tsvi at Twiттeя nitter.net/tsvi Then I moved, went offline. The past 4 years taught us a lot about ourselves & humanity: Nobody cares about their neighbor. America First. AfD (Germany). One China. Gaza. DRCongo. Ukraine. If hope can survive Dark Ages, we can survive this. Keep the faith

I care-ish, just about as much as he's "Jew-ish". #santos #liar #antisemitism #criminal #GOP

Why #France matters: #EU itself at stake. #LePen & her #NationalRally represent #tRumpism in #Europe: For those who forget: #SteveBannon cheered at *their* rally saying: "Let them call you #racist ... Wear it as a badge of honor." www.politico.com/story/2018/0... www.politico.eu/article/fran...

#JuniorSays keep #Curiosity alive #FightOrFlight isn't the only choice. Fight/flight itself is a choice; another choice exists altogether. You can't even be in a fight/flight state, if you remain curious. Even if you're lying down next to ceiling with no way to safely find solid ground on your own.

When Sinatra recorded this 1945 song written by Abel Meeropol, who also wrote Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit," the right-wing press lambasted it, accused Sinatra of peddling socialism, and the FBI investigated Sinatra. "The House I Live In" is about diversity and tolerance.

#BlazingSaddles: "They say that now, in Paris France, even as we speak [in 1879!], Louis Pasteur has devised a new vaccine...think of it, gentleman, #HoofAndMouth disease -- a thing of the past.." youtu.be/VZSzr4Y8hsk?...

My AI describes irony as a discrepancy between expectation and reality, often with a sense of "perverse appropriateness" -- President Jackson's Legacy was no less than the Trail of Tears. After we chop down his tree, we should also take Jackson off the $20 bill. www.denverpost.com/2014/03/07/w...

Y'all missed Heat:

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

*sigh* ...anyone else?

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Mere coincidence? Makes me wonder who rang the bell in 1929 on 'crash'-day

This Hegseth quote is actually aging quite well:

This is a photo of from r/catsofukraine on Reddit. This cat knows what's going on.

I am here for @aoc.bsky.social kicking Muck in the nuts. More, please. #tesla

“Sudan is waiting for an intervention that might never happen” Excellent long-read from Mark Townsend on atrocities - widespread and localised - in #Sudan, amidst #UK, #UN, and international silence. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

#ProudBlue #MomSky Here is another story of the cruelty & illegal actions of the Trump administration. I could not post the full video because it’s longer than 3 mins, so here is the link if you have Tiktok. We MUST keep pushing back on these EVIL actions be ICE. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82bDQrt/

I could easily live with this. And so many more people in the Middle East / elsewhere would, too. But you won't get Russia to stop refighting the 1856 Crimean War. And you won't see Trump leave office until after the Hoovervilles have overflowed. And neither Hamas nor Bibi are going away soon.

I've been homeless. In winter. Doesn't matter how they got there, it is a shame to have to even be seen that way. Have empathy for that shame. Stop looking away, turning away, that's evil even if you're an atheist. Being homeless is as much about economic disparity as it is about any individual.

Violating records acts, National security, AND ALSO heads of Intelligence and Military all using an unauthorized private server to coordinate an actual war attack, but supposedly Hillary Clinton and Colin Powell can't work for peace using a private server. Trump-fools think they're above the law.

#JuniorSays, It's #MondayMorning, so, let the neighbor's #cat in & let him show you exactly how he feels." I feel like he's just wandering in & letting himself be at home (Yes, I've been known to do same for friendly humans. I guess I'm more like Jesus than Bible-thumping conservatives that way?)
