If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
Spring forward... Fall back... whatever.
Can we just pick ONE & stick with it once & for ALL?!!! ⏰
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
We already have the right to challenge a book's placement in a school library... and that's a good thing.
This bill undermines that by forcing librarians to work according to the political needs of a current regime.
Don't even joke about banning books you just don't like. Bans take away rights.
Anyone up for a stroll down memory lane... ?
(just lucky to be a workin' stiff)

Me: I love books. I will never stop buying them. I will die buried beneath them like a cairn.
Me while packing: whose shitass idea was this?
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Eisenhower
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators
Cartoon by Mike Luckovich.
“‘I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,’ Pritzker said. ‘We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.’”
“She’s not from here.”
I am so goddamn proud of her.
