I’m sharing this here in case you, too, come across some idiot claiming people who use SNAP all drive fancy cars and are “stealing” from tax payers.

MASS WORLD PROTESTS THREAD:👇🧵

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

While 90% of media (owned by 6 billionaires) were focusing on getting teachers fired for calling Kirk a nazi… there were mass protests all over the world!

Did you hear about any of them?

I dug up some videos:👇🧵

Almost winning the war to the bottom. Soooo cloooose.

Swear her in.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

It absolutely should be a much bigger story! Good grief!!

Words matter.

Graphic with a cream background. At the top in large black text: “Celebrate Bisexuality Day!” In the upper right corner is “UUA.org” in smaller black text. To the right is a blue cloud with gold sparkles, from which three vertical stripes extend downward in the bisexual pride colors: pink, purple with white dots, and blue. On the left, a large pink paint swatch is framed in black brackets, containing a white text quote: “I know exactly who I am… I’m bi today, bi tomorrow, bi forever.” Beneath the quote, in black text: “Rev. Dr. Kimi Floyd Reisch, The First Rule of Bi Club.” At the bottom left is the Unitarian Universalist Association flaming chalice logo with the words “Unitarian Universalist Association.”

Strongmen can't control large amounts of people. They can only condition them to believe they have fewer options. Condition them against their own freedom. Like mice or rats in a lab. You’re always free—even in a developing dictatorship—but you’re always more free… if you know it. Propaganda is stronger than weapons in the effort to convince people to give up their rights and cease fighting back. It controls the narrative and erodes morale. It conditions you like rats in a lab. It makes you complicit in your own imprisonment. A participant in your own oppression.

The little things matter so much.
They always have. Don’t dim your shine just because some can’t stand the brightness.

Graphic with a soft golden background and scattered autumn leaves in shades of orange, yellow, and brown. At the top left is a sun-and-moon symbol, half golden sun rays and half brown moon with craters. Bold brown text at the top right reads “BLESSED MABON.” Below, smaller italicized brown text says: “A time of balance, gratitude, and harvest. May this equinox bring peace and abundance.” At the bottom right, a watercolor-style illustration shows two stacked pumpkins in orange and cream tones with green stems and leaves. At the bottom left, the UUA flaming chalice logo is placed over an orange maple leaf. Along the bottom center, an orange banner contains the white text: “UUA.ORG.”

🍂✨ Blessed Mabon ✨🍂 The autumn equinox is a season of balance, gratitude, and harvest. May peace, renewal, and abundance be with all who observe. #Mabon #AutumnEquinox #UU #UnitarianUniversalist

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Jasmine Crockett: “The president literally said he would look at anyone who decided they were going to vote to release the Epstein Files as hostile. We don’t swear to an Orange King. Instead, we have sworn an oath to the Constitution.”

Woohoo!! They’re ready to welcome you back! (Unfortunately atm it’s also heat advisory hot here.)

Received the news during a keynote address on this very subject.

Yeah. My beauties jumped completely off social media too. I understand.

Amazing speak.

I tell my students: Budget math isn't about arithmetic. Budgets are statements of values, and behind every number is a choice about who and what we value.

So as you evaluate the Republican budget bill, ask yourself: Does it give voice to your values?

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

My GA experience

Judges consider using a different security than the U.S. Marshals because they report to Pam Bondi and the threats are coming from the White House.

They worry that Trump could order the marshals to stand down in
retaliation for a decision that didn't go his way.

Oh no! We got more sun than expected too. Not too bad though. We brought sunscreen for sure down here!!

East Tennessee here (it’s a long state!) and we had absolutely lovely weather. Meanwhile a friend returning from Nashville had a way too close encounter with a tornado!!

🥳

Por qué no los dos?

Love the pitcher plants! ❤️

I too was pleased with how many congregants we saw. And how many we heard were there but never encountered. Much bigger than I would have expected in TN!!

Yeah. I am curious but still don’t want to look.
