Love love love the red! They look fab on you!

Foxy Lusty-Grover Hello, this is me Foxy from Bluesky. If you've seen the things I do and would like to buy me a coffee that sure would be kind.

Can you help our lovely Foxy celebrate her Dad’s 80th? This is a huge moment for them ❤️

Ohhh looks like maybe Miller? That would be a very good thing indeed.

Bringing things to the very brink and pulling back is Trump's main technique for expanding his range of options and his own power.

He's damn good at it.

Wonder if Puppy Killer Barbie is going to keep her job?

It's a nightmare choice.

What a terrible choice to make. I think it might depend on if I had friends or family in the area willing to support in a pinch?

I'd want a smart and educated network ready to assist if needed. I'd also want to talk to Yale directly and hear from them their plans for protecting these kids.

Men are a bit of challenge sometimes. I cooked a lovely meal and he was supposed to carry it upstairs so we can eat and watch TV.

But he's cleaning the kitchen. Which is lovely, but I did want to eat hot food?

“To gain a place on the Dean's List, a doctoral thesis has to meet criteria demonstrating excellence: a timely completion and agreement by all examiners that the thesis is of exceptional quality in every respect. The exceptionality of the research is demonstrated through the contextual and analytical content, originality, quality of expression, accuracy of presentation, and contribution to knowledge in the field. Your thesis was considered by the examiners to be among the top ten percent they had examined in their respective fields.”

So I learnt today that my PhD thesis has been placed on the Dean’s List of Exceptional Theses!!!

I agree, but I think the breaking apart (and the trying to hold power without the charisma to do it) is profoundly dangerous. Maybe worse than the current situation.

Whether this is good or bad really comes down to your own personal stance on whether pushing through to win is the right move or trying to stabilise BAU is the right thing.

I'm a pusher these days.

I get it and I want it to happen too, but I also think he's the one with the juice and with the juice comes the ability to know when to reel things back because you pushed too far.

Without him, I don't know who in the Vance admin has that sense.

Can’t believe I‘m saying this, but Bill Clinton put out a pretty powerful statement about the killings in Minneapolis.

I’m a huge soccer fan. I was so excited for the World Cup—for years.

But, there is no way to host a World Cup in the midst of consolidating fascism and threatening imperialist expansion.

Canada and Mexico can pick up the extra games. The U.S. can’t be part of it.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.

They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.

The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.

We all must now hold the light and become candles and lights in the cold, dark night for one another and ourselves. We will become bright enough to light the way to better.

This is what Minnesota is.

We just want to make sure everyone is ok and safe.

And yet I presume he will continue his lucrative writing gig and those of us who have been marginalised for issuing these warnings for the past decade will continue to be shunted aside in the mainstream discourse, yes? That's the plan?

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Means of Control by Byron Tau is a really good book if you want to learn more about the ads-to-government pipeline, especially when it was operating at its peak back in the early to mid 2010s

Only in the very reddest places--Idaho, Texas, maybe parts of Tennessee given how bad things are there now.

Everywhere else I think the back-up governments will be able to maintain order.

The thing that haunts me the most at night is that they're going to kill another person in the next few weeks. They're going to kill another and another and another and another until we fucking stop them

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I think this is the moment where we learn if the tattered remains of the American federal government are going to be able to come together to reestablish the rule of law.

I am dubious and think legitimate power is going to move down a few rungs.

This is the time of state and local government.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Liberate the camps

Board of Peace going to become the Board of War real quick

It is so good! And easy to make--time is the only thing you need to get it right. Be sure the cubes are well set before you assemble the cake and then chill it overnight before unmoulding.

I think if you are looking for a delicious and economical celebration cake--especially if your children really hate traditional cake--this is a perfect way to go!
