Tardigrade Targaryen

In our small town of Bennington, VT, there were a ton of folks at the #NoKings rally. We lined up along North St for about 1/2 mile.

Counter to what Republicans have been saying this week, we love this country, and we want it to be safe, prosperous, & welcoming for everyone.

I follow in a long line of anti-fascists. My father fought the fascists in World War II. My grandfather fought the fascists in the shtetl. There is a tradition of being anti-fascist that runs deep in my family.

I am proud to be Antifa. Come and get me.

Fall is in full glory in #Vermont!

What we could have had.

PIPER, NOOOO

I lived in LA for 9 years.

Getting people to get on the freeway for *anything* (let alone a peaceful protest downtown) is in itself a good indication of the magnificent spirit of these Angelenos.

I'd wait until v.2.4 comes out. It's much better.

@meidastouch.com: "Schumer was asked about how Dems were going to respond to Trump's attempt to extort Harvard: "We sent him a very strong letter just the other day asking eight very strong questions.""

Bravo @schumer.senate.gov - THIS is the sternly worded letter that'll stop Trump's fascism!

Everyone around him is incompetent and obviously scared to give him any news that is bad.

A fine spring night in #Vermont

There was a restaurant in the Palais Royale. It was Cocteau-themed because the woman who owned it apparently was his lover.

We had a fantastic meal, ending with the most delicious dessert I've ever had: coupe damnation - a delectable, decadent confection of chestnut cream and chocolate.

Sigh.

Style expert breaks down what Trump's taste projects about his presidency Every president brings a personal touch to the Oval Office, and President Trump is going for gold. NPR's Michel Martin asks Washington Post senior critic Robin Givhan about the image that projects.

"We reached out to leading Roman style critic, Tullius Germanicus, to analyze the varnish used for Nero's violin and what it says about his leadership."

I wonder where Jill Stein is in all this, and why she isn't breaking her only-come-out-every-four-years-and-fuck-things-up rule.

No, I don't. Not really.

Equating autism with severe mental disability is evil.

Next thing you know, he'll be setting up special "hospitals" in El Salvador.

That's my rep!

I'm tired just reading this post

"President Trump thanked the North Korean People's Doctor for his continued affirmation of the immortality granted our Dear Leader and the glowing beneficence he bestows upon all who behold him."

Isn’t it weird how quiet all those “weaponization of government” yahoos get when Donald Trump personally orders his DOJ to go after people who criticized him?

Bennington, #Vermont. 500-600 people in a town of 15k braved the cold rain!

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

It is a foggy day up on the mountain. This old birch stands tall on the edge of the forest, the deep dark behind him.

They wanted to get rid of 'woke'.

Boy, did they ever wake people up.

Bring Bernie home to VT, too!

A pile of interesting rocks of various sizes on the ground

It's a bit silly, but I have a secret stash of interesting (to me, at least) rocks near where I take a walk in the woods most days. It serves no purpose but to make me smile when I pass by, or add a new treasure to it.
