Well that’s too bad. She was REALLY in to her job.
Also? What in the hell is a “Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas”? Sounds like a bullshit title to protect a criminal from being prosecuted as a private citizen. Doesn’t it?
Yeah. It does.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
Hey. This is a new app made by Palestinian. Very cool. Growing fast and no billionaires.
One U.S. citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.
The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”
May you get the time and space you need to grieve. May you and all who are personally touched by this find comfort and ease.
In its response to a federal lawsuit filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (seeking to halt construction of Trump’s planned new ballroom) the DOJ argued that objections to the demolition of the East Wing are “moot because the demolition has already occurred and cannot be undone.”
Foiled ‘terror’ plots have been bullshit for 25 years at least. Please be serious.

The DHS wants your driver's license information. Why? To make it harder for people to vote.
Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

In case you didn’t know, I love Emma Thompson.
HELLO THIS
How is this remotely constitutional? Our Supreme Court has made a mockery of the separation of powers.
Yes, Trump and his henchman are fascists. No, you should not stop calling them fascists.
The latest government shutdown centers on health care. Democrats want Obamacare subsidies extended and GOP Medicaid cuts reversed. Trump and the GOP shut the government and spread false claims about undocumented immigrants. Here’s what’s at stake in a showdown that impacts millions of Americans.
Trump - Hey farmers, I'm going to bail you out of the mess I created BUT you're crops won't sell again to China, I've tripled your health insurance, and your closest hospitals are closing soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This is why all of these get deleted and reported as junk
Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.
Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.
One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.
Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.
14 years ago I ordained as a monk. Every year I mark the day. Sometimes with grief, sometimes with joy, most times a bit of both. May all beings be at ease, and free from harm. May my practice be worthy of all the support. Thank you, and I am sorry.

I left a community and game that I have been a part of for over 25 years. Apparently queerness is too political.
If you're new to Bluesky and adjusting from FB, yep, the way the platforms work is different. It helps to make use of Feeds and Lists. I've created "Resistance: Spiritual Nourishment," "Resistance: Effective Action" lists and more to help me find folks I respect. You're welcome to look at them:
