The loss of sales are good, keeping Musk's heinous actions and fascist/racist positions front and center is critical ... but PLEASE!!! No more violence/destruction at Tesla dealerships or facilities. It only hurts our cause, and gives MAGA authoritarians fuel for their fire.

What the actual f*%#??!?! How is this allowed?

Black Medal of Honor recipient removed from US Department of Defense website — Guardian US Page honoring Charles C Rogers for his Vietnam war service is now defunct with letters ‘DEI’ added to website address

So the openly racist American Apartheid movement is in full swing … I wish I could say I’m surprised. 😢

Awarded the Medal of Honor by Nixon in 1970, this man was wounded three times while leading the defense of a base.

On Saturday, US army Maj Gen Charles Calvin Rogers’ Medal of Honor webpage led to a “404” error message. The URL was also changed, with the word “medal” changed to “deimedal”.

With the unhinged insanity unfolding in the current administration, it is getting increasingly hard to figure out effective parody. But this seems to fit the bill pretty well…

Gorgeous!!

Based on the 2022 amendments to the Inspector General Act of 1978, the immediate termination of Inspectors General (especially without documented cause) is SIMPLY ILLEGAL.

If you add into the equation the blanket immunity for any “official act” conferred on this dictator by SCOTUS, what can we do? It’s verifiably illegal … any attorneys out there who might be able to shed some light on this?

Right there with you!

Ultimately, compassion, empathy and kindness *are* my religion - and at the very heart of all I aspire to be. 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

Opinion: Trump’s election is a crisis like no other, not only for the U.S. but the world There is no sense in understating the depth of the disaster of Donald Trump’s re-election

Andrew Coyne, a highly respected Canadian columnist with the Globe and Mail, pulls no punches on the incoming US administration. Definitely an important read…

Excellent idea … thank you!

One other thing that I’m passionate about is sharing artistic and literary offerings created by people I love and respect. Definitely wanted to share this offering by my musical brother @toddboston.bsky.social that is dropping soon!

Honored to be a part of it!🙏🏼💜

Just the tip of the iceberg … this kind of “collateral damage” will reach myriad non-white communities. It’s so cruel and disgusting.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Sadly, he was confirmed by JD Vance’s tie breaking vote. The DOD will morph into a misogynistic and utterly unhinged version of a Christian Nationalist Taliban with his leadership … not to mention the blatant alcoholism. It’s a very dark day. 💔

Leviticus 19:33:
"When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself.”
So grateful to Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for actually understanding the Bible. 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼

Nothin’ but blue skies … 🎵❤️

@nrumbel.bsky.social Hi Nancy!! 💜💕💜

I have a dream. Please join me in honoring Martin Luther King Jr. today.

I appreciate your concern about appropriate placement of the players and the Saraswati murti … hoping with my very limited studio space to find better angles in the future. There may be a side angle that allows for better positioning moving forward. 🙏🏼

Our ensemble included Steve as the primary melodic soloist on our fall tour, which is why he was featured here, not because we wanted to create any confusion about Krishna and his flute.

Thanks for writing to me, and I appreciate your input… We had a bit of a quandary with the video shoot because of space limitations and being able to include the Grammy-winning bamboo player Steve Gorn in our offering. I’m hoping to use a green screen in future videos. 🙏🏼

And, as another way to try to introduce myself here, these are two of my favorite photographic subjects: my beloved dog Santosha (whose name means “contentment”) and my breathtakingly beautiful Pacific Northwest rainforest home. 🌲💜🐶

As I begin to explore Bluesky, I thought that sharing the genius of the two guiding lights of my musical life, Ali Akbar Khan and Zakir Hussain, would be a good starting point. Here they are diving into “sangat,” where they improvise simultaneously with playful brilliance. Incredible! 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

@taosannapurna.bsky.social Hello!! Thanks for sharing your Bluesky info. Looking forward to exploring the platform with you! 🙏🏼💜

Right there with you!

Bless you!! 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
