I’m a retired Gramma who has always voted blue. Glad to find Bluesky. Please NO DMs. I DO NOT respond. I’m not going to send you money and I’m not interested in provocative pics! I am a grumpy but kind old lady! Animal lover.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

I watched video from a European news outlet that said social media usage peaked in 2022 and has been trending down since.

Gave me a little optimism.

Then the last 30 seconds said "except in North America, where social media is at all-time highs".

Bleh. We're cooked.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. No jokes. No shade. No schadenfreude. The reason you never see ICE arresting Proud Boys and Oath Keepers is the same reason you never see Keanu Reeves hanging out with John Wick and Neo.

They are creating despair to get you to submit so they can dominate you. Total domination is the goal and violence from ICE and cutting necessary programs are all part of this goal.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

FORCE THEM OUT!
This morning, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”
“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids”

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
