I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I finished my Love Story top (Scéal Grá by Ailbíona McLochlainn) and wore it to work. It’s beautiful.

Maybe it’s only viewable for Cafe Insiders? I’m not sure.

Stand up and fight

Grief note: I’m reading books and watching lectures that explore grief in everyday life.
Telling our trauma story is a positive part of the process of integrating good grief into our lives going forward.
That’s comforting to know.
I am listening and appreciate those who listen to me.

All I ask is that you watch and listen for 2 mins.

Thanks. I didn’t check that before I blocked them.

Likely a new bot.
I’ve blocked them.

To be supportive and nurture your relationships, this is insightful advice.
Thank you @purelypear for the reminder. 🫶✨

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

He committed fraud against the United States to build his “hospital company”.
So there’s that.

I read the whole order.
It is clear and powerful.
Pg 31 of 32:
“Defendants have made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation.”

YouTube video by The Tony Michaels Podcast It's all of us against the wealthy, not Left vs Right!!!

Yes, it's a YT reel, and it's an important message from the kind of business owner we need more of in the US (and around the world).

Speak up for those being targeted.
Fight this brutal authoritarianism.

Knitted ruffles. I like them.

Julian Sanchez @normative.bsky.social One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

We are in this mess because Donald Trump is a hateful bigot, narcissist and sadist who can’t stand the fact that most people can’t stand him so he needs to mete out retribution to punish all those who hate him for who and what he is. That…and millions who cheer on his hateful ways. What a world.

I knew I followed you for a good reason.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Starting today if I press the heart button to like something, I’m sharing it.

If Kristi Noem is so upset about being denied access to a bathroom, she should address oversight being denied access to ICE facilities. One seems a little more important than the other.

Rules only apply for one Party.
Over and over again.

I’ve really tried to enjoy this place but I remain invisible.

I must be doing it wrong. That’s the only answer. I’m the problem… just like my mother and the nuns said.

Well, they yelled as they hung out smoking near my oubliette.

I hear (and see) you. It’s not you.
For me, my invisibility online here reminds me that I need to touch grass and actively maintain my existing relationships both in person and online.
I will not go back to the oligarch run platforms.
I guess I’m satisfied with my own shouting into the void here.

People needing medical care deserve care.
That cross should be burning her skin by now.

When any person who has no insurance goes to the emergency room taxpayers pay for it.

I'd rather have my money go to help save people's lives than to use it to bail out corporations and Argentina.

I'm against the idea of burning the US Flag because it represents all of us, not just one party. But I defended our values overseas and those values include people having the right to burn the US Flag. Even if I don't agree, I will always support that right. This "order" is unconstitutional.
