They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds-anon. 77 yo retired NJ teacher dedicated to advancing social justice. Daughter of Italian immigrants. Ex racing Greyhounds, cooking, gardening, locating eyeglasses bring me immense joy.

They will honor him by always making sure they have at least one shitty, virulent homophobe on the roster.

Instead of Bernie Moreno creepily following us to the cars we use to get to work in the Capitol and writing down their VIN numbers, I'd suggest he use his time in more productive ways โ€ฆ

Zohran Mamdani quoting Mario Cuomo in his acceptance speech is nasty work and I love it. The Sicilian in me bows to his killer instinct.

Finally! Never again will I be offended when someone claims that
I look/act like an ass... unless, of course, they say I'm a cute little ass.

Itโ€™s pretty fucking hard to make sense of us giving $40 billion to Argentinaโ€™s federal government when our federal workers are standing in fucking breadlines here at home.

What happened to all the art, furniture and priceless historical treasures that were in the East Wing?

Did Trump just give it away to his buddies? Is it at Mar-a-Lago? Did Jared and Ivana just help themselves to it?

No one knows

How little we know of that which surrounds us. Thanks for this glimpse.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

BREAKING: This is in Trump's back yard. Washington DC No Kings Day Protest. This is just the start of the day.

It is absolutely unbelievable how many people are turning out for this. I love how everyone is staying peaceful. It's exactly what Trump doesn't want.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the powerโ€ฆ

Today, veterans, public servants, and other patriots who love America will gather to show their love for democracy.

You can find here a No Kings rally near you:

Legendary nightclub Limelight is vacant again, and I think we should all raise money to buy it and turn it into a 24/7 experimental theatre art collective
