I’m Antifa
You’re Antifa
He’s Antifa
She’s Antifa
Wouldn’t you like to be Antifa too?

He came home for hospice. It was a Wednesday, the second week of July. We thought we had a few weeks. He was hoping to catch the baseball All-Star game.

Once he got home it all happened so fast.

“Put on what you want. I’m going to try and rest.”

He had been back and forth between hospital-nursing home-hospital for a few months. Couldn’t get an infection under control. The last trip to the hospital they said he’d have to go back to the nursing home for extended care and he said no way - I’m not going back. I’ve had a good life.

Antifa is a colloquial abbreviation for Anti-Fascist. It’s not an actual organization.

Trump is designating “Antifa” as a terrorist organization.

So in Trump’s view, to be anti-fascist is to be a terrorist.

Ergo, Trump and his administration are fascist.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Rep. Crockett is right.

We must hold Republicans accountable for gerrymandering and silencing the voices of people of color.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

Game changer. Don’t need to wait around preheating an oven to make late night sneaky taquitos. Also makes take-out fried food so much better when you get it home. Pop it in an air fryer for 5 minutes and *chef’s kiss*

Did they at least do the mandatory wield it like a light saber and make the humming whoosh whoosh sounds before he lost it 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a native, I don’t get out of bed for any earthquake unless it’s over a 5.0 🤷🏻‍♀️

Since it's playing over and over in my Gen X head...

Superman was an immigrant, too!

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

We’ve been in touch with local law enforcement in LA. They have the resources they need to meet the moment, and we stand ready to assist should the need arise.
 
There is no emergency and the President’s order calling in the National Guard is unnecessary and counterproductive.

Might as well watch Mountainhead tonight.

In a better world, Trump would be getting pretty nervous about having a parade filled with armed men and women sworn to protect the Constitution…

While they're hosting a Made for Punditry TV special today, millions of Americans are on the precipice of losing their health insurance or specific coverage (including GAC, repro care, HIV care) because of their intentionally inhumane, cruel greed.

Their spat is about egos, not your health care.

And that’s why it worked.

Kinda obsessed with this

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is!

Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me?

Enter the garden.

Hey, it’s the end of the world as we know it but I feel fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

It suddenly got very dusty in here…

And now I can’t unsee it.

The cover page for a discussion paper called "Questions, Answers, and Some Cautionary Updates Regarding the 3.5% Rule" by Erica Chenoweth. In the image, peaceful protesters can be seen in front of the US Capitol building.

Lately I've seen many references to the 3.5% rule. A few years ago I pulled together this Q&A on potential uses and misuses of this statistic. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

It’s one supply chain, Michael. How long could it take to recreate? 2-3 months?

Signal Boost. A light in these dark times.

Happy happy, fellow Crone/Hag ❤️
