Show me a picture from your phone that has your energy. Not a selfie.

This is insane and definitely a must-read. “The new contract says ARC provides the government with “5 billion ticketing records for searching capabilities.” WTAF?

Family trauma survivors (👋) know the reality of not making excuses/fawning for dead family members who caused the trauma. If I’m not excusing the toxic behavior of a family member, I damn sure won’t do the same for one I don’t know personally that has publicly professed hatred toward those I love.

Just looked it up. Wow. Apparently it derives from the way they sing from dawn til dusk, keeping watch. I like that.

"The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy everything." -Orwell, "1984"

Haven’t! Following now. 😊

Nice. Hey cousin!

Perhaps this SM "experiment" has run its course and involution is the way. Or the culture has just become much more tolerant/accepting of tyrants and sociopaths. 😂

Weird question, but are we related? 🤔 I don't often see my surname.

Maybe my GenX is showing, but I miss online message boards. I think Reddit is closest to it, though it's highly problematic. Perhaps we're getting to that place where SM isn't where it's at. Data collection, ads, data breaches, third-party parasites... not to mention censorship and gatekeeping.

The next place is around the campfire. Invites are limited to those with empathy, critical thinking, and viable solutions. You're def. on the list.

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A guy looks in on a lady who's crying and says, "Hey, is everything okay?" She replies, "It's just... the Bone Farmer... he died." Panel 2: He: "He was that thing that would break into people's homes and steal their skeletons while they slept, right?" She: "So sad." Panel 3: They are looking at a picture of what I would describe as an interdimensional monster with way too many eyes and teeth. And a bowtie. She: "I mean obviously: IDEOLOGICALLY I didn't agree with him. With regards to skeleton ownership. But his smart li'l bowtie!" He: "You have to admire his tenacity for a cause he BELIEVED IN!" Panel 4: A man in a gigantic glass jar whose body appears to be pretty much just a shapeless lump resting on the bottom of it, obviously missing a skeleton: "Gonna have to disagree with you folks here." The first guy: "Too SOON, Geoff!"

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

Thank you for this. 🙏

Support for Israel used to be the overwhelmingly dominant opinion in the western world. Luckily that's changing, but the fact that this was the case until Israel exposed itself shows you really can't just go along with majority opinion on any issue. You need to think for yourself.

Yes, yes, yes to this. 🙏

WHY DO PEOPLE SUPPORT THESE STOOGES?

On Mescalero Apache Tribe letterhead: MESCALERO Apache Tribe P.O. Box 227 108 Central Avenue Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 TRIBE Office: (575) 464-4494 Fax: (575) 464-9220 STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT THORA WALSH-PADILLA ON IMMIGRATION INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRIBAL MEMBER As of 3:45 PM this afternoon, the Tribe verified only a single incident where an ICE January 23, 2025 Mescalero, NM Last night and throughout the day today, I received multiple calls from concerned Mescalero Apache Tribal Members in relation to rumors of incidents involving Tribal Members and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. agent questioned a Tribal Member in a public place in Ruidoso. This incident occurred yesterday. ICE agents began questioning a family standing in line in front of the Tribal member. The family was escorted outside. Then, an ICE agent still inside the public place approached the Tribal Member in Spanish. The Tribal Member responded by stating the Tribal Member spoke English. The ICE agent asked the Tribal Member for a passport. The Tribal Member presented a picture of a New Mexico Driver's License and a Tribal identification card. The ICE agent did not continue questions at this point and exited. While this is the only incident we have been able to verify. Tribal leadership is actively working with the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to ensure that the rights of Tribal Members are protected. To be safe, be aware of your surroundings, let family members/friends know where you are, and keep identification with you at all times. If possible, then carry multiple forms of identification (driver's license, state-issued identification card, Tribal identification card, Certificate of Indian Blood, etc.). Thora Walsh-Padilla President

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.

Our dying media describes ethic cleansing as a “remarkable proposal”. They wanted Trump to be elected and have no shame to sanewash what comes after

I was shooting a film in C-ville in 2005 and recall the living wage campaign at UVA and how that impacted me for life. I learned so much from that back then, it opened my eyes, so if you were there then, thanks! If not, thanks anyway!

These two BROUGHT IT tonight in Santa Fe! Both had a part in inspiring me to get on stage and wear my crazy childhood like a clown suit way back when and I’m grateful. Needed the hearty laughs tonight, fellas. Thank you! 🙏🙌 ❤️ @howiemandel.bsky.social and no bluesky, Arsenio?!

Was hoping to see a headline along the lines of “panic amongst shareholders” type of thing but alas, much too hopeful, once again. 🙃

Beauty! 😍 And to answer to your question…too much tea or coffee, perhaps?! 😂 (Would most definitely be the case for me.)

Ok so everywhere but where it mattered, as usual.

People don't believe Democrat campaign promises because they basically never become real, even when they hold all the cards. It's always someone else's fault, hands are tied, so sorry, vote harder next time!

If you can't see why this fails . . .

“Once the person who is bound realizes that they can choose to no longer submit, that they can choose to be the karmic force they so desperately want to see in the world, all bets are off. The game is over. The truth wins and the lies wither away into nothing.” Beautiful. 🥰

Anyone have any stats or hear anything on the Meta boycott? Can’t tell if I’m the only one doing it or if it’s being supressed. Just a curious little 🐝….

If you're curious where they got the idea from: Wells Fargo has managed to unionize at some locations last year.

Unionizing fucking works.
