NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down. ~ Diane di Prima, American poet, artist, prose writer, and teacher. August 6, 1934 – October 25, 2020. Revolutionary Letter #8. #Resist #Contribute #Warrior litkicks.com/Revolutionar...

All the time, everywhere. Yet their abused and neglected constituents keep voting GOP back into power, over and over again, decades on end.

That's been the Republican way since I can remember.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

They cried about Soros while being showered with Koch money

In case facts still matter

How's your Monday going. 🎬

Oh wow! I was not expecting to ever see Bea Arthur looking like Zizi Jeanmaire.

"May I be frank?" "Is that your name?" "No, my name is Godfrey" "Alright, be frank" Celebrating the sublime Jean Dixon and her wonderful deadpan delivery, who died today in 1981. With William Powell in My Man Godfrey (1936). 🎬

During the FOTUS ‪trump‬ administration with regards to ICE, the answer is yes. If your body instinctively and reflexively moves to protect itself or nearby loved ones, that’s proof of aggression against federal agents. Therefore they are justified to use any torture or lethal methods on you. USA 🇺🇸

So if masked men jump out of an unmarked car, you're not supposed to fight back?

What if he was combative? He was jumped by masked strangers.

Yup.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Nice new chapter waiting for young soccer star Nevada. Hoping things work out for him. ⚽️🥅

They're going to be telling his story at the World Cup and Olympics someday.

“The incident caught the attention of Eddie Johnson, a former professional soccer player. Nevada will be joining Johnson’s Orlando-based youth soccer training program in January,…” I hope Nevada shines under a different program.

No, it's Trump's fault. A greedy, self-serving corrupt liar who expects people who are struggling to put food on the table to cheer the fact that he is profiting by billions.

Wow, trump really is a stable genius. Figured out all by himself that ruining people’s country, looting them blind while on an unrelenting crime spree means Americans tend to vote against you. No matter how much of SCOTUS, Congress and the Justice Department are in his pocket.

Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.

With all due respect...he's 3 years old. Somewhere between 36-47 months of life on this earth. Guessing he learned how to play from his dad in the backyard. How the hell would you expect him to know these "rules". We have a lot of adults who barely have #objectpermanence right now.

This part broke my heart…

This is so disgraceful. Meritocracy my ass.

It means constructing an artfully worded excuse to cover their asses

My eyes tear up even thinking about this story. 🥺 Once upon a time, when a young athlete encountered another player who was better at a sport than they were, they’d use that experience as motivation to work hard to get better. Guess those days are past us.

I can’t even bear to read it, my heart can’t take it

This post should say a “disturbance between league officials and the parents of a player.” This is clarified in the story

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Hey def a choice to write up "The President is credibly accused of a new rape" as "Dems call for special counsel to scrutinize ties" bsky.app/profile/ryan...

A most admirable vision! While governments were occupied with dividing the Earth, a television program dared imagine mankind united among the stars. The greatest invention is not a vessel capable of reaching distant worlds, but a civilization wise enough to travel together.

GOP Rep. Randy Fine says he's been open to deporting Melania Trump and Elon Musk if it turns out they lied on their paperwork

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too. Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course. – George

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

But, but, but DEI! Theys taking all the jobs they’re not qualified for, dontcha know.

The revealing part is that they treat trans people as votes to be secured, not constituents whose safety is a condition of democratic participation. “Keep us alive” is not a demand for special treatment; it’s the baseline.

Actually astronomers expressed concerns about #lightpollution by the late 19th c, but most other scientific fields did not discuss the issue in a sustained fashion until the 1970s or later. #TransformingNight 🌌💡🌃🛰

A true story from Brazil for those who choose to wait until Election Day to drop their ballot and vote. 🗳️ Didn’t even have to call in anonymous bomb threats to polling places like goes in here in the USA. 💣💥🇺🇸 Not perfect but early voting can be your friend.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.
