@GatekeepKen @msnbc @NYT MSM is in the pocket for whoever is pushing Trumpie down our throats. I call it the "Hillary" treatment! They have LOST all credibility. Trust your own common sense and instincts. Trumpie & cronies have shown you who they are, LISTEN to their own words, look at his past actions and VOTE for sanity, not hype!

In some ways, it looks like something from a Sci-Fi movie, except that, rather than being dystopian, it is a rugged, wild landscape of silence, shadows and light, rich color, and timeless beauty.

To live in a place like this would be challenging, but to visit it, to even know that it exists, is a privilege.

It is, indeed, as if the gods lived here.

@Melissabeartrix the build quality of Chinese brand EVs is excellent, and they are way cheaper

Under the weight of all this crushing Fascism, I want to remind everyone that I’m a badly underfunded teacher in a badly underfunded alternative school in the poorest city in New England. I could use your support to continue helping kids prepare for this fucking awful world that is being dropped on them.

Here’s a couple of my students building a hot air balloon together. The one holding it just graduated and is headed to college!

Pres Biden has a record of caring & providing for veterans, #TFG eviscerated their care & plans to make steep cuts in funding:

"Here are additional cuts Republicans are proposing under The 2025 Project produced by The Heritage Foundation:

-Ending disability compensation for veterans
-Ending enrollment in VA medical care for some veterans
-Placing a 10 year limit on disability claims for veterans"

Going to try to grow #ginger again. I did it before, in Alameda CA, but when I try here in SoCal, it always fail. I think it's too hot and dry.

Just found this video, which I'm hoping will help guide me to success. Will start it in a pot to be on the safe side this time.

My ginger has large shoots though no roots yet. It's been in a paper bag. Hopefully, once potted with lots of moist mulch, it will sprouts some roots as well.

Pretty goddamn wild for the Supreme Court to give the president the powers of a king just three days before July Fourth.

My fellow citizens: It is all the more critical that we unite behind Joe Biden and elect a Democratic Senate and House to, I hope, reform the Court but mostly to prevent an immune king--in Sotomayor's word--from gaining power. Quit the carping. Ignore The New York Times. Get to work.

In case you’re curious about my parents, here’s one of the many similar things hanging in their house:

On a serious note, if you’re not scared shitless, then please understand that you don’t understand the situation you’re in.

Just spitballing here, but probably the best way to defend against the worst Presidential “official acts” hypotheticals resulting from the Supreme Court’s immunity decision is not to elect a convicted felon to be President.

@ScottSoCal Remember it says everything about him, and absolutely nothing about you.

#Daddy died a #MAGA. He was never #hateful, until he was. He was always #caring, until he wasn’t. It made no sense.

His #lastwords were #apologies for how his #Trumpism #hurt our #family. Daddy died in August of 2017.

@ScottSoCal so true. It's hard to not feel like we're going back to the dark ages.
