Spoonie,🌈, pro-democracy.
Reached the point where I no longer fantasize about being healthy, I now fantasize about being sick with something that doctors actually recognize and for which there are approved, available treatments.

I think it's gonna be a solid 100-200 years before another country even considers trusting the US again.

Also, I may have the bad luck to be stuck on the batshit crazy side of the border, but I was raised on Raffi and Fred Penner and I fully support 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦.

No desire to celebrate America's 250th. Instead I'll just watch things that remind me of what our county actually looks like and the ideals we should be striving for. Starting with:

-Mayor Mamdani's speech yesterday
-Bad Bunny's halftime show
-Mr. Rogers addressing Congress.

What would you add?

Recreating a dead person's voice, allowing you to make them "say" whatever YOU want, after their ability to speak for themselves has been removed in the most permanent way possible. A bone-chilling lack of consent and autonomy for the deceased. 1/2

Happy May Day!!! I'm unable to work, so I can't walk out. Physically unable to protest, so I can't march. But by God I can withhold my dollar and refuse to buy a single thing all day.

Physically unable to protest, but I wholeheartedly support everyone who is able to get out and stand up against this miserable administration's endless illegal actions and against the rise of authoritarianism.

The '90s Thomas Crown Affair is such an unattainable fantasy. Imagine a world where real life billionaires do essentially harmless art heists and romance adult, consenting women on an island that isn't private.

"...we are all responsible for what happens in our community."
This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Absolutely worth reading judge's order:

"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."
I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

I'm physically unable to protest and I'm no longer able to work, but I can damn well withhold my dollar today and not buy a single thing.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Read every word.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The camera person who keeps making sure the Virginia state seal is in frame for Governor Elect Spanberger's historic speech deserves a raise.

Hell yeah, sic semper tyrannis!!

Here's a disturbing video of ICE agents crashing an SUV into a car, starting to drive away, then coming back and violently arresting the female driver. We haven't seen any news coverage of this case, but @gofundme.com told us, "This fundraiser is verified."

If Biden had given a speech even half as batshit unhinged in any forum, let alone at the UN, every republican would have been screaming for the 25th amendment.

Sitting outside, sipping hot tea, and basking in a cool breeze while watching #overthegardenwall as early autumn leaves dance about your feet is pretty nice. I recommend it.

We have now reached the "democratic representative being held against her will on the Texas house floor because all the doors are locked and DPS refuses to let her leave" level of fascism.

Horrifying. This is horrifying.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
