Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Just to be crystal clear here, Trump axing DEI programs is not about merit-based hiring, it’s an extension of white supremacy dogma and a page from the Project 2025 handbook.

@godpod.bsky.social Can I suggest this as the intro to new holy book?
Dear Modern Humans,
You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not.
Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts.
It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

And 4 years of climate action reversal and climate crisis denial ahead. Human rights are inherently tied to environmental justice. To me, this is our first duty.

Shock fatigue is real. We know what he is, we know what to expect. Acceptance is the first blah blah blah.
We keep trying to measure him against former norms, leaders and politicians, and he is none of those. I think we would do better to give up being shocked by anything he says or does. He is a treacherously amoral, power-hungry and cruel egomaniac/con man. Expect him to speak and act accordingly.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

I became aware of Children of the Night, a nonprofit started 46 years ago to rescue children and teenagers from child trafficking and force prostitution, from a documentary about California serial killers. They do great work. Check them out and maybe donate to help their work.

@bsky.app I love it here. But I just spent way too long blocking the same 32 year old, long black haired woman with free onlyfans. A real waste, especially since I’m gay af. Can we come up with a faster way to block junk profiles? Please?

Most of us would be thanking the deities for a sentence this merciful against 34 felonies.
Dear Judge Merchan,
I believe it would be extremely reasonable of you to sentence Donald Trump to four years and two months of home confinement at Mar-a-Lago with a gag order and a travel ban.
Effective immediately.
Thank you.

(Not my) President-elect tRump will be sentenced for his 34 felony counts of falsifying business records 11 days prior to taking office.
Nothing at all crazy about that, right? (WTLF??)

Here’s a truth bomb.
There are NO primary schools in the United States teaching children CRT.
There is however millions of parents in the United States teaching children that felonies and sexual assault are absolutely OK.
