🧵 Rhyme of the Upset Kitty

A shopper sat upon a bench,
She cannot choose but hear;
And so began a tale of woe,
An account of kitty’s fear.

“I came with human, he and I,
To shop for cat supplies,
A store for all pets we were told,
And lo were we surprised.

This quote is from the White Rose pamphlet #3. The White Rose was a non-violent anti-Nazi movement in Munich. The authors were later arrested and executed for distributing pamphlets.

Has a familiar ring, doesn't it?

A 🧵re protective masks for ICE protesters (in Minneapolis MN and elsewhere). I am not a scientist, but my BF has a PhD in inorganic chemistry and provided this info to me so I could provide it to you. Please share and re-post it widely. It may save someone, esp. from green gas ICE is using (1/x)

Every one in every state needs to check and recheck that they are on the voter rolls of their state up to election date and then recheck again.

"Melania" will soon take its place alongside such greats as "Birth of a Nation" and "Triumph of the Will".

After Don Lemon and other journalists' arrests, the NYT is suddenly concerned about the face-eating leopards they've been feeding for years. The moment the leopards look elsewhere, the NYT will revert to sane-washing the insane. It's an old pattern: a mea culpa editorial, then business as usual.

Q: What's the difference between "Melania" the movie, and Bigfoot?

A: More people claim to have seen Bigfoot.

Wonder why that is.

For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM

Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).

It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Well crap! Georgia governor Brian Kemp's suppress-the-vote act is upheld on a technicality. "No standing" my ass. Funny how the courts invent theoretical standing when it's a Republican issue, and find no standing when it isn't.

Bovino should be charged as an accessory to murder after the fact.
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
