Determined to fight MAGA/fascism in every way I can, in hopes that I live to see the US become a place where EVERYONE has rights, respect, and opportunity. I find solace in books, creativity, computer games, historical research, and small things of beauty.

For anyone curious about my Bluesky name: As I'd originally intended to use Bsky mainly for my genealogy/history research, I chose a name that was an homage to the title of a poem written by one of my great-great-grandfathers, Harlan Ashley Pierce. Unfortunately, then politics took over the world.

Dozens of my ancestors settled Plymouth Plantation. Also there? Huguenots, Black men, LGBTQ folks, the non-religious... A Muslim lived in New York before Christian Englishmen did. Spanish lived in the west a century before the Mayflower. US history=diversity=strength. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ28...

People who don't get that no one in the Bible was white are (sorry to break this to them but) hugely, willfully ignorant of both actual history and reality. This woman knows what she's talking about when it comes to both AND the Bible and is happy to teach you. youtube.com/shorts/RTFUg...

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

Not sure I understand why the Trump administration cares about Christians in Nigeria and not Christians in Ukraine

The excuse Moscow Mitch used when he voted NO for the SECOND TIME was that the term had expired so the issue was moot.

we fired a dozen precious tomahawks at a 200-total-personnel militia with tangential ISIS ties far away from the bulk of the ISIS/BH threat in Nigeria (a friendly government with its own large and capable military) and it sounds like we didn't even hit them.

Sadly, understanding this is way too much logic to expect for anyone dumb enough to be a Trumpster.

His real agenda has always been obvious, no matter what. It's about him. Just him. He's a massive black hole of endless wanting, consuming everything and demanding more.
"Donald Trump calls himself the “Peace President.” But this week, as he outlined his plans to capture Greenland and hijack Venezuelan oil, his real agenda became obvious. It’s not peace. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft."

When folks keep choosing the man of zero substance--one that decades of records *show* to be a corrupt, lying, cheating, racist, failure--rather than women & men w/ long histories of service, character, decency, & discipline...you get, as they say, the gov't you deserve.
Sucks for the rest of us.

Perhaps the guy who doubled his net worth by raking in billions via crypto dinners could put up some of his own cash instead of scamming your grandparents out of $2,500 during the holidays.

Pete Hegseth says the Defense Department “does not do climate change crap.”

But a new report suggests that the Pentagon is engaging with the issue in one serious way: Stockpiling dozens of critical minerals, it is threatening the energy transition by hoarding valuable resources.

Cobalt, lithium, and other minerals are being stockpiled at the expense of climate action, a new report warns.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

If the POTUS being credibly accused of being part of the biggest sex trafficking scandal in our history don't bother them, I can't think of much that would. His base only cares about two things, making money for his rich donors, and making life miserable for the most vulnerable in our society.
The fact that Republicans inspite of Trumps insanity have not tried to impeach an obvious dictator wannabe shows you that they are either compromised or paid off with no insight into the horror they're unleashing.

A few days ago, I wrote up some thoughts on generative AI and the work of historians: “At best, we’re talking about software that’s very good at making sentences seem sentence-shaped.”
