The Mayor grabbed a tom-tom.
He started to smack it.
And all over Who-ville, they whooped up a racket.
They rattled tin kettles!
They beat on brass pans,
On garbage pail tops and old cranberry cans!
They blew on bazookas and blasted great toots
On clarinets, oom-pahs, and boom-pahs, and flutes!

In spite of this, to oppression, plundering and abandonment, we respond with life. Neither floods nor plagues, famines nor cataclysms, nor even the eternal wars of century upon century, have been able to subdue the persistent advantage of life over death.

Homes and possessions ransacked and destroyed while every resident, including unclothed children, forcibly pulled from their homes, zip-tied and thrown into vans. This is war on American citizens by our own gov't.

Right and left need to wake up to the fact that the real war is billionaires vs everyone else. It's a class war in which the strategy is to perpetuate the myth that left and right are opposite and opposing sides. We have differences, yes. But the obscenely rich and powerful are united against us all

Jane Goodall, the influential primatologist who changed how people see chimpanzees and themselves, died Wednesday at the age of 91.

She died of natural causes while she was in California on a speaking tour, the Jane Goodall Institute said in a statement on social media.

Reading this was the brightest part of my day yesterday. Leonard Peltier is (mostly) free and in awe of stuff we all take for granted now. He's got lots of fight left but really just wants to paint and talk story. 🌻💚🌻

‘We’re In Danger’: Leonard Peltier Has A Warning About Trump
In a sit-down interview, the Indigenous rights activist reflects on his nearly 50 years in prison, why he thinks Biden bucked the FBI to free him, and how tribes are “in danger” under Trump.

I didn't watch the livestream--it's better filtered through late night comedy--but Pete Kegsbreath and Captain Cankleroo really outdid themselves in front of a very silent audience in Quantico. What a shit show.

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

Religion is their opium
MAGA Christianity doesn't worship Christ. It is a cult of grievance, retribution, and a desire for power and money.

If you love what 47 is doing and say you're a Christian, it's a good time to crack open your Bible and read Matt 25:31-46

Sean Penn's political opinions are irrelevant and part of the problem.
Racism. Is. Never. A. Valid. Opinion.

Transphobia. Is. Never. A. Valid. Opinion.

Minimising. The. Violent. Deaths. Of. Children. Is. Never. A. Valid. Opinion.

Promoting. Genocide. Is. Never. A. Valid. Opinion.

We don't need another Kirk. We need white cishet people like Sean Penn to shut up.

At this point the mess that is MAGA and their Orange Menace is white noise compared to what the elite techbros have set in motion. It's not coming soon...it's already arrived. See Palantir's outsize role in federal data systems.
Larry Ellison can suck my
Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

Release the Epstein Files
@knittingcultlady.bsky.social is one of my favorite creators, here’s just one example of her work

Her book, Uncultured was as fantastic, as it was heartbreaking

I highly recommend checking out her content, and supporting her work

Today I unbaptized the spirit of the newly departed Mormon prophet/profit, seer, and revelator true, into atheism.

Please respect my choice. It is my religious freedom.

Language shapes reality
Hey, let’s stop saying “we might not have an election in 2028” and start saying, “If Trump thinks we’re not having an election in 2028, then he’s mistaken about how this works.”

1/ Republicans don’t want us calling them Nazis or fascists because the label is starting to stick. The more they trample the Constitution, the more accurately the label fits. They are not defending democracy. They are dismantling it, piece by piece, right in front of us. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
