Due to unfortunate circumstances I have an extra ticket to tonight's concert. Indigo Girls + Melissa Etheridge at BankNH pavilion. I'm driving up from Somerville at around 2:30 (a little over an hour from now)

Who wants to come with?

Fuck around and find out. Unfortunately, they killed many innocent people in the process.

We’re back in the age of McCarthyism — but instead of the Red Scare, it’s the *DEI-scare*

Health and Human Services (HHS) just blasted out an alarming agency-wide email:

They want us to report on each other.
(Pretty sure that’s called “snitching.”)

Let me tell you about my cat...
I am repeatedly surprised by how much room a 26 lb toddler can take up on a bed.

I mean, I can't be the only one who saw this pattern months ago already.
If I’m a foreign government right now—the one lesson that I’ve learned at this point is that there is no durable agreement to be made with this administration.

Any assurance, policy, or deal will be arbitrarily annulled by a random 3 am post. No point in expending energy negotiating with this.

Motorcyclists know and so do a few others, but riders often wave to each other.
Brotherhood
What most Cagers don’t know is that the motorcyclist who just passed and waved would also stop if you were on the side of the road in trouble. Offering up any assistance they could. ✊ I know, I’m that guy

I really hope that I got l the asswipe smoking right under the sign "no smoking within 50 ft of entrance" fired. "I'm not moving, I work here". Well, I can help with that....

The orange menace loves direct control and so it is very likely he will try to invoke the Insurrection Act. This empowers the president, with few legal limitations, to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops inside the country. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/04/what...
What to do if the Insurrection Act is invoked
With the Insurrection Act looming, now is the time to learn how it might unfold and the strategic ways to respond.

If you live in Wisconsin or in the 6th congressional district of Florida you’ll have a chance to do something the rest of us only dream about doing...

Hmm. I should probably quote post more and reply less.

Hey, sewing friends that are local - I know it's late notice, but I am going to work this weekend on sewing sound drapes for one of my volunteer hats. I would love extra hands! We have 2 industrial strength sewing machines and a pile of curtains. 2-3 more people would be ideal.

We now live in a dictatorship. Plainclothes ICE traitors can walk up to anyone anywhere in the us, arrest them and whisk them away. Just a few blocks away from where I live. They arrested her and against judges' orders moved her to the other side of the country.
