"Voters, please ask detailed and specific questions of your candidates, like “Do you support challenging or removing books from schools or libraries?” or “Do you support a diverse selection of library books in classrooms and schools?” Campaign literature makes all candidates appear to be moderate. It’s essential to look beyond the platitudes of glossy campaign mailers for the truth of what atmosphere a candidate would bring to our schools. A supportive, inclusive and welcoming one? Or one that stifles free speech and freedom of thought?"

Half a block away from the #LaborDay rally at Court & Main in Doylestown, PA, you'll find the mosaic wall in the Star Garden.

Solid turnout for today's #LaborDay rally in Doylestown, PA (Bucks County), powerful speakers and music. Impressive haul in the collection of food, personal care, and household items for locals in need, too! #WorkersOverBillionaires #DoylestownActionLeague @50501movement.bsky.social
Photo of community members protesting at Court & Main Streets in Doylestown, many holding signs, two American flags flying in the breeze. (Lots of drivers going by, honking in support!) A woman bent over lots of bags, organizing food and other items donated by rally-goers to give to community members in need. Sign reads "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTTION TO THIS MATTER" Wider shot of the intersection of Court & Main Streets in Doylestown. Protesters line streets with higher concentration of people in front of the courtyard of the old courthouse and in the intersection where the Civil War monument is located.

"How wonderful if they stopped hating us, if they let us go about our business like we used to.
How wonderful if we didn't have to go to another country...

A film for 1940...
a film for 2025.
Was glad of the opportunity to see Chaplin's THE GREAT DICTATOR on the big screen with an audience last night. 👍👍
Truly surreal to hear some of the dialogue in this era of authoritarianism.
P.S. Support local, independent movie theaters! 🍿
Photo of title card on movie screen: "THE GREAT DICTATOR" Photo of text on the movie screen: "WRITTEN & DIRECTED BY CHARLES CHAPLIN" List of the cast. Not so subtle naming of characters including "Garbitsch," the Secretary of the interior/Minister of Propaganda Photo of text on movie screen: "This is a story of a period between two World Wars -- an interim in which insanity cut loose. Liberty took a nose dive and Humanity was kicked around somewhat"

"A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked and justice is reserved for a select few. Ignoring these cries and failing to respond to this movement is simply not an option — for peace cannot exist where justice is not served."

A touching sight, #NoKings event in Philadelphia (6/14/25).
An older couple walking slowly, hand-in-hand, part of the throng of protestors headed down Ben Franklin Pkwy from Love Park to Art Museum in the rain. Inspiring to witness their march against authoritarianism - but wish they didnt have to.
Her sign text: "CORONATION OR IMPEACHMENT? 2026 MIDTERMS WILL DECIDE BE SURE TO VOTE!!! NO KINGS! NO TRUMP!" His sign text: "Great Leaders celebrate their country's achievements Lesser types dream of becoming a Napoleon But a bone spur kept him out of the military (and Vietnam) so a military birthday parade will have to do."

If only.
"It may be too scary to contemplate (and too daring for captive, timorous corporate media to recognize) that Trump is nuts and that his advisers prove that the fish rots from the head. But the evidence is all around us. The Trump regime’s endemic nuttery should provoke fearless, aggressive reporting to convey the enormity of the problem."
