Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Israel has warned families to NOT offer refuge to a targeted ethnic group that the state of Israel wants to cleanse from their lands. This is the world we now live in. #DystopianReality #wtf #Lebanon

The new "cicada" variant is not any more severe than other types of COVID - but it's able to infect people despite having been vaccinated. www.wypr.org/wypr-news/20...

I've stopped believing Republicans sold their souls to the devil. At this point, I'm pretty convinced that they are all being blackmailed and threatened with death unless they do the oligarch's bidding. How do they even sleep at night?

Door dash grocery order question. Unbeknownst to me, someone in my home used DD for the 1st time ever yesterday. DD tacked on a $12 delivery fee. I'm assuming a tip was supposed to be given. If so, how much do you tip for a DD grocery order? More importantly, can you give a tip a day later? TIA.

Fund food, not bombs #YouShouldCare #IranWar

Afroman is the hero Americans need right now, to remind us the Constitution is not enrirely dead and we, the people, can still win if we decide to fight back against tyranny.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Well, well, well, look at that: Governments can hold powerful people accountable. #EpsteinFiles www.npr.org/2026/02/19/n...

Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger thinks this woman deserves to be a pet owner again AND be allowed to sell the animals she tortured so she can recoup $$ she spent on their "care". Even Democrats are losing their humanity at this point. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Secret Mall Apartment is a documentary about GenX anti-establishment artists in the early 2000s. Highly recommend as an easy mental health break from the news. #movies #ArtSky

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

In other world news, NATO countries are mobilizing troops in preparation of military action while Trump pretends the US has $$$ to buy Greenland while Americans cannot afford their own groceries or medical care. www.npr.org/2026/01/15/g...

PSA: Examples of a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant. ICE cannot enter your home with only an administrative warrant.

Nothing like wasting time and resources in Annapolis with this nonsense.

I start a 3-mo art residency tomorrow and it feels somewhat self-indulgent to post about it with *waves hands at the US*. But, then this showed up in my feed and I'm reminded of why art is so important in even the darkest of times. Art gives voice. Art offers hope. Art is resistance. Art matters.

A horrifying case of child abuse BUT this has nothing to do with homeschooling. The school was aware of the child's malnutrition yet they never bothered to report the family until he was withdrawn from school. How long did this child suffer because teachers failed in the mandatory reporting?

In a week, I'll start a 3mo art residency. I'll be working on incorporating mixed media with my whimsical animal portraits. Feel free to drop a pic of your favorite furbaby and I may use it as an inspiration during my 1st week of painting. #ArtTherapy #watercolor #caturday #SelfTaughtArtist #BadArt

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

The answer you're looking for is: brick and mortar school. Seriously, I think we've come to a point where state BoEs need to consider creating a new class of students, which separates out homeschooling from fully online and drop off tutorials & microschools. ##EduSky

So many deliberate decisions were made with this photo shoot, but what I'm really here for is the post-shoot conversation. It's giving 50 Cent level petty. #VanityFair #StephenMiller #burn #photographry

It is positively white privilege for a rich man to think it is un-American to not pay people for their hardwork - only when it's **his** hardwork he's talking about. #feminism #BlackSky #hypocrite #KnowYourHistory #GeneSimmons

That'll be an easy investigation because you know darn well everyone including the janitors know who the sheriff was poking during business hours. What I want to know is what did the sheriff do to piss his ex-wife off so bad that she's going scorched earth on his thin blue line? #police #LEO #iykyk

Can we please NOT normalize forcing children to go door to door and beg for food because the government is trying to starve them. #resist #Halloween #JustSayNo #MutualAid

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Gov Wes Moore did not order the Maryland flag flown at half mast when Melissa Hortman - an actual MN elected official - was politically assassinated BUT has ordered them at half mast for Charlie Kirk??!!?? Condemn the violence but do better democrats.

Judgment Kitty wants to know how you've been fighting against corporate greed AND for fair wages #CatsOfBluesky #CatSky #FightFascism

Shattered some old liquor bottles and stuck them in a rock tumbler with some paving sand. The razor sharp edges have rounded out to a soft contour - the color is dull - and the texture is gritty. Such a metaphor for life. #ArtTherapy #GlassArt #caregiving

My favorite I-Know-A-Gay Economy story: I had a case where a kid was charged with assault after a para at his HS goaded him into a physical attack. There was video evidence & witnesses but school still backed the para. Atty consult discovers both me and the parents are LGBTQ and says: /1

Someone commented the Bruce Willis dementia doc is "uplifting". Yeah... NO! There's nothing uplifting about living w someone suffering from rapid decline memory loss, unless you have financial privilege that allows 24/7 help so you can enjoy the fleeting lucid moments. #caregiving

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

The Reisterstown Community Fridge has been gifted 2 food pantries. One is freestanding and the other will require a post to be installed. Who has a site in Baltimore County that can host these and foster mutual aid to combat hunger?

Point of ethics for TV journalists: Inform your interview subject BEFORE you put a camera in their face that you will be using AI for your final segment. Informed consent matters.

Look at that: Police *can* use non-lethal force to defuse calls for service when an out-of-control person w a gun is involved. And shame on Baltimore County Council & Todd Crandell for covering this up. Alcoholism is no excuse for domestic violence. www.dundalkeagle.com/news/local/b... #PoliceReform

What happens when you're trying to give positive press about Community Fridges but your filter is set to "off". The reporter was lovely, but I suspect she'll have different parameters for what can actually be aired. #FoodNotBombs #MutualAid #Baltimore #ActuallyAutistic #FightFascism #FreePalestine

+ for getting a new credit card after some fraudulent billing = all those recurring subscriptions I've been meaning to cancel for the last few months are no longer on autorenewal. #winning #MakingLemonade

We never really talk about the years of missed satisfaction that comes with adulthood and not having as many boo-boo scabs to pick. #iykyk

Starting a new lap quilt project using 3 generations of flannel shirts. Going to use a yellow fabric for the backing but still undecided about the border. #quilting #quilt #sewing #ColorScheme

I've been humbled to see how Reisterstown has come together to help our community fridge become a self sustaining outreach project in less than one month. The picture is of one in Baltimore city. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/culture/food... #MutualAid #CommunityFridge #DoGood
