Autism is NOT a disease. Measles, mumps, and rubella are. Vaccinate your kids.

Those who don't study history are going to repeat its tragedies and offenses. Let us remember those who fought for an end to an unjust war.

chng.it/cj8FpmvM Give to your local shelters. It does more good than giving to the ASPCA.

Local people who have the resources to share, your support is needed by those impacted by trump's policies. Thank you.

www.beaverton.k12.or.us/departments/... If you are interested in helping families stretch their resources, follow the link. You can give $$$, your time, or in-kind donations. If there is nothing like this in your area, contact your local PTO and help organize one. Thank you! Let's help each other!

Rather than posting about the next awful thing this administration has done, I want to boost those people and organizations that are trying to work for the common good. Join me.

Thanks for this. This is exactly how I feel.

Here in the US, gas and groceries cost more. Tariffs increase our costs. Overseas, our buying power drops. Are we great yet? Asking for my friends...

ANYONE who isn't 100% indigenous needs to just shut the fuck up about immigrants. Righr?

TAX REVOLT!! I'll pay when Musk and the oligarchs pay their fair share. Otherwise, fuck 'em.🖕

[DOGE is] about efficiency in the same way that the "Ministry of Truth" in Nineteen Eighty-Four was about truth. 📚 So says Rebecca Solnit in her newsletter called "Meditations in an Emergency." Get it. Read it. Good stuff from a strong voice for the resistance.

If you have not yet subscribed to the newsletter called Meditations in an Emergency by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social , you need to find it and sign up. Highly recommended and worthy of your time!

And what was he doing, spending millions to go to a game when he has a job to do "governing" the country? Did he even know where he was? Word is he left early. If ever there was fraud and waste, this would certainly look like it. Where was DOGE (pronounced douche)? More BS. 🤬

I don't know how you feel about this, but I had a negative, visceral reaction to seeing the chief felon with his hand raised in a salute during the national anthem. Here is a guy who had five deferments for bone spurs, who calls those who have served "losers" and "suckers". I'm not buying his BS. 🤬

What did y'all think of the halftime show?

It's hard to find these in dark times. But if you need a little, I'm here for you. Share your love and light when and where you can. Each act of kindness and compassion for others, no matter how small, lights the way for others and brings hope. Don't be afraid. You are not alone.

I bought myself some books while taking a break from work on Friday...📚

In case you missed it...

@repjasmine.bsky.social You are a warrior for us! You are awesome, brave, and intelligent! Keep fighting for working people and know that we are with you! Well done!

@pwocg.bsky.social Welcome, Paul.

How are you taking care of yourself and those in your community? What are you doing to handle the stress of these days?

Celebrating Black History Month. Be the light!

There is an app called 5 Calls which lets you notify your representatives about issues that need attention. Scripts are provided if phone calling is not your forte. Search it. Download it. Use it! Make your voices heard. Stand up against the oligarchy that would destroy us. Thank you.

Read, share, act.

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social It's a small thing, my BIG THANKS for your dedication, hard work, common sense, compassion, and great skill with the written word. We have a huge fight ahead of us. I'm beyond glad that you are guiding and encouraging us. Well done! Thank you!

THIS.

I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear.

Now the reprehensible racists are coming after indigenous people. Here's how you can respond.

Our school board & superintendent set policies, wrote documents, provided training to assist all staff in dealing with ICE demands for info on students & families. Bottom line: we support ALL our kids, regardless of ethnicity, origin, gender, economics, etc. Proud of them for standing up for kids! 💖

A plea for mercy...

@zagjen.bsky.social Welcome, Jen!

I am already so sick of the demented, smirking, grifting, raping felon, and he hasn't taken the oath of office yet. As if he would do what it says... never going to happen.

Let them eat...

Words of encouragement for these difficult days. Do the small, kind thing. Baby steps. Little things add up to big change.

This perfect parody of the Williams poem breaks my heart and pisses me off.

There has been talk about dumping Meta or boycotting it for a week. Why allow the wretched tech bros to silence us and sever our connections with other resistors? Don't give in. Be vocal, be LOUD, be a thorn in their side. Annoy fuckerberg. Click on no ads. Check facts before posting. #Resist!

One way to help those affected by the LA fires...

@markitdown.bsky.social Love your choice of profile pic. Sing with me, "I'm all right..." 😄

Great minds think alike. How can I be helpful to people I know who will be impacted by executive orders from the felon? We will have important work to do.

This is why my clothes have holes.

We must care for one another.

What is the point of a conviction for 45 if there is no jail, no fine, no penalities? Someone explain it to me like I'm in kindergarten...

Hissy pissy missy sitting on my lap... love my Stanley Sue.

The terrorist attack in New Orleans is horrific, and I am beyond angry that these events continue. On the upside, there are people showing up to donate blood, to give real time aid and support to those affected by this tragedy. Heartbreaking disasters like this bring out the best in those who care.

People talking about colleges as indoctrination of ideas, and promoting the benefits of home schooling instead, need to read this book. It is one woman's story of being home-schooled and how being in the larger world opened her mind. "Educated" by Tara Westover.

We will not forget what the mango mussolini has done.

One more time... And is it just me, or is this year off to a less than stellar start? Someone pointed out that the first few days are Wednesday-Thursday-Friday. W.T.F. WTF? Is there more violence to come? I hope not...
