Not liking this. Apparently this judge is unfamiliar with the concept of "preventive care". 😡 🎁 article www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/u...

Just saw this... lest there be any doubt regarding their actions to erase/re-write history to suit their own agendas. 🤯😡 Share & save.. #J6 #NeverForget #DomesticTerrorism www.npr.org/2026/05/26/n...

Really excellent, fascinating conversation. Am so glad I recorded it to re-watch. Thank you @maddow.bsky.social Two books by historian Steven J. Ross added to my list: "The Secret War Against Hate" April 2026 "Hitler in Los Angeles" November 2017 #BookSky📚 #Resistance

They gave everything so we could have everything, and today we honor not just the men and women who never came home but the families who carry that loss every single day. Thank you, with all our hearts

For some perspective on #GunViolence in response to the NPR article about govt funding for security of religious institutions. We need #SeparationOfChurchAndState as per our Constitution.✨🕊️

Sobering, heartbreaking interactive item from @coolhand.bsky.social Reminiscent of a movie trivia item. At the end of the movie "Arrival" Dr. Louise Banks whispered to General Shang his wife's dying words: "In war there are no winners, only widows." 🥀 #MemorialDay is every day for too many.✨🕊️

"Books read us back to ourselves." In Bulgaria (which is where I'm from) May 24 is Literacy Day. And so here is Jeanette Winterson (one of my favorite writers) on why we read: www.themarginalian.org/2021/01/31/j...

One of my sons sent me this good (& nerdy) interactive map, which includes wind direction, of the potentially affected areas. Where I live should be fine as is outside the projected hazard zone. #ChemicalSpill #GardenGrove #OrangeCountyCA joevezzani.github.io/hazard-zone-...

"After the 2014 outbreak, which killed over 11,000 people, the world strengthened systems to catch and contain Ebola. Much of that infrastructure... has been dismantled over the past year" #Ebola2026 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/o...

It is precisely when life feels most tragic and the world seems most broken that a defense of joy is most necessary, most rehumanizing. Let the great Uruguayan poet Mario Benedetti make it for us all: www.themarginalian.org/2025/07/04/m...

The June 2 California Primary Election is almost here, so make sure you’re ready to vote. 🗳️ From registering online to tracking your ballot and finding endorsed candidates, we’ve got the resources you need to make your voice heard this election.

In my long life, never thought I'd see this sort of thing happening again. Not ever. When Lyndon Johnson signed the #VRA really believed that marked an evolutionary step up for our country. Apparently not. 🤬 #Injustice #Racism

Though am rarely on FB these days, just saw this. Remember reading about something similar back in the 80's. Sometimes it's not "fixing" but "letting go" that works to heal! The article talks about a study at Johns Hopkins. #Healing #PowerOfRitual #ProcessingTrauma www.facebook.com/SittingBulll...

#CincoDeMayo is a good day to honor my state's Mexican heritage. Might re-watch a favorite romantic movie: A Walk in the Clouds (1995) Portrays a Mexican-American family in post-WWII Napa Valley, highlights themes of tradition, honor, & agricultural heritage. IMDB 6.7 youtu.be/CCJLFg1nOao?...

My father was at Princeton when Einstein was there. I know he met him on a couple of occasions. Think I would have been about 1 year old? Wondering if that's partly why fairy tales were always read in our home.🤔🏰🧚🐉🧙‍♀️ 🗡️👸https://www.themarginalian.org/2025/07/29/cristina-campo-unforgivable-fairy-tales/

While I understand the intent of the planned MayDay protest (no work, no school) am genuinely concerned abt impact on small businesses. When staff doesn't show up, can cause financial loss to people who can't afford it & impacts their customer relationships. Damages people it's supposed to help?🤔

From 2024 - currently streaming on Netflix. Based on true story that happened during the 1976 Argentine military coup. My kind of movie.🌟🎬 Even includes Nick Drake's song "Northern Sky." Highly recommend! youtu.be/0A_C3MT3uyA?...

"Notre monde ne va pas bien, notre bien-être physique et mental, est souvent en péril. Marcher surtout vers St Jacques est parfait pour inspirer, s’évader, partager, se ressourcer, méditer, retrouver des valeur simples, et prendre son temps en se reconnectant à la nature." #CaminoDeSantiago ✨🕊️✨

The solution isn't a ballroom. Here are some ideas: 1. Stop the MAGA propaganda machine that blurs the line between fact and fiction 2. Stop the right wing extremist violent rhetoric, including from the president 3. Common sense gun laws 4. Break up the corporate media conglomerates 1/
