Justice for Sonya Massey. Fucking jury convicted on second degree murder. Sean Grayson is a murderer who should have never been allowed to have a gun, let alone a badge. Period.

“Cannabis use before age 15 is linked to physical and mental health issues” This is what all the evidence has been leaning toward and what I have seen in my 22+ years working in the field of SUD treatment. Marijuana is not a “soft drug” and “natural” doesn’t unequivocally mean harmless.

NEWS: Federal prosecutors indict Kat Abughazaleh, congressional candidate, county board candidate Cat Sharp and Dem committeeman Michael Rabbitt over September Broadview protest

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

At this point, I’m not going to be able to get any sort of news and I’m not going to be able to use a smart phone with every corporation capitulating to the Tangerine Palpatine. 🫠 While NPR will still exist, I’ll need to get rid of my iPhone and drop my Comcast/Xfinity service, for starters…

Aaaaaaand we have now officially jumped the shark. Way to go Brainworm Mengele…you did it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Best Saturday evening in some time. Worked on two diamond art bookmarks while listening to Ta-Nehisi Coates narrating Between the World and Me #booksky 💙📚

There’s a zombie on my lawn…

So if this ballroom is meant to be “for the people,” we all get to use it as a timeshare, right?

My heart hurts reading this and envisioning this torture on anyone, and especially on someone who knowing our failed system was probably wrongfully incarcerated let alone executed. 😢

Truth and this was from 2020! 🎯🎯🎯

Priorities.

If anyone needs more corporations to boycott, here you go…I’ll give my meager money to companies with better ethics and integrity, thanks.

Wait till MAGA realizes SNAP and food stamps are the same thing. Their heads are going to explode like when they found out the ACA and Obamacare are the same.

You know in a building that age there had to be asbestos. In/ around pipes, walls, etc. Was it tested? If the decision to tear it all down was a change, when was the testing done? Are the employees in the rest of the White House at a health risk? People in office buildings nearby? I’d want to know.

Even though this impacts the CDC and not universities, it is still alarming because this is what Brainworm Mengele wants - no oversight into MAHA pseudoscience.

No, bro — It’s not “cancel culture”, it’s consequence culture. Stephen Smith isn’t being “canceled,” he’s being called out.

Today is the 1st day of Prison Banned Books Week, a week examining the catastrophic impact of censorship on information access in carceral facilities. Go to prisonbannedbooksweek.org for updates & actions this week, and SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BOOKS TO PEOPLE IN PRISONS GROUP via books, $, volunteering!

Some of my Ashtanga peers were talking about this recently. Awareness and accountability are key for all to be safe in these spaces. If someone shares their experiences, listen and do not automatically dismiss…that’s how coverups begin. ( #IstillbelieveAnita ) kinoyoga.com/yoga-healing...

I miss Chicago. I’m so proud of my old home. My new home Springfield didn’t disappoint, either.

I find it fascinating how MAGA has upended the Republican Party by calling for more spending, not less as a whole; more government restrictions, not less; & less business innovations, not more. Look at the spending by DHS, look at the quashing of free speech, & look at the small business impact. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Remain peaceful and stand together. Ignore provocations. Stay safe. #nokings www.nokings.org

Come as you are, because you’re wanting change!

It just keeps happening…

Antidisestablishmentarianism wasn’t just some long word we had to learn in American History & polisci classes… it’s here currently in the WH ranks and lackeys, except it’s not tied in with the Church of England this time. It’s why we have separation of church & state and no official US religion.

Connections Puzzle #854 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Not sure how I managed this one with no errors, so I’ll just accept the win 😅

SAMHSA has now been slashed in half compared to where it was before this fascist regime took over. I really hate this timeline. But if you get rid of SAMHSA, NIDA, CDC, AND health research, I guess Tangerine Palpatine hopes a dementia diagnosis can disappear because it won’t exist then, right? 🤦🏻‍♀️

George knows what it’s like to be a WH comms director. Called it like he saw it. 🎤 #thisistheway

I’m with you, Toad. Except that my doggo has stolen the blanket so I’ll just bury my face in my pillow instead.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

This is why we can’t have nice things and we don’t manufacture anything in the US. A Capitalist/Consumerist driven economy means that the thing also has to be cost effective to produce at home in order to work. Legit, how are all these people in office not understanding how this works? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lest we get too excited over some from across the aisle saying whoa whoa whoa to the impact of ACA subsidies expiration on their constituents…

There’s still some good in the world. Cubs win and the Nobel Peace Prize did not go to the Tangerine Palpatine. I can now enjoy my coffee and yogurt parfait before Ashtanga yoga this morning. 🧘🏻‍♀️ ☕️

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

This is not acceptable. These people are citizens. They are coming for anyone who is black, brown, or have epicanthal folds as if those are indicators of “not from around here” 🫠😡

If only there was a Nobel War prize, then once Putin and Netanyahu had had their awards, Trump would be a shoo-in for bringing war to the streets of his own country.

Every time I now have to sit through one of those “waste, fraud, abuse” annual trainings, I’m going to suggest that admin sit through it ten times over and commit it to memory because clearly those of us who have to keep sitting through those trainings are not the intended audience these days 🤦🏻‍♀️

No lies detected at all in anything Pritzker has stated or speculated on. Anyone who says this isn’t what is happening really needs to take a hard look at why they are clinging so tenaciously to their cognitive dissonance. 4547 is unhinged, and all his lackeys are his “yes men henchmen.”

If you come for my people, you come through me.

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

After reading an article yesterday suggesting that Gen X is the first group needing a basic income due to the loss of pensions and beginning of 401k/403b retirement plans amongst workers in that generation, I’m even more set on hoping a basic income happens in the US
