Even Republican Lamar Alexander found removing "Roots" a bridge too far. MAGA's efforts to tell us American history was all sunshine and kittens is not involuble. Stand up for what is right! Get Ready! Get Registered! #VOTE!

I'd ask if The Regime could get more disgusting, but I don't want to bring those negative energies into our space.

None of this is happening inside The Regime's bubble. Let's pop it on November 3. Get ready! Get registered! #VOTE

#Baltimore will be bit damp for Artscape this weekend. @balticon has a great art show, and it's dry at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel Great schedule of writers, scientists, gamers, musicians, and much more! schedule.balticon.org

@vanhollen.senate.gov - Thank you for standing up for #Maryland and the peoole who run our #elections. As a Chief Election Judge I can tell you we work hard to dot every "i" & see all eligible voters have their say without any fear or favor.. www.wbal.com/maryland-sen...

@balticon.bsky.social starts in 49 hours! Run in circles! Scream and shout! Same thing I said in the delivery room I'M NOT READY!!! It's still going to be amazing fun!! Friday May 22 - Monday May 25 Jim Butcher (#Dresden Files) is Guest of Honor! Y'all come Balticon.org

This is such BS! Humans make errors. Errors, especially ones known and being fixed, are not fraud! In an audit I expect to find some error. If not, it looks a little off. Trump orders Justice Department to investigate mail ballots in Maryland - POLITICO share.google/MRSDL5fMkUHb...

Take nothing for granted!! Check on your mail in ballot! I've been serving as a Chief #Election Judge going back to Obama's second election. My poll is not my district, so I vote by mail. For no special reason, I looked myself up. Guess who wasn't signed up for her ballot! Don't guess. Do it!

If we were really talking about a level playing field @americanbar.org & US Ed would say: No #DEI, but affirm requirement to comply the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawing discrimination based on "race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Due process is the single most important right you have, because it's the one that protects all the others. No one has ever had their civil rights violated, their rights to life and liberty violated, without their right to due process being violated FIRST. It's why protecting it is so important.

Theater & pain. Translation - we can't manage this program and don't know how to investigate anything. Is this a staffing problem putting intake people into doing fraud cases b/c folks w experience & integrity won't do political hack jobs against The Regime's "enemies?" thehill.com/policy/healt...

Fumigation is a good word. But how long it takes to get rid of burrowed in true believers in The Regime will be a decades long effort. The "flood the field" approach to destroying the government has been more effective than anyone knew. We need a thorough 2029 Plan to restore our government.

Real consequences of failing to support science. All The Regime sees is the possibility of turning weather science into a private cash cow. The damage to NOAA is significant. We, the people, must tell Congress this is a step too far. Our lives depend on good science. www.npr.org/2026/05/06/n...

End of Week 1: New 8'x2' raised beds in place w 20 gal. self-watering feature in the bottom. Should not have been deterred in testing the bed on the right even with the overnight rsin it held - it leaks due to liner folds - young unskilled labor I should have checked. #gardening

Measles! My generation over 65 had no choice. We got measles. We went blind - that's why we had so many schools for blind children - we had a lot. And brain damage. I spent weeks in a dark room. there is no good reason on this planet to put children at risk of measles. youtube.com/shorts/uZURW...

#Linux Not a good weekend to be a SysAdmin. arstechnica.com/security/202...

Kudos to @carmitage.bsky.social for doing what millions of lawyers have been too bullied, weak-kneed, & self-serving to do: call Ro Arts before a tribunal to account for his ethical conduct. Read the article. Follow the trail. Stand up for basic ethics. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

Excited about the @baltimoregso.bsky.social concert Friday. May 1 at 8 pm at Dunbar High School in Baltimore. Fantastic music from video games. 120 musicians and singers! And all for free! Busy? Catch us at 6 on Saturday May 9 at Western High School. #Baltimore #gaming

Less access to loans will cause universities to lower tuition - only in the economic fairyland of The Regime, which has lowered enrollment by full price foreign students. The seats will get filled by less qualified students w the money to pay Hard working poor - GET LOST! thehill.com/homenews/edu...

A second Trumpty Dumpty poem - I enjoyed it. youtube.com/shorts/Ju0VV...

Just when the medical establishment was making some gains in treating Black people decently, The Regime puts RFK, Jr. in charge and sets everyone back 50 years or more. I wish this was unbelievable. #BlackSky youtube.com/shorts/oNSc7...

Promoti g racism is not a side effect of The Regime, it is a central tenet Getting rid of every effective fighter by any means necessary is the playbook. Thus. all donors can be charged with "providing material support to a terrorist organization. Next up: @ACLU www.justice.gov/opa/pr/feder...

Happy Earth Day! Our planet is beautiful.

Why are otherwise intelligent people so gullible?

@warren.senate.gov “Let’s check out your independence and your courage. We’ll start easy: Mr Warsh, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?” “We try to take politics out of the Federal Reserve,” Warsh said, Well that's clear. And we only try... This is sick. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Are women the only members of The Regime's Cabinet who should be fired? I'm not arguing for retaining Noem, Bondi or Chavez-DeRemer, but why are Hegseth, Rubio, and Patel still here? Just saying this looks a little sus. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/u...

Time to tear up the too complicated Tax Code and start over. Its purpose is collecting money, equitably across all segments of the economy. How money is made (stocks, tips or sweat) should not matter. It is not backdoor housing, energy or any other policy. @warren.senate.gov get on it!

If you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), you are not alone – IBS is common with prevalence estimated at 5% to 10% worldwide. aboutibs.org/living-with-...

Do you have your hotel room for @balticon.bsky.social? Our room block closes in 29 days. You cannot beat our great rate $163 per night for a premier hotel! Guest of Honor Jim Butcher (Dresden Files) No extra fees for autographs or pictures! By Fans for Fans! www.balticon.org/hotel-direct...

It is better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and prove it. Not having done enough to wreck the world economy on the last 4 weeks, now we get a man with zero idea of what Customs does. If this was vaudeville, everyone of The Regime's clowns would get the hook.

@warren.senate.gov couldn't easily lay hands on an illustration of Elon Musk's wealth vs. avg American - the difference looks like 6.5 million M&Ms 350 lbs of rice We need a wealth tax for over $50 million - 2 cents - a lot less than 1950's 91% income tax rate youtube.com/shorts/25Ea0...

They irradiated tonsils in the '40s. My mother-in-law and every other kid ended up with thyroid cancer. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Bad language is not new among US presidents, but kept it private. The frontotemporal portions of their brains were working. The Cabinet to must do its job & invoke 25th Amendment before The Regime really does reach for the nuclear keys Hegseth won't stop him. Pray for military officers w spines

So opposite from my grandmother's advice to "Wear out [my] Bible."

Not in our name!!

We still have good things happening!

@mjdavis1988.bsky.social provides an excellent discourse on how different groups w/n Evangelical Christianity look away and enable The Regime by twisting basic teachings to give a pass to egregious behavior Bottom line greed (see 10th Commandment on coveting) w theft & lying require public shaming

Do we need more evidence that The Regime is unfit to serve? How far does he have to devolve before either Cabinet or Congress act? How big is the bill for an unlawful war the American people will pay in reparations? The fact harm was done by someone w diminished capacity will not absolve us.

A rare plan to build affordable hoysing by government, but 70% of the additions are "market rate" ($5800/mo for 2BR!) Public owned buildings are why NYC still has a middle class. @mayor.nyc.gov must listen to residents & rebuild for them first! Hope this works out. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/n...

"Over half of the illnesses are in children under five (5) years old." There are 9 cases. Why are we living in a world where people think the way to show love for their children is by taking food risks their great-grandparents escaped? We must teach basic science. www.fda.gov/food/outbrea...
