I'm not a big MLS fan, but I see the Portland Timbers are playing all their games and even doing pretty well, despite playing in a war ravaged city. And Powell's Books, the world's largest independent bookstore, is holding book readings pretty much every night. Impressive. Like London 1940.

I was up there last week, took the last chopper out and barely made it out alive. You can practically smell the napalm in this photo #warravagedportland

I don't recognize this country

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

ICYMI: Wreck the U.S. economy, wreck the Planet.

I called my Mom to see how she is doing. She broke her arm but was out again this morning with the Grandmothers Against Genocide vigil. She said, "Do you know someone named Timothy Snyder?" Wow Mom. He is the expert on fascism. She said he took a picture of her sign. My Mom rocks.

How many times do we have to invoke #Nuremberg??? These people will eventually be prosecuted. Also #GenevaConventions

Also stop watching WJLA 7 news. Not on your side. + they run ICE recruitment ads during #Jeopardy. #Boomers

Can individual U.S. citizens join the #ICC?? would an American NGO be able to join?

Freddie doing a sit

Yeah. Clear and interesting.

Who, What, When, Where, Why (if you're lucky). I'm personally tired of wading through the mini-novel before the point. But I'm just an old white lady. ❤️

Great! Glad you were in my neighborhood! Did you hand out "Know Your Rights" flyers? #ACLU #Stop287g in District 6.

WJLA Channel 7 runs ICE recruitment during Jeopardy.

Huh. No ICE recruitment???

On what would have been John Young's 95th birthday! Flew two Gemini missions, flew to the Moon twice - walking on its surface as Commander of Apollo 16, then went on to Command the first Shuttle mission! Legend! Left: Recovered from underexposed film, Gemini X Right: Jump salute, Apollo 16

Yeah there’s just no way Bolton knew the documents were there, and if he did, he didn’t ignore requests to return them. And if he did, he didn’t defy a subpoena to keep them. And if he did, he didn’t drain his pool and flood the server room that stored video of him plotting to destroy evidence.

Of course they are. This art stuff on the Mall is wonderful. #Resist

As if we needed a reason. @charlieangus104.bsky.social

Here you go… #JimmyKimmel for those in blacked out cities

There are no bystanders in the fight against fascism. This is the latest @meidascanada.ca piece debunking the so-called "bystander effect." We have been taught that people don't stand up in the face of threat. It's not true. People do stand up. Please watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=46H-...

I thought when I saw the news clip that somebody stopped it so Melania wouldn't catch her heel in it.

After Trump's gong show at the UN it was good to see PM Carney invoking Leonard Cohen. "In every moment where there's a crack, where there's a rupture, there is possibility — and it's our responsibility, it's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it." www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-B...

Trump and what army???

Thank you. And don't forget the migrant farm workers who are in jeopardy of their lives and livelihoods right now. Do not support ICE in District 6 or anywhere else.

Keep all your papers. Especially now.

The Frederick News-Post, covers Frederick County Maryland and runs AP wire. Excellent little rag. Online and print.

They felt the pressure. Don’t let up. This statement is weak.

Indeed.

The exploitation of his death is worse than any criticism of his life.

Now bring back Colbert.

Why is it always about the $$$??? Karl Marx was right ...

Hopefully Jimmy will continue to take his 1st amendment jabs at the Trump regime.
