Our local organizers were interviewed on the radio this morning and said this: "Lead with love, stand with courage, march with joy." #NoKingsDayOct18th #nohatezone

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry, says a small, smarmy & universally loathed man. “While they seem to lack any motivation to be good, they intensely desire to appear good. Their "goodness" is all on a level of pretense. It is, in effect, a lie.” • M. Scott Peck, “The People of the Lie”

Speaker Johnson: ‘I haven’t been this mad since I typed BBC into Google and it led me to a damn news site…’

‘They call me Mad Mike, trust me you don’t want to see what happens when I’m angry….I was served chipotle mayonnaise once at church picnic, golly gee whiz, I said ‘Ma’am, this tastes like the devils jizz, too spicy for my Christian lips…please send the young man who made to me’

Please! 😻🐶💗

This Saturday, we’re going to be peaceful, nonviolent and definitely use humor! Let’s take Portland’s take on the fun 🐸🦄 and show our love for America 🇺🇸 💙 to the No Kings events!

My Goddess! I’m one big shiver on two feet. 🎵🖤🎵 youtu.be/gbljPQbxtTQ?...

if you're black and 14, you're a man. if you're white and 40, you're just a kid

Why $20B — no wait, it’s $40B now? Safeguarding Bessent’s buddies investment bets in Argentina, of course.

No Kings. “…and when push comes to shove, I will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love…” Mad Wanna-Be King Trumpty Dumpty,is a legend in his own rotting delusional brain. youtu.be/i5JAjAR_AjY?...

…one hardly even notices the corpses anymore… youtu.be/B-yfdLoDCvw?...

Watchers…always watching… Cool. 🖤 Each story we tell of the stories we live is a fragment in an endless shape-shifting mosaic.

J.D. Vance says it's OK to joke about gas chambers, rape, and "watermelon people", but if you quote Charlie Kirk you'll get your VISA revoked

There must be a Twitler figurine for his tiny playhouse rooms don’tcha think? From RawStory: “The tenser things are, the more he moves the [diorama] pieces around in his spare time,” Of course he does. youtu.be/eGoXyXiwOBg?...

Maybe he has a tiny Predator-in-Chief figurine to play with in the dioramas. Rapidly deteriorating neurological function in tandem with decompensating Cluster B personality disorder. This was always where it was going. Always. And the autocrat-oligarchy knew it.

Like Jeff Goldblum’s Wizard of Oz showing Galindo & Elphaba his model of his future Emerald City in “Wicked”. Seriously impaired malignant narcissist w/dementia: “…the president has had dioramas built representing all the changes he makes and likes to play with them during his meals,…” 😱

This is perfection! 🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟

Tiedrich! 🙌🏻 My only tiny quibble is with the word “fuckwits”. No, no, not because of “fuck”. I’m ok with that. But it’s not a strong enough image. The Cantaloupe Caligula & Co. are monstrous predators. Think these guys leering & grinning, drooling instead:

“I see you have cheese.” She smelled it halfway across the house and came a-trotting in. Did she get a schnibble? Yes! 🐾🖤🐾 "A dog can never tell you what she knows from the smells of the world, but you know, watching her, that you know almost nothing.” Mary Oliver, Dog Songs

🖤 ❝ When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’…❞

All’s right on the Happy Planet when the Watch Doodle’s on duty, and our teenagers have me laughing at 6 AM. Some mornings bubble with it, what Anne Lamott calls “carbonated holiness”. 🐾🖤🐾

I swear I did not have "I'm better at ducking bullets than Charlie Kirk" on my Donny Batshit Bingo card

Gee Golly! A new market for full body haptic suits, dear hearts. There is no stop to this, no natural endpoint. So the addiction will be forever fed. As with other addictions, the addict bottoms out, his life becomes unmanageable, and the stark choice is stop or die. & the tech broligarchs grin.

The Pentagon has given them a choice: sign these new restrictive rules by Tuesday or lose your press credentials by Wednesday. The message is clear comply, or disappear. .

“Who am I in this frightened world? Where will I make my bed tonight when twilight turns to dark? Questions for the angels, who believes in angels? I do, pilgrims all over the world do.” 🎵🖤🎵 youtu.be/eLduftxaRGg?...

The American-born pope has released his first apostolic exhortation—the message is certain to rile conservatives. Leo is making clear that the moral center of contemporary Catholicism is Latin America, where the theology of the poor and marginalized first formed half a century ago. trib.al/5tuWMNl

This is the way.

“Let the rain kiss you Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops Let the rain sing you a lullaby The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk The rain makes running pools in the gutter The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night And I love the rain.” • Langston Hughes

“Pretending we are not living on the cusp of madness, ready to fall into the abyss, will only deepen our dilemma”. open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

Nina Burleigh🙌🏻 In her power and profanity, in her smashing of walls between “influencer” and “journalist” and “presidential adviser,” Loomer is a mile-marker in the descent of the American political discourse into depravity, and of our government into chaos and farce. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

For your awkwardness in dealing with practical things, & for your practicalness in dealing with unknown things, for your transcendental realism and lack of everyday realism for that which is prescient, unsaid, infinite in you. For the loneliness & strangeness of your ways. Be greeted! K Dabrowski

Someone should check Trump’s signature on the Gaza ceasefire against the Epstein birthday card.

This is the way. I *so* needed this today and The Unipiper in a dinosaur costume. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” • Kurt Vonnegut

Good morning, Friends! It's #MotivationMonday! "To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives." -Henry David Thoreau 📷 Autumn Path, Ann, 12-20-23

Your daily reminder that Indigenous people predated Columbus in the “new world” by — wait for it — 23,000 years. #IndigenousPeoplesDay 🪶🪶

“They believed in more. More art and imagination. More truth and transparency. More connection and compassion. More courage, more curiosity, more joy. More beauty, more humanity, more light. They believed in something greater than themselves, and they never gave up on it.”

“What if the cure is to give up the allure of magical thinking?” 🎵🖤🎵 youtu.be/mv_qEyFOgIc?...

“Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.”  • Spinoza Theologico-Political Treatise, 1670

“…you know, you can’t outrun the history train. I’ve seen the glorious day…” 🎵🕊️🖤🕊️🎵 youtu.be/CgsAmUbrCnA?...

youtu.be/RZ7RpzRia78 I love that she called herself a weirdo. I don’t do fandom, well — not since I was a 13 year old Beatle maniac. I feel so sad that this funny & self-effacing woman has gone on. No doubt it’s also about my sister. Hebb’s law & all that jazz…neurons firing and wiring together.🖤

“…Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem. They’ve made cruelty the delivery of a campaign promise. They smile for the cameras while people suffer. They call it patriotism. And the rest of us are expected to adapt. To swallow it. To keep moving through it like it’s normal…” It’s NOT normal. 😞

It was reported today that Trump's approval rating fell 16% since the election. Still seemed high. I dug deeper. People who still approve of Trump also approve of root canal, email spam, people driving slow in the left lane, pistachios that don't open, customer call centers in India, and mosquitos.

Again, yes. It’s brilliant.
