Look y’all. I survived a divorce and my mother dying. I deserve a little crash-out on FB, telling people that a racist misogynist violence-loving rabble-rouser is not, in fact, the embodiment of Jesus. Let me enjoy this.

Normalize calling bad people bad

Excellent response from Hasan Piker, who was scheduled to debate Charlie Kirk in two weeks. On his stream he said: “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.” Also talked about his own vulnerability

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

Also: sometimes local action looks like removing signs advertising an upcoming gun show from roadways. More people do not need to be acquiring guns with no oversight and accountability.

I respect people who are not as online as me, but being informed about local problematic people is important. You might have a pure heart & want to truly help folks. I’m the most optimistic of souls & you must be able to spot a grifter when you see one. Use discernment & keep your eyes open 👀

NEW: When Biden nominated Scott Colom to a federal court, U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith used the Senate's "blue slip" tradition to block his nomination. Now, instead of a federal judgeship, Colom is aiming to unseat her in the Senate. @heatherharrison.bsky.social reports on his campaign launch:

Martha, I need you to get Snoop on the phone and tell him he is being ridiculous at best and hateful at worst, and to get his shit together, thanks girl bye

Friends, Lovie developed pneumonia after her 2nd round of chemo, also had a stroke in the past couple of days. There is no recovery possible from this, and we are providing comfort care. I made it down to the Coast before 1AM & have said what I needed to say, please pray for her and for us.

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @axios.com he will introduce a measure later this week to end the emergency Trump has declared under the Home Rule Act in order to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police. Has to wait until a 48-hour window is up. www.axios.com/2025/08/11/t...

Jackson, Mississippi, is +80% Black. The white supremacy game of undermining & disallowing majority-Black cities the ability to self-govern isn’t new. State govt has been working to slander, ruin, & take over Jackson for generations. Blatant disenfranchisement & resource theft every chance they get.

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs

I flipped off a cybertruck today and I feel good about that choice.

Pretty sure my neighbor, who used to be a cop, now works for 🧊. May my VPN be strong and my hexes even stronger. And yes, sending their info to the right org that is tracking these soulless cowards ASAP.

Y’all I dropped off Ben/Hams for 6th grade orientation, bought Patty Griffin tickets for Nashville, booked a tattoo, and then went back to the middle school for open house. What a cuckoo, but fantastic, day.

Bluesky friends, I’ve been so absent here. I admit that I really like Threads more but I am trying to remember to pop my head in here and say random things 🙃

just feels like five or six dragons could really turn some shit around these days

Normalize booing local businesses when they post AI-generated graphics.

It is not your job to make it easy for those who would exploit or oppress you. Be difficult. Be stubborn. Be a problem that keeps them up at night.

"It feels like we live at the end of the story but this isn't the end, it's the middle. And together we have to fight for a better end." @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social said that recently and it's a comfort and a reminder at all times, and perhaps especially today.

When you jam your bill through overnight… When you are forced to cancel town halls… When you need to wear masks to hide your actions… You know the people aren’t on your side—and now, you’ve lost us forever. We will remember this day. We will remember your names. We will remember you as traitors.

I honestly think ANDOR is more inspirational and rousing than like, the past 20 years of democratic messaging.

really does feel like if we can cyberbully the House into passing changes on the shit they openly hate and get it kicked back upstairs again there’s a chance it might not survive the Senate a second time if you live in a GOP state it’s time to ruin a House rep’s life

Update on Lovie: her ovarian cancer is stage 3C. Getting a port put in this week in Hburg but will be at UMMC for chemo. Chemo will start in the next week or two, and will last at least 6 weeks, most likely longer. As always, please send your prayers, love, good thoughts & vibes her and our way!

Just saying…alligators aren’t racist and aren’t going to distinguish between anyone who gets too close…sure hope whoever is on staff down at the Florida concentration camp FAFO real fast

how about no

The moment is so big, and our leaders are so small.

I hate this reality but I love having smart friends like @deedeebaldwinms.bsky.social

how can something be so funny and so wrong at the same time 🤣

When you realize the reason you’ve been obsessed with Emmylou Harris’ Going Back to Harlan for weeks is so you could hear Spirit tell you it’s time to change your last name; that you have big work to do & you need your own name to bring into the world. Reclaiming my own sovereignty & my birthright.

Just pre-ordered it today! @megjoneswall.bsky.social is fantastic and I can’t wait to use her spreads with my tarot clients!

Since it's hot car season again, it's time for the yearly PSA. If you drive with a child on a day when it's not routine, stick a part of your routine with the child. Your left shoe is a great choice. It's a normal function of the brain to autopilot through your routine, and it CAN forget a baby.

“What will survive of us is love.” Phillip Larkin.

These are very bad times. But there are a lot of good people here. We must continue to take care of one another and fight for one another. That's always been the work, that's always the work.

the world is just better with trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer people in it full stop

i believe in few things more strongly than that trans joy will win

Imma need some of the good billionaires to write some big checks.

Why tarot and music always go together in my practice: pulled the Emperor, and then Joni Mitchell sings “oh Carey, you’re a mean old daddy, but I like you” 🤣🤣🤣 deck is Tarot of the Spirit, which I only use for myself. The book is so juicy and rich. #tarot #magic #jonimitchell

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

This is absolutely wrong and illegal AND I will respect Brad Lander for putting himself on the line to show the world exactly what facism is happening, in real time, by ICE and the Trump Adminstration. Every white man with this kind of power should be stepping up to do the same.

Expect this photo and this man to be made a hero by weird little guys who will follow in his footsteps like the previous weird little guys that are a certain demographic, support a certain political party and voted for a certain candidate yet are still called lone wolves.

While you're drinking your Sunday coffee, enjoy this long thread from Doug Landry on the advance planning failures of Trump's birthday party. threadreaderapp.com/thread/19340...

Y’all I have been googling but I can’t find any info about this amazing sculpture(?) above the entrance to the Wiser Hospital at UMMC - any locals know who created this amazing piece?

Pussy Riot on the steps of City Hall in Downtown Los Angeles, unfurling a banner that says IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE RUSSIA. #NoKings

Protest is a sign that democracy is ALIVE. It means people are united and angry and willing to stand up for what they believe in. If democracy was dead, people wouldn’t dare.

Rally in Jackson Mississippi ended with Rage Against the Machine and I am so proud of my people right now. 😁 Volume up.

Seeing sheriff’s cars outside the entrance to the women’s hospital at UMMC is making me both sad and furious.

Y’all if I make it through this visit without giving my daddy an ACTUAL come-to-Jesus fight it will only be through the grace of…someone. I just don’t have the capacity to handle patriarchial white man bullshit after the two hardest weeks of my recent life.
