Email promo from GeeksOutfit. It took me half a sec to get reference. WTF? Chernobyl and its devastating effects on humans in deaths and illness, plus the environment and animal life are not a fhk'n joke for a t-shirt. Tact seems to be rare now.

What an incredible woman with a stellar career of studying our closest relatives. I likely couldn't guess how many hundreds of girls Dame Dr. Goodall inspired to purse careers in science. More of her, please, God. (Especially now.) #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for refusing to comply with our FOIA request for information about the agency's plans for expanding immigration detention in the D.C. region. We have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund ICE's abusive detention machine.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'? JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said. S: Those are quotes

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

I'm game for this. #Bales2025FilmChallenge Day 1: Favorite Frankenstein Movie: I'm going with Bride of Frankenstein. Director James Whale loops in surrealism, comedy and the irreplaceable Ella Lancaster. All brilliant #October #FilmSky #MovieSky #Horror

Today, Trump declared war on his own citizens, calling for U.S. cities to be used as “training grounds” for troops to confront what he called an “invasion from within.” Americans are a proud people, and no one (foreign or domestic) will threaten our home.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

From Pan's Labyrinth (2006)… [Translated from Spanish.] Capitán Vidal: You could have obeyed me! Doctor: But Captain, to obey - just like that - for obedience's sake... without questioning... That's something only people like you do. This exchange is glaringly relevant today and tomorrow.

"Absorb"??? We're not talking about the Quicker Picker Upper paper towel, my #WashPost pals, we're talking declaration of war by Trump's Military Junta on **We the People**. FFS, do better. (Link in comments.)

NEW: Per multiple sources, HHS employees received a message 20 minutes ago saying that Trump opposes a gov shutdown. "Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the US Senate due to unrelated policy demands." One source called it "the most overtly political message" yet.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I miss waking up and going to bed knowing Obama, level-headed, brilliant, deeply concerned for all humanity, is our nation's leader. I could sleep. Now we have a disturbed, loathsome, vile man who declares war on his own citizens via social media. Now my anxiety is a forest fire, always on alert.

LOOK ALL AT THE GRAFFITI, SENATOR!!! WE MUST CALL IN THE 101ST AIRBORNE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! #WarRavagedPortland

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

I cannot fathom a universe where, in the values I was raised to hold close, I would treat anyone w/ such violence and hatred. 79, 59, or 19. The U.S., “greatest nation on earth,” has removed its mask. It’s a monster’s face. But not Lon Chaney’s Phantom. Just mediocre white men drunk on power.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - Some guy in some book no one's ever heard of, I think. I'd say I have a well-worn copy, but that might mark me as #Antifa. 🤐

Thomas Nast, the father of the American political cartoon, was born on September 27, 1840. He created the elephant as the GOP symbol, popularized the donkey as the Dem symbol, shaped our notion of Santa Claus, helped end Tammany Hall, etc. (And the political cartoon is more important now than ever!)

Millions of Americans marched against the US invading Iraq under the false pretence of weapons of mass destruction. How many Americans will march against the US invading itself under the false pretence of domestic terrorism?

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

RIP. A man who *deserves* a state funeral attended by a president, vice president, and Sec of Defense. But alas a scenario now impossible. He’s too “woke” for our the fascists.

"Authoritarianism." Sure, yes, something too many Americans only know through film, history books, or news from the other side of the globe. But, goddamnit, something this way *is here.*

🔥 🔥🔥

Not just for Trump. Maybe many aspects in this wee life I got.

I would not last 14 minutes in military. I have stamina of cheese cloth. But even I know you SHOULD NEVER FUCKIN' advertise to world that every top brass member will be in same room at same time. Great way for bad guys to kill every leader at once. Is Putin appearing as guest speaker??? JFC…

Donald Trump, seen here identifying out of a police lineup the escalator that stopped on him at the United Nations this week.

I'm sure there's nothing to fret over with this meeting. Maybe they're gonna all watch the new Taylor Swift movie together. Have themselves a sing-a-long party with mimosas. Sure.

Trump demanding a Nobel Peace Prize while his psycho head of the Department of War celebrates mass murder and theft of land. "This decision is final." Psychopaths for Peace!

What is the truth? Anything that Donald Trump says it is. The DOJ and SC serve that "truth" and only that "truth." America 2025.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

I had to look up Yarvin. From bio: "He has argued that whites have inherently higher IQs than [B]lack people, and opposes U.S. civil rights programs." So, yeah, launch this repugnant prick directly into the sun. (Sorry, Sun, you deserve better.)

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Facts. Now a foreign concept to United States. No wonder Trump wanted out of this org. They speak truths. He speaks lies.

Truth. And the cruelty is, of course, the point.

This about sums it up. But make no mistake, those in power who claim to follow Christ would have Him arrested on spot if Rapture *did* happen yesterday. That brown skin and “foreign” tongue would do Him in.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Tonight’s late agenda. Turn off social media. Tune out madness of life. Rewatch my favorite #movie from 2024: “Flow.” Thank you @criterion.bsky.social! #FilmSky #Movies Wait, shit, did I miss Rapture?? Did it *miss* me???? Shit!!

I'm gladly sharing this link. No comment I can make would hold any weight next to those living in the #autism community. Please read. And damn the bullsh*ters to hell. (Is that a comment? 👀)

Likely scenario: Kenvue, maker of Tylenol, didn’t give any or not enough money to Trump’s coffers. Once they do, the “link” will suddenly disappear. Then onto the next blackmail job.

OLIVER: “I’d argue @disney & Bob Iger need to stand by @jimmykimmel and his staff — history is also going to remember the cowards who knew better. Giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him go away, it just makes him come back hungrier each time.” 🎯

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

"Bacon every morning." I support this message. 😋 And, my God, remember having a President brimming with compassion, kindness, genuineness, humor? Willing to squat down to talk to an elderly lady eye-to-eye. Humanity. Love. Is that a thing never to happen again for the U.S.? I fear so.

Donald Trump is the toddler who wakes up in his crib, his diaper having fallen off during the night, and smears his hands in how own shit, and then "paints" the nearby wall. No logical reason. The shit is there. The wall is there. And smear he must.

Women's rights are human rights Immigrant rights are human rights Trans rights are human rights Disabled rights are human rights Queer rights are human rights Black rights are human rights Brown rights are human rights Yellow rights are human rights Indigenous rights are human rights Not complex.

I know nothing about this gentleman, but his quip at end brilliantly and succinctly describes life under Trump: “The U.S. Constitution is now only available as a paid subscription.” If you pay Trump enough, you can do anything or be anything, but you have to pay and you have to submit. Facts.

Currently at Remembrance walk in Roanoke VA for National Suicide Prevention Month. It’s mind boggling I haven’t done this before. Here now for my souse of 19 years. #mentalhealth #suicideprevention

Marble #cat is by my elbow and ready to watch a late movie. Likely starring Robert Redford, who may or may not have loved cats, but certainly was a damn fine filmmaker. #FilmSky #Movies @cats.bsky.social
