So if I properly understood Trump‘s speech tonight, under his Presidency he failed to stop hackers from committing the worst election fraud in US history & let them steal the 2020 election—& in response—he wants us to reward his incompetence with even More power & authority🤔 Yeah no thanks, fascist

This I look forward to seeing -

Yup.

Ewch, Norwy! Gå, Norge! Cheering also in honor of my Welsh-Norwegian Gram, who was the anchor baby for her mother who immigrated on her own, age 16 in 1901, and the first grandchild for her Welsh immigrant family.

Yup.

Helpful read about impact on states’ administering/controlling their own budgets - yet another Vought cultural and legislative grab.

Thousands of Trump supporters on the National Mall ordered to evacuate from the thunderstorm have sought shelter inside the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Y'all...

Of course they did. (And reminds me to go check Internet Archive - and to up my monthly donation.)

I'm thinking "Rank Hypocrisy" could become a Wordmark or tagline at the bottom of official stationary/email signatures for the Trump family and its businesses...

Rest in power, social justice activist and teacher.

ICE deported 146 Venezuelans from Miami. Hours later, twin earthquakes swallowed their hotel. Over 100 are still missing. Yet Jean Sosa — one of those deportees — has already pulled 20 people alive from the rubble with his bare hands. They called him a threat. Remember his name. True hero.

I love days when I get to answer “What did you do today?” queries with “I spent the day with Woke Justice.”

I grew up in Mankato with the “here were hanged” marker on a prominent corner. My 4th grade Minnesota history questions about the who and why of that event got me a scolding: “too young to understand,” and my parents a phone call to suggest my questions were disruptive. And… 1/3

in these months of scary sh*t, this chills my bones, pains my brain, and squeezes my heart.

Love the bus shelter posters that speak my internal streaming thoughts aloud 😎😇🥳

Yup. That’d be helpful.

Yup.

Looking forward to the day teaching center directors and staff publicly sound more like all the booing students (and their teachers) despite provostal edicts.

I’m so with these students as they boo the presence of AI, and then cheering as speaker references it’s not having had this presence a few years ago.

Yes‼️ This💜

Spot on reporting from The Guardian on this Earth Day.

Queen Elizabeth prolly shopped at a store and used money from her own handbag more often in her life than Trump has in his years.

True Ilene-Dawn. From the earliest times, those with power & wealth have gained, maintained & grew that wealth & power by dividing & conquering the masses. Ancient rulers began the practice of creating & promoting variance & fear in order to use individual groups as pawns in their live chess game. 🤬

Capitalism, the primary tool in wealth accumulators’ box of tricks for setting up the host of systemic “othering” practices and categorizations they set up to diminish our trust in each other.

Funny how the degrees that "don't pay off" are linked to fields that are consistently undervalued and therefore underpaid in US culture generally - education, social work, psychology - and most needed to support the development of thinking and mental health among most financially rewaredd positions.

Pinball Lizard @stevesack.bsky.social - another of Minnesota’s gifts to the world.

Yup

With Jesse Helms as Senator “No” - major obstructionist enacting any tactics that would enact his ideological opposition to liberal policies and pretty much any “mainstream” legislation, then 🍊🌮47 is President No with added dashes of cruelty and self aggrandizing necro-capitalism.

Yeah, this.

Yup. This.

Also: What if I told you ICE is right now going after anyone who isn’t a white cis maga citizen with immigrant lineage that is pre-1890 and European (with pre-1700 even better - and if you’re trans or black or brown or indigenous or immigrant, they’ll villainize you first.

A “great honor” to kill people and environments, and to destroy countries and cultures - so says a US president who is the most vile being, the most disgusting enabler of others’ villainy since whites began colonizing the Americas.

Excellent Guardian report on UN panel's report regarding 47's "broad and viscous invective." Many of the hyperlinks are worthy follow on reading.

The whole document - and why project 2025 is scary beyond this decade.

This, too 🤬👇

A little music for the day - about a “gobshite orange tyrant…who’s thick as turf and rump.” Thank you, Sligo Bandits.

“Aliya Rahman, who was forcibly removed from her car by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is removed from the chamber during U.S. President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.” I’m not seeing reporting on this - anyone know the details? #STFU #SOTU

The names she has a right to know.

Unhinged - in a self-serving way.

“These people are crazy” - points to Dems not standing for his transphobic gibber. “Democrats are destroying our country.Thankfully we’ve put a stop to that.” #STFU #SOTU

“should be my third term” - #STFU #SOTU

Yup, this is a #STFU #SOTU

And the GOP claps for something that impacts large numbers of families in their base - oh, wait, they’re clapping for their other base - the corporations that pay poverty wages, boost bottom lines, and collect new tax breaks. #SOTU

“We ended DEI in America.” His out loud part. Our out loud part: “And committed to a kakistocracy.” #SOTU

What does the GOP do as Rep Al Green is escorted from the front of the chamber after his sign "Black People Aren't Apes" is torn down? They break into USA USA USA chant as endorsement for/distractor from the expulsion. Shame. #SOTU

Any one else counting number of times “like no one has seen before” he drops? #SOTU

Fetterman up front and shaking 🍊🌮hand 🤦‍♀️ - ewww

💜Amazing show - thankful for the live stream bringing joy and rebellion right into my flat. And a world of gratitude for all the streamers raising donations for neighbors across this state I love to the bones of me.

Yup - oof.

Give light, and the younger generation will lead (to paraphrase Miss Ella Baker).
