They are trying to erase Black history. We won’t let them. Thank you to Mindy Oh and Lansdale Historical Society for saving Dr. Boston’s story. I don’t love linking to FB, but for now it is the best option until I can recreate the post/story/pictures on Bluesky www.facebook.com/share/p/15ts...

Meme of the Day

There is nothing dignified about sitting in your chair wearing matching shirts while you watch fascist nazis engage in a coup of the country with no pushback. Those Dem “leaders” are the ones that need a come to Jesus talking to

A list of words that start with ‘trans’ for #47 to start spewing: Transformation?! - I am not wanting to ‘trans’form anything Transparent?! - I am NOT and never will be 'trans'parent. Transportation?! - We need to eliminate all things related to ‘trans’portation effective immediately!!

Watch for "we changed our mind" memo to gain allegiance from victims. Typical abusive relationship - harm/apology/repeat. Victim begins to distrust their own thoughts and view the abuser as someone who simply made a mistake, virtuously owned up to the mistake, and graciously remedied the situation.

Much focus on the current regime = Nazi Germany. I say shift focus to SA Apartheid. Much can be learned from how SA Apartheid ended without a World War. Let's learn what worked in anti-apartheid movements, band together and get outside our comfort zone, and make this work now. www.aamarchives.org

FFS - why not just summarize and say, "we should do whatever it takes to maintain the white supremacist patriarchy status quo." We don't want to win elections for sake of winning. We want to win to create a sustainable and equitable future for the majority. That won't happen with this plan.

(1/4) Wellbeing post of the day: We a lot of work to do - difficult work - and we are the majority. However, there is a general outlook that half of the US wanted the current regime. This is untrue. Only 31.6% of eligible US voters supported the regime on their ballots - far from the majority.

Sen. Duckworth is a pure example greatness

Many are misinterpreting the current regime's greed as financial when it is actually power greed. And #47+1 possesses the most dangerous type of all greed - pathological power greed. Does he care if the world ends? No, as long as he is reigning king when it all goes down.

I sorta wish I needed a tractor

What time is it??

Oh, Buster - exactly what I needed right now

an important read to gain understanding. Please read and share.

@bennet.senate.gov and John Hickenlooper (can't be bothered with Bluesky? ) - you all still around? Asking for a country undergoing a coup.

Tomorrow there’ll be more of us. There has to be Freedom: something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you. And for those that have never had true freedom, I look forward to the day we can raise a glass together

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

It was always about this - spread the conspiracy message to gain power and dump those who got you there once attained.

Halfway-through book review: What a book to be reading on a snowy day in a country being taken over by white nazi fascists. ‘The Power’ by @naomialderman.bsky.social is exactly what I need right now. I hope it ends well because I can’t handle much of any other prospect. #booksky💙📚

I’m skeptical it will be honored. Regardless, if you live in Colorado and resigned due to pressure/hostility/abuse/ethical or moral reasons, you can receive unemployment benefits. Ask me how I know.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed. Although HHS…

In light of the current ban.....

Alexandra Beynon, now part of musk DOGE team, is Dylan Beynon’s wife and head of engineering at Mindbloom online ketamine therapy. Let’s be clear - Musk openly admits to using other drugs along with ketamine. That is not therapy, that is abuse of a drug acquired legally. Follow the corruption $$$

!!!!!!!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ !!!!!!!

Alarming. Beyond alarming. Not surprising, which is also beyond alarming. Someone really needs to remove his sharpie and obsession with the Gulf of Mexico.

My wellbeing post of the day: Whoever played the "Throwing Stones" (Grateful Dead) before the Super Bowl commercial break deserves a raise. Sometimes it's the subtle shit that matters. #IYKYK

My wellbeing post of the day. #IYKYK _____ (I don't know who to give credit to the original image. I added Cartman for good measure)

From a 1928 newspaper. The first one has me curious (olive oil? I will try it) The second has my head spinning and my brain hurts. Or maybe I'm over thinking it?

If Elon Musk's ketamine therapist needs consultation for case conceptualization, I have openings in my schedule.

Teaching Social Psychology is my favorite. The only drawback for teaching it online/asynchronous is my love of experiential learning. I did not have it on my bingo card that a fascist regime would take over and do all the work for me, but here we are. And no, this is not a bright side of things.

My halfway through book review: I am loving The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden so much. So very much. So much so that I might stay up way too late to finish reading. #BookSky📘📚#womenreadingwomen #womenreadinggreatbooks #thesafekeep #yaelvanderwouden #halfwaythroughbookreview

Found this side table randomness amusing (or intriguing) for some reason. If only we could Avada Kedavra some things out of existence, and I don’t mean the US Constitution. Also, time for me to pull out the typewriter and start using again

Goodnight. Recharge. Rest well.

My new piece for Substack: “If we’re going to combat this backlash, we have to build something stronger than outrage alone. Online activism is not enough on its own to win. We need spaces for women in every arena: online, in real life, in activism, in community, and in joy. We need a womansphere.”

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Welcome to my Avenue Jo. It’s lonely, frustrating, and disappointing. But I hold faith that others will join me on the road and block out the bystander noise

Let's amplify those speaking out.

Logging into MOHELA and accepting this standard message as I’ve done 100 times before has a new meaning tonight

Research shows that venting not only has the reverse effect intended (i.e., makes you feel worse in the long run), it also negatively impacts those you are venting and sharing with. Don't fall prey to the flooding of nonsensical tactics. We are in this together and will remain strong.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Musk prime republican voters to believe that the impending price hikes/diminished economy were a duty to endure as part of the greater, long-term good? That is how I saw it. Only problem, he never defined for them who benefits in that greater, long-term good.

The Stockdale Paradox - Holding an unwavering belief that you/we will prevail while facing the brutal facts in front of us. Recently, I was serendipitously introduced to the Stockdale Paradox in Jim Collins' book 'From Good to Great'. Now is the time to understand and employ this concept #resist

I keep thinking of the Trevor Noah interview where he discusses apartheid in South Africa and says they were genius in taking the worst parts of the Holocaust, US Slavery, and others for development. Anyone know this interview? Maybe with Jimmy Fallon? I think it deservers a relisten and attention

For #BlackHistoryMonth we're offering 40% OFF Haymarket Books on the Struggle for Black Liberation

Linus crawled into this broken basket with hole-ridden clothing as if he were quietly trying to be thrown out with the trash instead of living in this reality. I get it. It seems like a preferred option. This is all devastating, dangerous, yet precedent. We can band together and fight this.

People give Steve Bannon credit for the term Flooding, but it has been used in psychology for quite a while. Don't believe that they don't know this. I created a handy infograph for your reading pleasure.

Wouldn’t it be great if all the Federal employees who are encouraged to seek private sector employment banned together and created a new public sector? 🤔

Yep, and it stayed in place! Kids these days will never know the struggle.

Elon sent out another email tonight to federal employees, urging us to resign by February 6. The memo was similar to the one received on Tuesday. As with the previous message, this latest communication fails to address concerns about pensions.
