I began at X posting mostly classical music (PhD. musicology/singer/conductor) and baseball (Let's go Mets!), gardening and old movies...Events drove me into anti-Trumpist, Anti-MAGA posting. Will block bots, sea lions, anything that smacks of AI, disinfo, scams, fakery, disingenuous rhetoric, etc.

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

🚨🚨 @utaustin.bsky.social is working to eliminate its Black studies, Latin studies, and gender studies depts -- utterly reneging on its mission and depriving students of the full educational opportunities they deserve. Please--scholars AND publishers--share & write to UT leaders. #SaveUT

So when Dad became aware of this and made eye contact (such as it was) with the bird, the bird looked right back at him, and coolly said "Hello!" 😂🤦

Random pop-up memory: my dad used to frequent wetlands sanctuaries in South Florida to watch and sometimes photograph birds. He used to run into another photog who came with a big macaw parrot. One say while dad was focusing on some wildlife, this macaw tried to help itself to his keys and watch. 🤦😂

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide.

Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...
