Just going through my #tiktok , pissing off the Nazis as usual.

Ran across this recording and listened again. I’m super proud of this #cover, y’all. This is my interpretation of #creep by #radiohead.

Open Mic was a blast! The reaction to this particular piece was so strong, I figured I’d share it again.

Enjoy “A Haiku For Benadryl.”

Trump has authorized foreign military equipment presence on a U.S. Air Force base.

We’ve helped train the pilots of our allies for decades, but this incoming mass of foreign military equipment and soldiers is unprecedented.

And they “can’t afford” healthcare tax credits.

I have a question for the #Republicans.

Who is the mob?

“The can’t face their rabid base.”

You mean the American people they’ve been elected to represent? You mean the pissed off citizens who just realized you’re trying to double their already stratospheric healthcare costs?

That’s the “rabid base?”

It’s giving “mob rule” elitist vibes.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Kristi Noem called country singer Zach Bryan’s anti-ICE ballad “disrespectful” and the White House accused him of wanting to “Open The Gates to criminal illegal aliens.”

Comics, musicians, artists, scholars are always public targets of authoritarian regimes. This regime is no different.

Required reading:

“Performative allyship can obscure the need for deeper struggle and pacify calls for justice. It often shifts the spotlight away from oppressed people – marginalized, Indigenous, and especially Black voices – and onto White comfort, or worse, White privilege.”

🧵So, punishment for sin should be government regulated, but care for the needy should not. Exercising moral punishment is the province of government, exercising moral works of service is not.
Make it make sense.

Of course, hypocrisy is the cornerstone of conservatism AND Catholicism, so no shock.

Beck The Feminist Lawyer @beckduff.bsky.social · 1d

🧵This is what baffles me about conservative Catholics. When asked why abortion should be outlawed, they say that the government should reflect the gospel. Asked why taxes can’t pay for healthcare, they say that charity should be left to the church. Should the government reflect the gospel or not?

Beck The Feminist Lawyer @beckduff.bsky.social · 1d

“The fact that some dismiss or ridicule charitable works, as if they were an obsession on the part of a few and not the burning heart of the church’s mission, convinces me of the need to go and reread the Gospel, lest we risk replacing it with the wisdom of this world.”

Pope Leo condemns economies that marginalize the poor while the wealthy live in a bubble of luxury

Ambitious introversion is really wanting to do all the things while simultaneously hoping all the things get cancelled.

US president Donald Trump appeared confused by a question over the possible suspension of habeas corpus, during an “antifa roundtable” event at the White House attended by conservative influencers.

Country music was always the music of rebellion. It wasn’t until recently that it became the home of bootlickers.

Raider @iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · 2d

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.
