@ruthbenghiat.bsky.social is a pearl.

If this isn't enough to get you steamed, insulted, & ready to act, there may be no hope for you - & if there's no hope for you, there is no hope for US/us.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

👽 🇺🇸 🛸 Ashland Oregon showed up loud and luminous. Folks with paint and purpose, signs and smiles, saying tyranny’s not welcome here. Even a green alien joined the march. Democracy’s alive, baby, and it’s still dancing barefoot in the street.

In Ashland, Oregon, two protesters stand at a street corner holding neon green signs. One reads “Tyranny is at our door!” and the other says “Stand up for veterans, seniors, democracy.” A car idles behind them as sunlight pours through the trees.

Downtown Ashland, Oregon, citizens gather beneath autumn leaves holding handmade cardboard signs that read “Obedience is not patriotism” and “Nothing is more American than opposing a tyrant.” The crowd stands calm, united, and unafraid.

In Ashland, Oregon, a man laughs as he’s “carried away” by someone in a bright green inflatable alien suit while others protest nearby. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival banner waves above the street as people cheer and hold signs.

Everyone sing along!

🎶Don’t cry for us, Argentina.
We’re like Canada, only much meaner.
And we gave up healthcare,
For your peso to be finer,
So you could steal our soybean exports.
That went to China.🎶

I have read the Bolton indictment. I am thoroughly unimpressed by these allegations. If this manages to make it to trial and a conviction, DOJ just opened a Pandora’s Box for future Administrations to go all out after all senior officials’ handwritten notes every time there is a change in power.

The GOP can call it "enhanced subsidies" or "entitlements" but it's healthcare for Americans. The GOP wants tax cuts for billionaires & millions dying on the streets. They don't want people to have agency, to vote, to be educated, to be healthy. A desperate populace= easy to control . Fascism 101
