Science fiction fan. Witch. Old hippie. I tend not to follow people I don't know in some way. In person is best, even if it was just met once at a con or festival. Love cats but can't have one any more because they are a tripping hazard for me.

my fundamental issue with Wicked is that the brilliance and power of the Wizard of Oz movie (1939) is that *Oz is not a real place*
it is the dream of a young girl whose life is already a tragedy (parents dead) and is going nowhere fast (stuck in Kansas, town controlled by Gulch/Wicked Witch)

One of the drums I am going to keep beating is that the US needs to submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ.
Right now, we live in a time in which the president is immune and can grant immunity to basically anyone he wants. They are acting accordingly.

A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny.

If America thinks it won't have to vote for Kamala again, you are wrong.
Many new former GOP white liberals still will not vote for Kamala but may vote for GOP. So white vote will need to highly scrutinized by neighborhoods and WE MUST ensure the real estate value in those neighborhoods plummet.

ICE agents are going to be getting in trouble for their outlandishly brutal behavior to innocent people, and what will their defense be? “I was ordered to do it.” 👠

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Personal Me: Head’s up, #Minneapolis, if you’re out and about, 🧊 is kidnapping people in Phillips and Central (so far, based on multiple reliable sources). Keep your whistles ready and stay alert.
Attn #Minneapolis people: #ICE is kidnapping neighbors this morning around your south mpls neighborhood in rapid quick grab and runs.
Keep your eyes and ears to the ground. If you see something, call the MONARCA hotline at 612-441-2881 and please continue to record what you see for legal observers.
