I'm off to No Kings in Seattle and doing my best to look non-threatening today. Objectives are: 1] make my voice heard, and 2] don't get shot. 🌞

PS: my hat says Shameless Hussy on it but it's not easy to read so I doubt it will draw any aggro. 😏

Cheers to everyone out there! ❤️

MAGA craves engagement and attention. Don't give it to them.

The Christian right, too--same thing. They want conflict so they can feel persecuted and become martyrs.

Ignore them. Pointedly.

Trump announced recently that the US has destroyed a submarine carrying drugs 🤔 and I thought "Well, it's about time they got that thing. It's been on YouTube forever." 😏

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” The Young Republicans chat isn’t a coincidence. It’s a culture.

@emilygarnell.bsky.social and I are going to the No Kings event in Seattle with friends who are pro-due process and democracy and fundamental human rights. 🥰 Cheers to making our voices heard!

I went to Amsterdam recently and the National Holocaust Museum there. Visitors were allowed to write messages about their experience.

As I left a warning to others about the unfolding catastrophe in the US, I realized several other Americans had as well.

May we change course soon.

The Algorithms That Dictate Our Lives Are Not Neutral

Algorithms are not apolitical tools that simply improve efficiency in online transactions or workplace coordination. They are instruments of control and should be regulated like other tools of control...

This should be front page news everywhere. "Trump has $20 billion to bail out authoritarian buddy, but your children getting SNAP benefits is a bridge too far."

It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.

So much for “America First.”
