This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump’s first appearance in the New York Times was when the Nixon Justice Dept. sued him and his father for refusing to rent apartments to black people.

My son was very ill in hospital more than twenty years ago.
A nurse looked in and offered to make us some tea. I said don't worry. She came back a little later with tea and biscuits all set out on a tray. I asked if she wasn't busy. She said 'Oh, I was on my way home'. Never forgotten it.

One of my cats waits around corners, then jumps up against the wall and comes at you about waist height. Catches me every damn time...
You've got a beautiful cat.

“You’re so lucky! I wish I didn’t have to work!”

People act like we’re getting a permanent vacation.

The reality is we are forced to live in legislated poverty.

Barred from earning or marrying without losing our meagre benefits.

Denied autonomy.

And we’re sick & in pain.

It’s a 24/7 job.

If we got rid of the billionaires:
1. Wars would stop.
2. Monopolies would fall.
3. Working people would get a huge benefit in return for taxes we pay.
4. Wages would go up and prices would come down.
5. Rights and legal protections would be upheld.
6. Nobody would be above the law.

In the last 5+ years, we should’ve instituted clean indoor air beginning in schools & hospitals, ensured doctors & healthcare workers wear good masks, & properly informed the public abt airborne transmission & the true dangers of COVID. Instead the gov’t opted for basically pretending it all away.

This is something a lot of white people don't get about segregation...the GI bill did not apply to anyone not white until legislation passed for it much later.

Wine is my muse @timothyjones.bsky.social · 20h

My Grandfather fought in WW2. While the GI Bill lifted an entire generation of White vets, he was unable to obtain a GI Home Loan or a college education. Racial discrimination was legal in banking and education...and there weren't enough Black colleges to serve the demand. Reparations are due

At work, started an e-mail. Outlook offered Copilot "AI" to draft my e-mail. Provided Copilot the 2 sentences that I wanted to communicate. Copilot added a salutation, reworded my 2 sentences and added the ending, "Thank you for your attention to this matter." 😆 Sharing the laugh. 🙂

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
