Willfully, cheerfully deaf and blind, all the systemic racists can just fuck off.

The whites are literally arguing it's literally *unconstitutional* if they're not OVERREPRESNTED in Congress.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

The way 75% of US Forest Service employees is also highly suspect and took planning. Funds ripped from legally appropriated, but now halted, Biden era programs are being used to pay for energy extraction, mining, logging and select recreation. It warrants a closer look.

May the Federalist Society and Mitch McConnell rot in hell forever. The current Supreme Court is the beginning and end of the coup destroying our nation and the Constitution.

My provider tells me all generics are the same. Which makes me want to tear my hair out, & not trust her. But changing pcp's isn't easy. The clinic pharmacy only carries real Vyvanse but my insurance only pays for a generic. Most pharmacies were out. The 1 I could get felt like razors in my throat.

A photo of the Virgin of Guadelupe at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, Santa Fe NM. Underneathnis a sign which reads
Here, one by one, the names and ages of 68,225 Palestinians murdered in Gaza since Oct. 1, 2023 are read out loud, day and night.

The names of 831 Israelis and others who died on Oct. 7, 2023 are also read.

We grieve together for all lives lost.
We say their names
SO AS NOT TO FORGET.

This sacred action was started bt people in the Netherlands and has been done all over the world.
Peace Salam Shalom

Howdy all! ABQ needs more rain. I went to SF Mon to help read out names of Gaza dead. 5 days & nights, but we didn't finish. Which seems fitting. It was very sacred & powerful, organized by Jews, hosted by a Catholic church.

Need to get some work done, but there's a cat on my lap. RIP my plans!

And now there's a fire reported to be burning at Joshua Tree. Great job GOP.

Trump’s decision to keep national parks open during the shutdown may seem like an attempt to accommodate U.S. travelers. But it just makes parks dangerous for remaining staff, visitors, & ecosystems, & is a pretext to further crush a debilitated workforce.
@whitneycwimbish.bsky.social reports:

Opening Parks During Shutdown Part of Plan to Ruin Them

The Trump administration is selling out America’s national parks. Keeping them open during the shutdown makes them dangerous, filthy, and easier to seize.

Buenas Dias MJ et al! I was up too early for work, but work! I'm sad that the hummingbirds seem to have moved south. Aspens in the Sandias are finally turning, balloons are in the sky, & I'm grateful for cooler nights but want more, still doesn't feel like Fall.
