Better yet — he was also a microbiologist for the VA. He helped the USA move forward in medical science after fighting in WW2. Even won awards for his research & clinical contributions.

Cut to me cataloging a portion of the 300+ toothpicks holders my grandpa collected when he returned from fighting on Normandy Beach in WW2.

Many disabled people couldn’t attend No Kings because of accessibility and/or safety issues.

ICE has a history of targeting and abusing the disabled … because we’re easy targets

The Nazi’s did the same. Called us “useless eaters”

Tested the gas chambers on us

Disability justice is anti fascist!

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities

Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

Of course I find my FAVORITE mushroom today while out on the town protecting democracy — 1st lion's mane of the year! #HericiumErinaceus

Another set from #FrederickMD today. 🚫👑🪧 #NoKings!

Thank you to @indivisiblefredmd.bsky.social for working to make this happen!

A black protest sign with a green smiling frog in the middle. There are flies around the frog with the following names on them: Miller, Trump, Vought, Thiel

A white man with the white beard in a Uncle Sam outfit holding a protest to sign that says I am antifa Black lives matter LGBTQ anti-communist pro America We the people Anti-Trump no kings!

A few protest signs being held at foot level. The one in the front says small dick-tator energy. Next to it is a drawing of Trump with a penis face.

Lots of people at a protest with signs. The one in the front says healthcare is a human right. It is in black lettering on a quilt pattern.

I'd estimate about 2.5-3k people in attendance. Good job, #FrederickMD ✅

#NoKings 🚫👑🪧

Protest sign in front of lots of other people with protest signs. It says we're not being paid Donnie you just can't comprehend having moral and a spine.

A guy in a space suit inflatable costing with a sign that says The only ice I'm interested in are the Martian ice caps.

A guy in a black T-shirt at a protest holding an American flag and an open mouth with red lips inside of it says free speech save it

Protest sign that says I like my country like my Scotch no ice

So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

And like — I'm an atheist now, and my Jewish upbringing wasn't wholly laudable — but I'm incredibly grateful to have been raised in an environment that ENCOURAGED me to ask questions and challenge doctrine.

Rachel K. (Tala) @talaattanagra.bsky.social · 10d

I remember conversations w/ our Rabbi on how Jews are cohesive amid external threats—how we should focus on being cohesive regardless of externalities.

Yet some of my Christian friends were actively discouraged from perceiving this phenomenon + encouraged to victimhood?

Wishing a meaningful Indigenous Peoples Day to all!

I live on land between/shared by(?): Piscataway, Susquehannock, Massawomeck, and Mannahoac nations.

Check whose land you inhabit ➡️ native-land.ca. Consider supporting that group, or getting to know them by attending any of their public events.

A scene from the TV show *The Good Place*. In the first frame, Janet is smiling and raising her finger while saying, “Fun fact: Columbus is in the Bad Place.” In the second frame, she continues smiling and says, “because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide.” Michael looks surprised beside her, and Chidi is facing them, seen from behind.
