#nokings applies to #Obama too, people.

He left office. He is no longer our president.
He is not #royalty.
So stop adoring him uncritically.

He has flaws. We never got the CHANGE we were promised (and desperately needed).
$12M to $70M since leaving office.

Take off HIS crown too, please.

President #Obama was worth $12 million dollars when he left the White House, and he’s worth $70 million today, 9 years later.
. . . according to Wikipedia.

Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.

Dear #media, #pundits , #podcasters , and personalities:
(an unfinished #list )

1. If > half of your posts are promotional, Imma UNFOLLOW you.

2. Reporting what other #news outlets are saying IS NOT NEWS. It’s not even entertaining.

3. Reporting #Sports is NOT news. It’s free advertising.

80 years 🗓️ since the end of WWII, Europe still can’t defend itself.
80 years of growth, peace, and prosperity and they still lack the power to help Ukraine themselves. 💣
They come begging with Zelensky b/c they can’t do it on their own. 🙏🏼
wow, TIL

I lived in the #DistrictofColumbia from 1986 to 2001. I love #WashingtonDC.
Fuck them up DC!
Who are they? coming into our home acting like they have ANY rights?
Make their traffic lights red and make their takeover dead!

I found this card in the gutter on Benefit Street circa 1983.
#JFKjr lived on my block. Who sent him a bday card? Ron? Tom?

Shocked to learn how much #taxmoney goes to #universities annually. Obscene amounts.
$$$$ schools with large endowments
THEY are the graft. #Trump is holding them up for ransom not to to stop the annual flow.
So they pay.

I’ve been part of that world; I never knew #truth #politics #blue #teamblue

“She deserved a rest” is the excuse for #KamalaHarris UTTER abandonment of her supporters after 11/24.
She wrote a book.

Not a rest.
She’s not our leader. Never was. She herself keeps turning down the job. Being a woman of color is irrelevant.

VA dictator Youngkin announces title IX violations leveled by the DOE against 5 school districts.

How and why is the SCOTUS-approved-to-be-demolished-soon DOE issuing violations? Seems easy to deny it.

@vablue.bsky.social please help me understand!

Remember when #Epstein died in a federal prison under President Trump’s control, a popular narrative was that Hillary Clinton had it done!

*Call Disney, we’ve got a fairy tale!*

People believed it. Some still do.

Volunteer butternut vine🌱
Going everywhere
Relocating the radiating vine ends to over top of the pile, I thought “uh oh, it won’t like this.”

Literally a day later it’s like *WHEEEEE!!*

How do people grow this? It’s giving kudzu energy.

Why didn’t OUR boy Joe Biden release the Epstein files?
Why do we all let him off the hook, over and over?
and over?
and over?
Not a peep why didn’t Joe Biden release the files.

Almost 50 years of paying attention has taught me:

Trump to red state governors sounds just like Oprah:
“YOU get a prison”
“YOU get a prison”
“YOU get a prison.”
Big Butthole Bill provides unlimited funds! $50 million! $100 million?
Jeez those tent cities cost a lot for tents.

Quoting the Dalai Lama is the modern equivalent to the racist “Confucius say . . .” from the 20thC.

Both cases, the user’s ignorance of the religion allows their racist belief the quote is enlightened, or cute.

“Dalai lama say” (squints eyes and bows)

*Rock Rooted* by Elver A. Barker 1964

aka Carl B. Harding, officer of the Mattachine Society. From as early as 1955, in articles and actions, he promoted coming out for visibility.

It is said he likened bristlecones to homosexuals - survivors.

Why can’t a senator ask questions at an official press conference?
THAT is what Democrats should to be doing! Confront these liars on camera WHEN they are working their media manipulation.
Brilliant.

🌱This trellis I made this week is from my own bamboo and zip ties. Easy to build and take down. (I started over once.) Strong.
Cukes @ one end; ‘maters at the other. How high will they grow?!
I ❤️bamboo so much. 🌱#gardening #bamboo #vegetables #virginia #dogs
