From @aaronparnas.bsky.social:

As an alum of the @uarizona.bsky.social, I was extremely happy to read that the UofA refused to sign trump’s authoritarian “compact”.

BRAVO!!!!!

(Bear down, Arizona…🤩)

Best from an American ExPat in Norway!

“Eurovision members to vote on whether to exclude Israel”

Bravo to Ireland and Spain and others for putting pressure on the members to consider taking action.

Have you watched the movie China Town? I did recently.

The movie revolves around restricting water in reservoirs around LA.

During a dramatic scene where the water gets “turned on” during the night I had to yell:

OMG, could Chinatown be the basis for Trump’s wacky Water Faucet fixation?

Hey, those awesome TUBAS and trombones in Atlanta were playing the Italian resistance song Bella Ciao!!

I first heard it on the Spanish series Money Heist. It got stuck in my head and I purchased a version of it on iTunes.

I love that that’s the song they were playing in Atlanta!

I was an atheist growing up in the public school system in Phoenix in the 70s/80s and my friends were all varying degrees of religious.

Every day we had to say the pledge but at some point I stopped saying Under God. By high school I was saying the Mat Groening version of the pledge.

PROTEST RALLY IN OSLO, NORWAY!

Today, we came together in Oslo, in front of the Parliament, to protest what is happening back in our homeland.

Obama is also here this evening to speak at a ticketed event so the date was partly chosen to coincide (but is not at all affiliated) with it.

Remember this?

(Finally, the @nytimes.com didn’t mince words … a bit too little too late but it was an important front page)

For those who thought it hyperbole:

DO YOU BELIEVE HIM NOW?

What a thin-skinned wittle baby!!!!

The scary part of this farce is it’s clear trump grasps for anything to use to employ more fascism & totalitarianism.

So sick of that cruel and unusual asshat.

This is the email I got about it

Effing scary, Gestapo sh*t!

Yes! I am here trying to put this warning out there!

I got this email and (even as an American) it scared me!

I got this scary email today from US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Sadly, people need to scrub their SM to stay safe 🥺

Another way to go after legal immigrants, as per an email I got today:

“Today US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin considering aliens’ antisemitic activity on social media and the physical harassment of Jewish individuals as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests”
