Maga/GOP fear journalists, because they fear the facts and the truth. The first thing dictators do and have done for hundreds of years, is suppress the press. It's why our founders have freedom of speech/press, in our constitution.
A reminder my degree is in journalism. I've studied this. Have you?

Trump to Zelensky: You are showing us disrespect. We are heading towards World War III, you have no right to play with it. You should be grateful. It will be very difficult to run a business like this...
Notice what Trump says. "business"...not a nation. Business.

I'm being forced to change doctors because of our heathcare system. The doctor I've had 20 years, no longer covered. Now me and others are scrambling to find new doctors.
Tell me again how much better this private system is? Oh, it's only good for the healthcare insurance companies? You don't say.

This line from Ahsoka sticks with me.
The Empire was always a stand-in for fascism. Lucas has said so. Given the GOP, now controlled by MAGA, is fully embracing Fascism and all the hate that goes with it. I made this. (PS. Ahsoka is an amazing series!!!!)

Posted this at the old place, but thought folks on @bsky.app might like to know I finally met my "mother".

I'd reminded, especially Christians, of the story of the Good Samaritan. If your religion of politics teaches you to discriminate, then you are learning hate.
Also, don't go into medicine.

I don't expect asshole politicians to understand the difference between legally innocent and morally corrupt. Both can be true.

I'm a horrible person, I laughed to hard at this.

As man, we are sometimes commented on being handsome, but only at certain times and occasions, such as in a tux before prom or a wedding. However women get commented on their looks all the time, and this tells you a lot about how we perceive genders, and what we value from them, as a society.

Nothing beats good map porn.
When you are forced daily to work with and interact with different faiths, cultures, races, and ways of thinking, you tend to have more blue. Conservatism's core value is sameness. Like what smaller rural towns/cities are.

Republicans don't like income equality, because they've been fed a lie that "they too can be the 1%"...without realizing it's the 1% for a reason. AOC is right here.

I personally love when Musk talks sci-fi and doesnt realize all the warnings are almost exclusively about somebody like him fucking us all over.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD

As a follow up to my last post. I love this quote from #Ahsoka
"The relationship between a master and apprentice is as challenging as it is meaningful." - Huyang
...Quigon>Obiwan>Anakin>Ahsoka>Sabine
What a linage!
I think about that a lot. #StarWars #Disney+

Excited to hear that #ahsoka is going to start Season 2 photography in Spring 2025. The show is so good. I love how its a continuation of Star Wars: Rebels story with Thran.
But more importantly, I love the relationship between Ahsoka and Sabine Wren.

Found online. 45-year attack on education is working out well for the GOP: "45 million Americans are functionally illiterate, and a far greater number are unable to properly process complex written or spoken information. In that climate, a compelling lie is almost impossible to overcome."
