Above average sentient being (on good days) and creative. Retired. Alarmed by this authoritarian rise-doing what I can. Our diversity IS our strength! Reading The Chalice and The Blade/Riane Eisler. Love BlueSky camaraderie-blocking suspicious followers.

We shall see.
Call them.
Call *them every day...twice a day...just don't stop calling. Make it a game! Make it your daily tradition whilst having a coffee!

*and you know who they are

pay attention..
ICE is Trump Admin Gestapo; violence & deliberate illegal actions on citizens/human rights is clear.
I realize it seems unreal, yet here we are. Photos and videos are important.
Peaceful presence and protest are key. They are looking for 'any' reason to harm and/or detain.

Crimes against humanity is what this lawless administration is doing. Enough.

I agree with all of you on these points.
My retirement days exist of relentless phone calls, protests and constant worry and I often wonder how or if I could move to another country at my age.
The reality we are living in is undeniably alarming. I won't give up. See y'all on 10-18 ☮️💙🙏

I get it! Leaves are naturally beautiful and unique. I like to press and dry them if only to be reminded of their stunning shapes. Your color selections and shapes are a lovely grouping.
Best!

🇺🇦❤️ Three more teenagers returned from occupation to Ukrainian-controlled territory.

Among them is an 18-year-old girl who was forced to study under Russian propaganda, another survived constant shelling and developed heart problems. A 19-year-old boy lost his parents and friends.

The same angles of the eyebrows and eyes and the same distances between them are 'the tell' that this is the same person.

Also..AI is now an issue in our world-which is troubling.

This.
Dear @renoactiongroup.bsky.social
Hi friends, who should we talk to? I see it coming, too. Ideas? Let's brainstorm.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 2d

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

PChristensen🇺🇸🇩🇰🇺🇦🇬🇧 @pchristensenpswc.bsky.social · 1d

Extraordinary! Is it part of a home?

PChristensen🇺🇸🇩🇰🇺🇦🇬🇧 @pchristensenpswc.bsky.social · 1d

Agree..and I hope so.
I think we can probably guess given the president's very obvious mental decline; Miller is feeding directives to Trump because he 'knows' Trump can be manipulated. Many surrounding the president are aware of Trump's incoherence.

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

I also wonder 'if' local reporters have queried whether there were actually any gang members actuall living within that building.
Where is the evidence?!
Is local law enforcement privy to any intelligence & info?
Are journalists in the area learning of any evidence of this horrific strike?

Maybe MTG ought to visit the many countries in Europe where multiple languages are spoken AND accepted.
