@aral It's just another example of how Trump's every accusation is a confession.

@Gustodon @thomholwerda A lot of Americans know. But I'd say that shit has yet to hit the fans of the majority of us. There are still too many systems in place allowing most of the population to believe there's a glass panel between their fans and the monkeys throwing the shit.

But when those systems fail.... 🫤

Conversation about impending rise of #chocolate & #coffee prices led to convo with 12yo about #ClimateChange #ClimateDisaster #ClimateBurning.

her *incensed*: and nobody's doing anything about it!

me: well, they are. but the people doing something about it aren't as powerful as the people causing it

her: but don't they get that if the Earth goes to shit, then their businesses go to shit because there's nobody left to buy their shit?!

Out of the mouths of babes, y'all.

@hannu_ikonen It's not just the fault of those in the medical field, though. It's also all politicians and voters who have not supported (or even filed) laws strictly prohibiting these conversion/"reeducation" camps.

We have *got* to mature as a species and deeply commit to no longer destroying each other.

Kirk: My God, Bones. What have I done?

McCoy: What you had to do. What you always do. Turn death into a fighting chance to live.

'Morning, monsters.

Sally forth (or stay in) and do something kind today for someone who can't return the favor. Kindness is anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, and punk.

Be ungovernable.

But.

Polls close in 15 min.

As of 20 min ago, fewer than 160 people in our precinct had voted.

Dear Oklahoma-Cityans:

I don't wanna hear ANY complaining from non-voters about how things are run in this city. If you're eligible but didn't show up for an election *not* fucked over by an electoral college, you don't get to have an opinion about what the elected officials choose to do when in office.

Jiminy Christmas, people.

AREN'T YOU WATCHING THE NEWS SEEING WHAT NOT VOTING DOES?!?

Even when we feel crappy because of a post-flu secondary sinus infection, we still get out and #vote in local and special elections because they change our community.

One of our ballots was for the primary election of county commissioner. The final election will be in April. We need this to lead to major changes concerning the #OklahomaCountyJail, which one of the candidates called "the deadliest jail in the nation."

@futurebird This is the only thing that has truly surprised me over the past few weeks: the huge nr. of people in authority (employers, military commanders, etc.) who've turned out to be asshole bigots who were only implementing DEIA bc [the law] policy forced them to. The instant the [law] policy vanished, so did their willingness to include disabled/non-white/non-male people.

It shouldn't surprise me. But it does. I thought DEIA was welcome bc it *is* better for everyone. Even the assholes.

I don't like it that people refer to Elon Musk as "muskrat." It's an insulting defamation of innocent little muskrats.

I mean, they're so cute?!??? Look at her little gloves and tiny perfect nose?!????! 🥹🥰

Don't do what they tell you to.

Don't do what you *think* they're going to tell you to.

Find reasons to delay.

Find reasons why "it won't work."

Do it slightly wrong, just enough to make it almost work but not.

Do it half-assed in a way that makes it look like you're actually putting in your full effort.

When they want something, make that thing mysteriously disappear.

Smile, nod, ignore.

For the love of all that's good and true and right in this universe, BE FUCKING UNGOVERNABLE.

We will also be learning more about and celebrating #OKCPS Superintendent Dr. #JamiePolk. How thankful I am for her solid leadership!

#BlackHistoryMonth
#CelebrateBlackWomen

One of the things I will be doing is continuing my read of Dr. King's WHY WE CANT WAIT and discussing it with my 12yo daughter. I want her to know the truth in opposition to whatever *additional* whitewashing racist bullshit is about to enter her school curriculum thanks to the USA-Führer and one of his most loyal and fanatical minions, Oklahoma State Superintendent #RyanWalters.

I just finished reading #RadiumGirls by Kate Moore. Highly recommend to *all*.

The whole book has a lot to teach all of us about human nature, capitalism, misogyny, politics, government, history, & medical science. But one specific at the end of the book caught my attention: the dial-painters' lives & deaths led directly to the creation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( #OSHA).

These women's involuntary sacrifices are the reason today's industrial safety standards exist.

...a wealthy white male died of radium poisoning, displaying all the same horrific bodily disintegration the women had suffered before him.

Of course. Of course.

I'm reading #RadiumGirls by Kate Moore. If you've never heard this part of 20th century history, I suggest studying up. These women are a big reason we have worker protections in the USA today -- protections which President Felon's administration is rolling back one by one. Who will become the "Radium Girls" of the 21st century?

Notably, it wasn't just Radium that tortured and killed these women. Capitalism and misogyny were complicit. Authorities didn't really start paying attention until

1/2

We white folks have a responsibility, y'all: to celebrate the absolute hell out of #BlackHistoryMonth -- every year, but this year more than ever as a can't-miss-it sign of our rebellion against this illegitimate fascist government.

This is what happens when a bunch of violently dangerous, bigoted, misogynistic, racist, narcissist Nazis barge into a tournament to "play" a game they know nothing about. The only strategy they have is the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

They've already started shooting,by the way. They're firing into the "audience."

And as @lionelb points out in another section of thread, President Felon "is holding a gun."

I'll add that his buddy Pseudo-VP Musk is sitting next to him also holding a gun.
