@WarnerCrocker we definitely need to see more Dem leaders helping communities organize, stay safe and brainstorm solutions.

Someone posted a video with the caption ‘the wolf is at the door…’ about these times.
No. That’s not right. The wolf is in the house, has reproduced and is in every room of the house defecating everywhere and destroying everything. And have already killed many.

The time is long past. The wolf was welcomed in with open arms, over and over. What are you going to do now?

Took this from another poster who posted without alt text.

Fuck Imperialism.

@FlashMobOfOne @Mikee a man on the bus today wearing a surgical mask, PULLED IT DOWN TO SNEEZE.
Like why do you bother wearing one? Certainly it’s not for any mutual benefit.
Oh you don’t want all your snot spray to hit the mask? You’d rather share it with everyone on the bus instead?

Not the first time I’ve seen people pull down their mask to sneeze or cough.

Instead of privatization we should be doing more publicization…bring more into the commons.
Governments should provide non profit low cost hospitals, dental, housing, health insurance, social media platforms (like have their own fediverse instances) grocery stores, drug stores, gas etc. Of course this is what they feared about communism, but it’s capitalists that feared it. Alternatively Government can choose to fund ONLY non profit independent business & cooperatives with public funds.

The problem with a lot of Americans, the media and corporate culture responsible for it too, is that they confuse ruthlessness with genius.

@richpuchalsky I was just thinking similarly today with how disappointingly business as usual Dems are trying to be bipartisan with actual nazis as if there is ANY common ground, while trying to appear like the good guys for doing that bending towards fascists to work together, instead of obstructing with all their power. They either cannot read the room, the writing on the wall, or get their feet unstuck from the profiteering they’re in.

Delta plane seems to have had a fire in air, crash landed at #Toronto Pearson airport completely upside down in a most unusual crash. All passengers are alive, but some seriously injured.
Really curious to hear what happened.

I’ve lived with the UGLIEST metal horizontal blinds for years, which my landlord didn’t want removed but were already bent & broken when I moved in. I put sheers on top, but it was a mess. Well they got so bad…it was one stupid wide blind…they finally bowed so much, I (finally) decided I wasn’t living with it. Bought magnetic Roman blinds, which reminds me of shoji screens or sails with battens. I love it. And it nicely blocks out the less than attractive view. I love the look.
Also bean update.

Happening now: protest at Treasury with Dem leaders.

David Hogg wins #DNC Vice Chair and I am glad to see it. He’s got the courage to put up a fight in him. The new chair Ken Martin I don’t know much about. But I hope he too has the fight to help the people and counteract Trump moves in him.

So apparently Musk forked the FAA administrator bc he was fining Musk for operating unsafely.

Fork around and find out.
Collision Crash happened after Musk pushed FAA Administrator to resign 9 days ago.

@mekkaokereke

@Gargron she’s sooooo cute!

She is already making my life better though. I am smoking much less weed. I think I am eating somewhat healthier and less, I am walking maybe a bit more, and I am going to keep up doing yoga, though I am terrible at it. I need it. And it helps crate training. Michiko is so much bigger already with long legs, lean body. And wants to follow & befriend every single dog & person she meets. I can’t wait until she can really play in the park. She’s going to love it.

I think we had a crate training breakthrough today…I did some yoga for the first time in years, right next to the crate. And though she howled and whined off and on, she learned to regulate herself, and finally settle and sleep as I ignored her, or occasionally just say it’s okay. Since, I’ve put her in twice, and this last time it was easily with barely a whimper and she fell asleep. I may get a bit of a life back soon. Be able to run errands, get groceries. See the doctor, etc.!

Also, dogs get you on a schedule whether you like it or not. And maybe schedule will be good for me as much as it is for her.
