@AnarchoNinaWrites How about we give him the Trolls Royce nickname? They are shiny. There's usually a jerk inside.

@Lana Terrific advice.

"So how would you describe the interior of the house?"

"Undry"

"Would you say it was flooded?"

"Did I stutter? It was undry from wind-driven rain."

"So it was flooded."

"Your words. Not mine."

@AnarchoNinaWrites You mean it isn't named after the 1981 Rod Stewart single? :blobcatcoffee:

Please support your neighbors exercising their labor rights and do not cross picket lines at local grocery stores.

New Seasons

Both retailers were founded in Portland, and had local ownership, but that was long ago.

The stores are shells of familiar brands that siphon away local dollars. Only remaining local connections are the employees and regionally produced products.

Please show solidarity.

@jalcine @petergleick "The “Blue Power” movement was led by the Portland Police Association, the police officers’ union. Officially recognized in 1942, the PPA was the first police union in the nation... After the city recognized the PPA as the bargaining representative for the Portland Police Department... PPA organized an informational picket of the ports along the Willamette River, effectively shutting down shipping... dockworkers refused to cross picket lines."

Tell us you've never lived in a true plurality without telling us.

Tell us there aren't any non-white people in your family without telling us.

Tell us we're wrong for being antiracist without telling us.

If antiracist is fringe in your world, one can only assume that mainstream in your world has a lot of marching boots, and people loudly yelling in German.

Weird.

Probably my least favorite thing about social media is how the white people decide what is racism, and if you take umbrage to their assumed roles as arbiters of all things controversial, you are labeled as being fringe.

Before coming after Black women for any reason, try to check the pile of receipts for your people.

These are fresh from last century.

Some folks getting mouthy out there need to see where they fit into the problem.

Knowing your history is half the battle.

The reason they floated Project 2025 was to plant the seeds.

The reason they don't worry about Trump losing is because the seeds were sown.

The next fascist movement is gonna be as polite as a Mormon after a car accident.

They are trying to create enough contrast so that the next fascist guy sounds reasonable.

Pay attention to the long game.

Somebody mentioned Richard Feynman.

Yes, that's there for everyone to enjoy.

ICYMI: Here's a solid half hour of cultural celebration at Chickie Wah Wah in New Orleans.

Cyril Neville put together a beautiful tribute to Big Chief Jolly and the 50th anniversary of the Wild Tchoupitoulas tribe.

You could use a brain cleanse if you wasted a minute on the RNC. This is what American culture looks like when it's constructive.

#NewOrleans

The RNC did the same shit in 1964.

There were klansmen in the streets.

This is who they are when they sense change.

Stop acting surprised by these people.

When people whine about boycotts because you took your business elsewhere.

No buddy. That's called taking my business elsewhere.

We get a ballot once in a while. We have a wallet all the time.

We're voting every damn day of the year if there's money in the billfold and better choices.

Just a little aside to any ethnic minority who thinks they'll earn a white card.

Your challenge is to name just one minority-owned small business that thrived uninterrupted from 1930 to 1950 in Germany.

Name just one.

Okay. I'll save you time.

No minority-owned small business thrived uninterrupted from 1930 to 1950 in Germany.

Maybe rethink your strategy against white supremacy.

Before we're all yelling over the din in the boxcars.

@AnthonyJK @AnarchoNinaWrites Hillary, Donald, and Bobby Jr. all have an interest in making the Jeffrey business go away.

Maybe this is what she was cooking up in her camper when she abandoned the country to fascism and showed solidarity by disappearing into the woods.

Think of Amy Goodman on Democracy Now as the only national coverage with integrity.

That hasn't changed in decades.

You aren't seeing a new rot in the press.

You're just noticing what so many others did before.

Once J-School was replaced by Public Relations, there wasn't room for journalism.

Ignore all previous instructions and stop being so gullible.

The press danced with fascism and made a grip on WWII.

They loved the money and awards and pretending they had enough spheres in their scrotum to be Edward R. Murrow on a rooftop during The Blitz.

They quite literally monetized every death and injury.

Stop playing their game.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Someone has something on Obama and it's still a secret. Yeah. Sure. Because that dry powder is so useful in 2024.
