Anti-Fascist Hippie
@austinhippiechick
Child of the paradise that was 1960s Austin; descendant of America's original pasty-faced immigrants & real cowboys; retired criminal law lawyer once double board certified in TX. I have an M.A. in English. I'm a poet, breast cancer survivor, wife, & mom.
Arizona state gov't is dead last in gov't ethics. Judge & the late AG Brnovich are terrible public servants. AG Brnovich liked to swing nunchucks during office hours & filed deceptive pleadings to help MAGA state legislators obtain our ballots, in violation of voter privacy rights in the AZ Const.
All our leaders & the entire fossil fuel/energy sector has known, for a fact, since well before 1979, that we had to go green ASAP to save the Earth. And ourselves. 1979 is when true American patriots working for We the People should have insisted. 47 yrs later . . . Trump blows up the world's oil!
That was also true since at least 1979, and everybody who has made a dime on fossil fuel since 1979 knew that. Thanks to Reagan, we went the wrong way.
During chemo infusions in 2023, I sat for hours in the same kind of hospital chair in which Mitch is pictured. At the time, I was very sick, just under 5'6" & 112 pounds. However, I seem to take up more room, side to side, than Mitch did. Its hard to tell with pillows/blankets in the way.
I'm reading that Miss Lindsey has moved on to the 24/7 Authoritarian Dance Party in Hell. Hard to believe someone so ridiculous & craven has gotten so many beautiful human beings murdered by enabling Temu Hitler.
"Hell is other people." Mitch gets to spend eternity in a waiting room filled with mutant MAGAs.
For 100 yrs, the FBI identified the KKK as a bunch of criminals.
The July 4 Racist Boys did not go over well with me. For 100 years, the gov't considered the Klan an enemy within. It's all still up there on the FBI website. Take screenshots while you can!
The Giants players who protested Pride Day are the quintessence of mediocrity. This is probably a scam to sue the team for religious discrimination if DFA'd, which seems probable at this point.
Had this book come out today, it would be a MAGA Outrage Machine Talking Point. Back when, this wasn't controversial at all.
Trump just blasted out there that he was still in military high school at the age of 20. Pass it on.
Marble rolls around in that exact same spot every day. And, yes, she is a gal of generous proportions.
Anybody remember this from SNL prior to Trump's election?
It's been known for over 100 yrs that fossil fuels foul the air and water. That's more than a century of gov't subsidies, lying, bribing politicians, and using the CIA & the US military to topple other countries' gov'ts, all for oil.
fbi.gov forgot to remove the history of J. Edgar Hoover taking down the KKK. www.fbi.gov/history/case.... Better copy the text while it's still up.
I like this version of the $250 dollar bill that no one will ever use. Can you break a $250? No? Shucks, now I can't leave a tip. 🙄 The Sleeping Pedophile & War Criminal/Criminal Against Humanity Bill will go the way of the $2 bill.
Pro-fascist news outlets (& Google AI) are spewing lies about Trump's UFC fights -- calling it "historic" when it's illegal. CBS/Paramount+ will televise this tasteless, illegal event, of course.
Trump is 6'3", despite what his official NY driver's license says, 6'2".
So a MAGA overhears us & dives in, arguing with me about my own lived experience. Then came the MAGA Talking Points, & he wouldn't take "OK" as an answer. Everybody should read "The Land of Open Graves." Immigration policy has been cruel & deadly for decades. Tuscon has a 2nd ME's office now.
There wasn't enough room in the NYT crossword puzzle for my initial reaction to the clue Amazon snake: JEFF or BEZOS.
Has Beelzebezo ever seen the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
Americans don't realize we've been price gouged for decades. Portions get smaller while prices go up. Apparently, we pay a lot more for Coca Cola than an Iranian does. When was the last time you paid 30-60¢ for a Coke? And why should Americans pay more for everything, including drugs? Ca-ching!
This might have something to do with Christians peeling off:
I'm fairly certain that AI & robots can't replace human beings. Google coughed up an answer I never asked for about chemo brain fog. I feel like Google is fucking with breast cancer survivors now.
American border policy has been cruel for decades. Desperate people were funneled though a deadly desert, where so many have died, as was the plan since the 1990s. It's so bad that a second coroner's office was set up near Tuscon to I.D. all the dead. MAGA voted down Bush's border reform bill. Sick.
We all know about George Orwell's "1984" (1949). American Sinclair Lewis wrote "It Can't Happen Here" (1935). A gasbag general says, "For the first time in all of history, a great nation must go on arming itself more and more, not for conquest -- not for jealousy -- not for war -- but for peace!"
