Any government wanting to target a demographic for abuse, won’t stop at that one target. Abuse is expansive, totalitarians always abuse more and more people as time goes on. They have to, to hold onto power. Pastor Martin Niemöller learned that the hard way.

You know it’s going to be a good day when the subject of tardigrades comes up by 6am! In this daily shitshow, sometimes the smallest beings yield the delightful distraction. Embrace the small, reject the small minded.
The SAVE Act effectively destroys mail-in voting, requires hundreds of dollars to get a passport (mine w/ docs:$450+), cuts Passport services. Just in the past year:
Wonder where Trump got this sense of kingship? Look at King Henry VIII. Fat & putrefying, string of young to even younger girl-wives. Sexually inept, vicious, unbalanced, violent, vile, grifter, warmonger, defaulted on his debts, turned on his allies, fake head of a church, demanded constant praise
It’s about chaos, corruption and personal enrichment. A malignant narcissist doesn’t care about the lives of others. Because he’s the center of his world view. Everyone is expendable, including and especially our dead, wounded and missing service people.
On this day in 1968, The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior, 39, was shot and killed while standing on a balcony at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. King's death triggered a wave of unrest in cities across the United States that killed 43 people and injured more than 3,000.
Why does Trump want polling station intimidation? Why does he want to crush voters registration, overseas ballots and mail-ins? 2024 Stats: 70.82M were eligible but chose NOT to register to vote. 18.61M registered voters chose to NOT vote. Trump got 77.3M votes. Kamala lost by only 2 MILLION votes.
Today in 1764: A slave held by the English flees & takes refuge with the TUNICA Indians. The English try to retrieve the slave. Today, TUNICA, OFO, AVOYEL, and some CHOCTAW Indians attack a group of small boats carrying the English. Six of the English are killed, and they abandon their attempt.
Voter Suppression, It’s all connected. R’s want only white straight men to vote. This is my list for just the past 3 weeks:
On March 3, 1819, the U.S. Congress passed the Civilization Fund Act, which aimed to educate and assimilate Native Americans into Anglo-American culture. This act led to the establishment of various boarding schools that abused, raped and killed children, suppressed Native languages, & cultures.
Angela Vergara, Colombian Trump supporter, far-right congresswoman, used to celebrate when ICE detained her own fellow countrymen in the US. But 18 days ago, ICE abducted her son, and now she no longer finds the cruelty she once applauded so enthusiastically, to be funny.
With the farm put to bed for the winter, work on the cabin continues. Building or restoring furniture and lighting, plus finally beginning to decorate walls..
The term "OMG" was first used in a letter by John Arbuthnot Fisher, 1st Baron Fisher, to Winston Churchill in 1917, where he wrote "O.M.G. (Oh! My God!)" in a military context. This letter marks the earliest known instance of the abbreviation. (Stephen Fry, Qi)
