These days I'm looking for a 70s vibe to life. I remember riding my bike to the park, tossing a frisbee, hearing some music, taking in some rays. So I went to the Vancouver WA Farmers market, supported a couple of local artists, hear guitarist Mike Doolin and singer Nova Knudson, Feeling groovy...
This series of 1 minute historic videos celebrate the forming and refining of the amazing commoner-created-and-governed country called the United States of America. Where do you see yourself in this story? www.youtube.com/hashtag/wear...
A splash of color and joy from Mexican dancers today in Esther Short Park in Vancouver, WA. I needed some Happy today. Also picked up two bottles of artisan mead from a small booth at the Farmers Market.
If you try to do everything, you end up doing nothing. By choosing a role and embracing it fully for a season, you can have a measurable effect in helping democracy and fighting fascism. Choose ONE lane about which you feel strongly, pour yourself into it Here's what I'm good at, how can I help?
Be careful when you donate! Spend a bit of time verifying that an account is officially from a candidate, and not stealing your donation, or splitting it with some little-known group. Here are just a handful I saw on ActBlue that claim to be for AOC.
Bulk dry foods can make meals far cheaper than buying canned or prepared, and they can often be stored for months or years if vacuum packed and kept cool. Learn to cook from scratch. Beans, lentils, rice, chickpeas, steel cut oats, grits, spices, chocolate chips, etc.
Yo, talking heads! You don't need to explain what the voting rights act is or its history before you tell us what you plan to do about it being wrecked. Every damn video starts by explaining it. We watch hundreds of vids, we don't need yet another explainer prior to your projected solution.
Surveillance systems are increasingly common, and we tend to stop noticing them. In detention facilities, they are required for legal reasons. But in your kid's gym and pool areas? And who can view these cameras (despite claims of safety by camera companies)? www.youtube.com/shorts/YwVBs...
Not enough cuss words for this. Russ Vought and the Trump administration destroying the US Forest Service. USFS head is a logging exec, cutting a deal with Utah governor for your national forests. $$$
In the HBO series "Westworld", everything the rich did to the android hosts was recorded, to use as blackmail later (because profit like Epstein). But one of the designers placed in the hosts a puzzle, a maze that would lead them to question and override their programming. Echoes of current times.
From 8 months ago, the first time we "obliterated" Iran's nuclear ability. Call and write to your representatives about this illegal and unauthorized war. See you on March 28th for No Kings!
Americans are conditioned by decades of marketing to get quick results. Hero movies are over in 2 hours. If opposing the regime isn't a "microwave" revolution, they think something is wrong and it didn't work. Millions of us are working together in tiny diverse ways that add up. Grab onto hope!
I'm curious why some candidates and politicians seem to have so many different ActBlue accounts. It makes me leery of donating. I thought I was donating to a new candidate last month and got a receipt from a group. Here are some from AOC in picture. Are these other groups just siphoning money?
Here are some stills of local Minneapolis and state Minnesota troopers firing several tear gas canisters into a crowd protesting ICE. Photos from live feed from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social
I'm not a graphic artist, but wanted to convey this. This isn't about ICE who are hired mercenaries, but our regular troops who swear their oath to defend the Constitution, which represents us.
The whole point of the current cult is to ignore established law, legal precedent, and make him into a reality TV Al Capone wannabe by their capitulation and obeisance to the insane lies he emits every second to distract from the trillion dollar grift he's running on behalf of the filthy rich.
Remember last Saturday when we millions lined the streets, while the orange toddler had a squeaky tank parade? Or did you get distracted? Remember the Democrat couple murdered by a Xian Nationalist red hat? Or did you get distracted? The gutting of VA, Medicare? Brown people kidnapped?
When you want to distract voters from looking utterly pathetic and flaccid at your parade, get involved in a new war.
