#DemocracyInPeril Who ever thought the word “woke” as in the popular phrase “wake up!” could ever be a bad word or an insult??
Leave it to the corrupt Right to poison everything it touches. They’d much rather you be “asleep” while they pull the Democracy rug out from under us.
Next thing you know “Integrity”, “intelligence”, and “honesty” will be hurled as insults by the Right, who else? Their base makes it easy.

#DemocracyInPeril When DeSantis runs for President touting his Christianity and a bozo like Trump claims he’s Christian and citizens vote for either one of them on that basis, Christianity and those who practise it become suspect. The good news is that not all Christians drink these candidates’ wine. And hopefully Trump’s lawlessness in combo with State and Federal attention will knock him out of the race before he can imperil the Nation from the White House again.

Happy #MemorialDay everyone today we honor those who lost their lives fighting for our country and kept our freedoms our rights our democracy in tact. The fight is far from over today we have a new foe to fight and that is fascism from within and we have to do everything we can to make sure fascism never comes into power
This did me in. I walked all around it, taking in the details, and stood under it, absorbing the punch of the limp body draped over the imperial horse. Seeing the representation of Black life extinguished at such scale catalyzed a wave of grief and loss. I don't know if others experienced it the way I did.

Well y'all, back inside from a morning of brush cuttin n hedge clearing. And now I'm pretty much exhausted myself for #today.
Loads done too. Another day like #today n I'll be caught up to where I was last year n ready to move onward.😊
The nephews are out of school so they came over to #joinin. They are young yet, 8 n 10 years old, so they still find such things fun and thought the electric weed trimmer was just the coolest thing. Took turns trimming everything that the thing could handle, with me following behind to tackle the bigger stuff.😁
But it's noon n getting hot in the sun and I've pretty much run out of energy for #myday. I have the habit of pushing myself a little bit harder than I should. Keep standing there saying "just this bit more" then do it again and again until, well.. I'm about to fall over if I don't stop.🥴
Well, have reached that point. Time for a nice long rest, a cool drink or two and lunch. Hope y'all are enjoying a wonderful n satisfying day too.👍😁🖖

Biden deserves and won't get credit for negotiating with the worst-faith Republicans every to “run” government. I hate the fact that he had to agree to cuts; I love that we’re (likely) not driving off the cliff, which Republicans were apparently absolutely prepared to this time around. Businesses and major donors failed to raise the hue and cry at the GOP about default—they’ve gotten too used to brinkspersonship.
#TexasGOP I’m surprised, did they need a sacrificial lamb to show that the Republicans are the good guys or was there just too much dirt? 🤔

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ Republican-led House of Representatives impeached state Attorney General Ken Paxton on Saturday on articles including bribery and abuse of public trust, a sudden, historic rebuke of a GOP official who rose to be a star of the conservative legal movement despite years of scandal and alleged crimes
@AlliFlowers The new low, just how low can the GOP go? As low as they need to…🤬
Older man comes unglued making demands unreasonable for a civilian.
Even TFG’s lawyers are so stupid they don’t realize only the sitting president has pardon power.

“A closely-watched and controversial piece of legislation in #Texas that would have required public schools to post the Ten Commandments in every classroom failed to pass on Tuesday night…
