I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
This is so sweet
Great Question, Winona.......
Remember this fuck when his name comes on the ballot.
The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
A photo of many people. Text reads: Hey, CoreCivic and Citizens Bank: Children don’t belong in prisons.
Eight major banks walked away from private prison companies in 2019. Citizens Bank didn't. @CitizensBank continues to back GEO Group & CoreCivic, which runs the Dilley, TX ICE prison holding children.

Still water reflecting bare trees in the distance. There are some buildings behind the trees, but they are hard to see. The colors are green and taupe.
I feel sad and exhausted. But I like this image. #hipstamatic

If our democracy falls, its epitaph won’t be fate, but failure. We chose ignorance over intellect, resentment over reason, cruelty over compassion. We had the capacity for empathy and turned away. In the end, it was not war, but the poverty of our collective spirit that destroyed us.
Hopefully it backfires as badly as everything he touches seems to do.
Right?
Certificate with image of Rivendell from the Lord of the Rings films, with text Sunny Owen Finisher and The Fellowship Virtual Challenge. It also has dates and total distance (98 miles). There is a small picture of a woman with sunglasses in the corner.
Has anyone done virtual challenges? I’m currently doing the five series Lord of the Rings virtual Conqueror Challenge. I just finished my second.

I’ve been gone a while but I think I’m gonna start posting some photos again (now that I’ve started making them again). I was too depressed and $&@!* last year to do much besides stare in horror at it all. I’m a bit more functional now. (Just a bit!)
This is today’s favorite. Hipstamatic

I’m glad someone is!
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
ICE won't talk to the people who live in Roxbury, NJ because they know that nobody wants a detention center in their backyard.
I spoke with the community there and it's crystal clear: nobody wants this.
This has got to stop
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
Two people you should never trust; A religious leader who tells you how to vote, and a polition who tells you how to pray.
I introduced the Hands Off #Greenland Act because the United States does not threaten to take territory from our allies.

I love Resistbot, because when I can’t do anything else, I can do that.
The only way to round up 11 million people is to cast a massive net and not give a sh*t if Americans citizens are caught in it.
