@radiofreetom.bsky.social I thought you might like this vision of unity- (hoping it’s not AI).

Defending the 1st amendment and wanting to honor the young journalists getting scholarships? Calm down Waj.

The one who sided with my abusive ex husband in my divorce and was going to write an affidavit for him and how he should get custody of our kids even though she knew they were terrified of him? Yeah that’s her. I won anyway but sheesh!

Oh I see who you are now-You are escalating, unreasonable and acting like a sympathy vampire-And for the record you are using CLASSIC narcissistic, gas lighting language relying on racist tropes, pretending that defending myself is somehow “self important”-It’s wiser to block a troll like you.

The Viet Nam war was the wallpaper in our sunroom because that’s where the tv was. However, sometimes the wallpaper was the Watergate hearings. Other decor included my mom’s cigarette smoke and the clickety-clack of her knitting needles.

Not sure why you’re singling me out as your token bad white lady, when you and I agree on everything else on your time line. You’re pissed off at me because I mentioned that not everyone in the world is clairvoyant about what exact evil deeds a person is going to do at a certain moment-☮️ be with you

Mine is in the Humanities, Science PhD’s are expected in many science / research professions and of course are pre-reqs for post doc fellowships and such. Humanities are to “teach and save the world”, goals so lofty as to appear self indulgent, and they are, a bit!

I got mine because the cosmos aligned; I was offered a full ride plus pay, I researched a topic I was very interested in, I had no other job so it became my full time job, I was given an office, computer, unlimited printing, access to academic libraries all over the world. Otherwise? Don’t do it.

Well, this white lady did NOT vote for him, and as someone with a real life malignant narcissist in my family (my sister)it is nearly impossible to “guess” what particular travesty they will commit-even knowing them well-they’re very inventive-but I think your point was to blame white people, right?

Two of them showed up at a nice, quiet polling place in Minneapolis and were met by a pleasant very midwestern election judge who destroyed them with flawless passive aggressive Minnesota Niceness-they didn’t stand a chance. “You can’t come near the polling place”- “We’re on the sidewalk” “OK, bye!”

My para-social relationships with people whose pets have passed on instagram has had me absolutely sobbing most days-when the Obamas announced their second dog (Bo’s partner in crime) passed the other day, I literally COULD NOT SPEAK- I was so beside myself- did I even KNOW they had a 2nd dog? Nope!

Nobody knew! We now have to become a suspicious, paranoid, hyper-vigilant citizenry that assumes the total worst case scenario about what heretofore were utterly mundane background noises-it’s how you deal with a malignant narcissist-whenever you find yourself thinking “oh, he wouldn’t…” YES HE WILL

Well, I wouldn’t go THAT far, I don’t hate him- I’ve seen him absolutely eviscerate that creepy “pastor” (Hegseth’s white Christian national women shouldn’t vote guy)- I think Waj’s problem is once progressives see DSA win a few, they start getting cocky and all “I told you so”-he should chill.

The entire SHOW was milquetoast pablum- like “let’s open with a war rescue story- mention GOD a lot! Then football! SO AMERICENTRIC! So Tough ‘n Tender MANLY! I’m so surprised there want a segment featuring Apple pie! It was like honey coated, muted propaganda. Nothing special. NOT 60 minutes.

Never pay to go to grad school. If you can’t get a full ride scholarship with teaching assistant jobs offered on the side, then it’s not worth it. Do NOT get a PhD because there’s a job at the end of it-there isn’t. Earn a PhD because you have a burning question you want to answer to help the world.

The only “hard hitting journalism” tonight was when the interviewer DARED to refer to Kegsbreath as “Secretary of Defense” instead of “War”. It was a milquetoast hour of soppy “God (like this war) is good” , homage to a Football coach and that “yes pardons are quid pro quo but it’s perfectly LEGAL”

That won’t happen if you’d encourage people to vote for any Dem that won their primary in their district, instead of lamenting about the lack of your version of a pluperfect Faberge Egg, nonexistent “progressive” candidate. We’re in the REAL GAME now, we won’t oust these fascists if you keep whining

Margi MacMurdo @macmargi.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I’ll make you a dozen cookies if just ONCE you said something encouraging about voting for the Democrats who have won their primaries, stopped referring to every Democrat that isn’t DSA as a “corporate democrat” and would in general, be more urgent about the need for young people to vote-full stop!
