I am still a saucy Hobbit's daughter, trained by Eowyn to battle the evil from the dark Tower. I am no man! However, I am now here on BlueSky under my real name. If you want to follow THAT account, message me. This one will go dormant.

Actually, my little Starter Pack is not just about the Climate Crisis, although that is certainly in there. It is about keeping our Earth LIVABLE for all creatures. I had this list on Xitter and transferred it over here to the Good Place, or as much as I could! Hope it helps! go.bsky.app/BMDbBAo

After watching Morning Joe this morning, I had to post this. Talk about obeying in advance and normalizing the dictator! Is MSNBC signaling their intention NOT to be part of the resistance? NOT to defend our democracy?

Final thoughts today. My conclusion is that many in the US have no idea what's coming for it. Can't/won't believe. 'The institutions will hold'. 'There's always the courts.' Let's hope so. But the plan is shock & awe. Think high-profile scapegoats, a climate of fear, institutional cowardice.

The problem with the you-do-you version of public health is that one person's "personal choice," can endanger others. We've seen measles outbreaks happen this way. This logic socializes the harms of personal decisions: an outbreak cost a community quite a bit in real personal and economic terms. 2/

This is PRECISELY what Trump is doing right now. We need to listen to people like Hannah Arendt, Timothy Snyder, Jason Stanley, Masha Gessen to understand and RESIST totalitarian/authoritarian/fascist rule.
Graphic with this quote: "Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty. - Hannah Arendt"

This is why I am leaving Twitter (slowly, as those I follow catch on) and coming to where the skies are blue. I don't NEED to persuade the incels and nasties on Twitter. I NEED to persuade our elected representatives to defend our democracy. This is why I am here.

Use @resist.bot. There are already existing letters and petitions on the topic you can just add your name and email/fax/snail mail your senators. @resist.bot does all the work!

There will always be those willing to kiss the ring (or some body part) in exchange for (1) power or (2) money or (3) both. But there seem to be far too many of them around these days.

JOIN UP WITH RESISTBOT. Let's HAMMER our senators and reps with texts and emails. Let's keep the unqualified and dangerous OUT of our government! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. This day we fight!!

I used Resistbot a LOT during Trump's last regime. And I am BACK baby! You need to use @resist.bot too! You can contact your senators and representatives and urge them: NOT to confirm the unqualified and totally WHACKO Trump nominees for the cabninet. TO confirm Biden's judges. DO IT. NOW!!!!

I’ll never forget my New Testament professor telling me that sometimes God’s wrath in the Bible looks like just letting people have the king they demanded. The world they wanted. The reality they voted for.

Q: What happens when you overpay for a social media platform, drive away most of your advertisers, alienate half its users, making it worth less than a third of what you paid for it within a year? A: You get put in charge of government efficiency.
