Just concerned about Clowns. I am pretty sure that Professional Clowns as a group are among the most diverse and their skill set TRUMPS pathetic MAGA types who tragically are the present day Republicans. They are followers and that requires no skill.

bsky.app/profile/tran... Unlike the windbreaker with the same distinctive logo (Thank You Riki & Denise) gifted to me decades ago, my Menace, Resistance and Fighting Spirit — always consistent. It — the jacket must have shrunk LOL!

Proud to wear t-shirt. I have windbreaker with logo gifted to me (Thank You Riki & Denise) decades ago. My Menace, Spirit and Resistance remains consistent and strong. However, it — the jacket —doesn’t fit anymore LOL!

I keep coming back to this photo I took yesterday of the Stonewall Inn, and the vow written in neon in the window, which I think we would all do well to live by right now: “In the name of those who came before me, I pledge to be brave, to be true to myself, and to fight like hell for equality.”

A photo of a large rectangular black window in a red brick building, with STONEWALL NATIONAL MONUMENT VISITOR CENTER on a sign over the window, and the pledge above in purple neon within it. Fans and signs fill out the bottom edge.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
