I post about my family, video games, and how to stop Republican judges who have taken over our country and their dystopian attempts to put women and minorities back in our place circa 1850.

Disney standing up to DeSantis's agenda of hate is big news. They are the biggest employer in the State. This show of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community will bring national attention to his awful policies ahead of his Presidential run announcement.
Miriam @MiriamThe Disney Resort in Florida will host the Out & Equal summit in 2024, which is said to be the largest LGBTQ+ conference in the world. The event brings together executives, human resource professionals, and experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion to promote equality.

Look at the media, since last week they have predicted mass rioting if tfg gets indicted.
They’ve been setting up camp at courthouse and tfg’s homes and outnumber protestors.
Why do I have the feeling they want disorder, chaos and violence?

The Harlem Hellfighters were a predominantly Black regiment in WWI. They confronted racism even as they trained for war, brought jazz to France, and battled longer than any other American unit. They also won the Croix de Guerre for their bravery. The medals can be seen in the colourized photo.

The reason Trump thought it was perfectly OK to ask Russia to help him win an election,
is because Reagan thought it was perfectly OK to ask Iran to help him win an election.
Both betrayed their country to gain power.
Both should be reviled for what they did.

So his lawyer, Michael Cohen went to jail.
His accountant is in jail.
Two of his lawyers, in two different cases, have now broken the crime-fraud exemption…
It’s time he pays the consequences for his own actions.

I find I'm less inclined lately to Echo a spout because echoing causes a spout to show up multiple times on my feed. I wish it was set up so that when a spout is echoed, it shows up on the original post only as having been echoed x-number of times, but doesn't repeat. Would that be possible to do?

Minor quibble: I've seen many people define "woke" as "empathy." IMO, that's not quite right – being woke is an awareness of systemic racism, sexism, & all forms of bigotry. That leads to empathy; but just calling it generic empathy without acknowledging the specific causes is a bit of a whitewash.

The #Oscars are coming up tonight and while I think we can agree to varying degrees that the whole slap thing was wildly stupid on both sides, the real truth is Will Smith should have been banned for years for putting out Wild Wild West.

This goes out to the person who saw the coffee beans first and was like, “Oh come on, I’ll roast this stuff, chop it up into dust, and then mix it with hot water.” — From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

"Research suggests that fictional books may effectively be empathy-building tools, offering us the closest we can get to first-hand knowledge of someone else’s experience."
For me it's similar to travel, it helps to understand different cultures and perspectives 📚📖📜
