In all the madness going on, it was nice to tune it all out for a week at the National Puppetry Festival at Jim Henson's alma mater, University of Maryland.
Nice tribute statue here as well, and if this is a repost, sorry, but maybe my soul needs the thought of calm...

Keep rising, sisters and brothers, no matter who tries to drag you down. Keep speaking your truth and shining your light.
You matter. Don't shrink. You're not invisible.
Rest.
Recharge.
Be well.
Have a badass week ahead.
Goodnight world 🖐🏾🌛✨🎇🎆🎇✨

For commenting that the estates of the billionaires in the submersible should pay the cost of the rescue efforts. So, I posted a comment — one among many other people’s comments —regarding the submersible implosion on the thread of William, a longtime Facebook ‘friend’ whom I have had a few occasion..

It should have been clear from the beginning, but indicted AG Paxton loves wasting taxpayer money on himself, and the GOP.

Supreme Court rejects Texas lawsuit over Biden deportation policy | The Texas Tribune
Texas and Louisiana sued after the Biden administration told immigration agents to focus on deporting undocumented immigrants who are convicted of felonies or pose a risk to public safety. The Supreme Court said states didn’t have any standing to sue.

Thanks to Justice Gorsuch for doing the right thing. I'm disappointed that Justice Roberts failed in that.

I really don't understand why Republican politicians like Abbott who bend over backwards to put guns in the hands of people who are clearly eager to commit mass murder cannot be prosecuted as accessories to murder.

I am just tickled pink that Kevin McCarthy is going to slash

Because gosh darn it, nothing is more important then more Billionaire Tax Cuts

McCarthy's new bill makes the Trump tax cuts for the 1% Permanent
Eliminates the estate tax, which only applies to 1,900 families
And all Seniors/Veterans/Disabled have to do is give up 22% of your income..WHAT A DEAL

One reason I have tried to cut back on beef, and also things like almonds and avocados. It's insane how much water big ag requires too.
George Carlin Was Right @GeorgeCarlinWasRightInteresting take on the insane amount of water we use to feed our addictions to beef and dairy. As someone who worked in the industry, this is very true. Ag uses all of the water and pays almost nothing.

Texas state Senator Royce West in the DFW area voted for the anti-drag bill because he didn't get the facts.
His apology is "nice," but it doesn't change the fact that this African American representative suppressed a segment of the population out of fear and ignorance.
This is so very wrong.

"So, trans people make up 0.6 percent of the population but 0.1 percent of mass shooters, six times less than what would be proportionally expected... cis people are disproportionately more likely to be mass shooters."

JUST IN: 50 lawmakers from both chambers of Congress have already signed up to support the bill introduced by Rep. Katie Porter and Senator Elizabeth Warren, called the Secure Viable Banking (SVB) Act.
Their legislation will repeal Trump’s 2018 banking deregulation.
Outstanding! 💙

Shouldn't be surprised republicans all over are trying to eliminate Black history.
The writers of the constitution they did the same in *real time by choosing to NOT to include the words "Slave/Slavery" in the document..
..because they knew they were wrong and it was wrong.

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.
