Reject authority that demonizes science.
Reject authority that bans literature.
Reject authority that stokes fear.
Reject authority that marginalizes minorities.
Reject authority that normalizes lies.

@RemiRamos6 gotcha back.

For the maybe 3 or 4 friends that will ever see this tweet, come on in to Bluesky, the water's fine.

@leeannjacobson We just handed our country to a malevolent clown wielding a flamethrower. We're too busy being stupid to be brave.

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

@leeannjacobson In retrospect, we were finished when it descended the golden escalator. The American experiment *almost* made it 250 years. A shockingly brief empire.

@txchristabelle drinking.

@leeannjacobson I hope Canada resists the urge to devolve into authoritarianism, but judging by the state of much of the planet and yesterday's gut punch, I'm kinda skeptical. Maybe it can be punted a few decades at least.

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

@Mollyploofkins Yeah - I'm one day closer to the long dirt nap 😞

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

@RemiRamos6 This one may be the mother of all disappointments 😞

I wasn't going to say anything, because really what's the point on this shithole platform, but..

Witnessing America get dismantled and fed to an unholy alliance of oligarchs and christofascists was not what I expected when I came here four decades ago.

@HeatherThomasAF @MisterResiste12 @Out5p0ken I married mine.

Sweet Caroline playing at Wegmans today could have been magical, but everyone was too caught up in their shopping lists 😔

@leeannjacobson I voted for a straight blue ticket a couple weeks ago, and it was extraordinarily satisfying to do so.

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

Imagine still being on the fence in *this* election, like you can't quite decide between democracy and autocracy 😳

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

@Mollyploofkins Throwing out indignant accusations with folded arms is a sure sign of projection.

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

@RonFilipkowski and deplorable.

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

@RonFilipkowski Is he gonna be loading the bags into the cargo hold?

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

@atrupar That one stings.

[Grim Milestone @GrimMilestone]

So Phil Lesh died today, and I'm reminded of Aug '95 when Jerry died and I just happened to be rolling into Anchorage AK into a welcoming community of unknown friends for some healing. I miss that, and I wonder if it could or would ever happen again. Peace.

@Timodc If it makes you feel any better, Tim, this Gen-Xer already voted a top-down blue ballot. Furthermore, this Gen-Xer doesn't care if we're ignored or skipped, we're used to that.

@joncoopertweets He's already a multiple-times convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, insurrectionist, outspoken bigot, dementia-addled megalomaniac and utter failure as president, still with a 50/50 shot at reoccupying the White House. Color me skeptical about the panic in his campaign.
