Still & always BLUE 💙
Check out my semi-funny jokes at @ghostofelizabeth.bsky.social
- Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

- In my experience, it's very difficult to get through to Etsy. And their response is pretty much nil. They don't give a crap about customer feedback. I had a vendor who was rude & lied in response to my review & Etsy did nothing b/c the vendor refunded my money. That wasn't the point. They don't care
- After an ICE raid in Waltham, MA, on May 4, a 12-year-old boy was left alone after agents arrested the adult with him. A Neighborhood Watch volunteer told the child his rights & walked him home. Agents refused to ID themselves, and one drove his car at City Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur.
- Absolutely inhumane and despicable. It's sickening and so concerning.
- Trump and the rest of his detestable party are destroying U.S. colleges and universities. This, from the former governor of Wisconsin, is typical hypocrisy. (And yes—he really tweeted this. I checked.) short 🧵

- I did look at it but it doesn't have the programs my son is interested in (he's undecided but has several subjects he's considering) and it seems so isolated. I'm sure it's gorgeous there on the border of NB and NS, but he likes having access to a city. One of the ones we like is Trent.

- That he is.

- 💙 We're looking at a few Canadian universities. Some, like McGill, are just too huge for him. But we're definitely considering a few. 😊 He's a really good kid—very funny and kind.
- Scott Walker is a motherfucking cocksucking POS. Too much? I’ve always hated that fucker.
- Not too much at all. He is an absolutely terrible person.
- NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (🎶) #MomSky DAY 13MAY 2025 TONIGHT A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY For my LOVE of Robin Williams and Koko Both gone, but never forgotten Just hope this brings you a smile In these tumultuous times We need a smile Much love Robin & Koko thank you
- This made me cry. So beautiful. I wish I had had the chance to meet Koko. What an amazing, loving creature she was. (I loved Robin Williams, too.)

- Precisely. 💙

- EXACTLY. 🙏 After the fall of Communism, when the people with money bought up the entire infrastructure.
- Look at what they're doing: targeting public education (and even private universities), threatening health care and the minimal safety net in this country, slashing and eliminating help for those in need, stripping away fundamental human rights.
- When this administration refuses to spend funding allocated by Congress, WHAT HAPPENS TO IT? Where is it going? They are working toward a future where billionaires have everything and the rest of us can scramble for crumbs.
- My son, who is a high school junior, and I have visited at least a dozen colleges so far and I've scanned and studied the pages of dozens more. I'm honestly in awe of the education and opportunities American colleges and universities have to offer.
- But the GOP is opposed to critical thinking, an understanding of this country's history, & discussions about oppression & inequality. What becomes clearer to me every day that this shit show continues is that Trump and his loyal minions want a population entirely at the mercy of a ruling class.
- Ad hominem criticism of Supreme Court justices is NOT what is endangering the rule of law in this country, dickhead
- [Not loaded yet]
- He's concerned about ad hominem criticism of the justices?! THAT'S what's violating the "rule of law" in this country? He's out of his fucking mind.
- If you still doubt that this administration is full of white supremacists and fascists, you're beyond help.
- Read @crampell.bsky.social's excellent column on the GOP plan to cut Medicaid and SNAP (with a quote from yours truly)
- This should be a gift article—hope it works. My subscription ends this fall, I believe. (WaPo refuses to give refunds to those of us who ditched its fascist ass.)
- Depardieu's disgusting, criminal behavior has been an 'open secret' for DECADES. Finally, he's convicted—his health is failing, so they convict him and suspend the paltry 18-month sentence. 😡
- This is the U.S. Gestapo
- "The local police arrived to prevent the community from protecting their neighbor from an unlawful kidnapping. They succeeded, and in the process arrested two of the people who tried to stop it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

- That's so kind of you, Patti. 💙 Wishing you and your daughter...as well as everyone on this amazing list...a wonderful Mother's Day! 💐
- It's been said before, but I am SICK TO DEATH of this detestable, hateful administration pretending to care about Jewish students. Elise Stefanik is a power-hungry, repulsive hypocrite with a history of antisemitic remarks and associations. She can take her faux concern and shove it.
- [Not loaded yet]
- That's what I'm referring to
- Someone's got to say it: Skepticism is healthy, friends. So a post is by someone you follow? That doesn't make it true. One of the ways traditional journalism matters: journalists & editors verify and substantiate. Please try to avoid reposting disinformation by verifying first.
- Hell, if someone says anything at all pertinent, I will repost it. I am looking for facts, yet I also have to argue that I will take it at face-value some of the time--because, why not? This is a dystopia. People can and do get lost in the rabbit holes. I get that. Not researching everything.Block
- Okay. You're blocked.
- NONE of this is about concern for Jewish students...or any students. It's about repression of academic and personal freedom & control of what's taught. Their m.o. is to prevent criticism of Trump, this administration, and white supremacy. They are DESTROYING our great universities & colleges.
- This Jewish mama hopes with all her heart that the members of this administration—and all the Republicans who support and cozy up to them—pay the price big time one day.
- Beautiful! #MetGala
- Another account claiming the Ukrainian flag is a Nazi symbol. 😡 #instablock
-
View full threadI honestly do not know what is required for it to go through, but it makes me ill to think about. It's exploitation, pure and simple. Dumpy was impeached for withholding funds that Ukraine needed to defend itself and he's getting away with doing far, far worse now. It makes me apoplectic.
- I hope your friend is okay. I can't begin to imagine what it's like to worry about someone you care about there. 💙

- Unbelievable. He's a U.S. Senator and he can't understand that it's a federal regulation to wear a seat belt on a plane? I detest this guy. So sorry he's your senator.

- I wasn’t implying that 2 1/2 weeks makes something false. The OP presented this as though it was new, there’s no NPR story about this (I checked), and it’s not being reported anywhere credible.

- I get it. Here, it's a lazy symbol of "patriotism" and my husband & I are sick of it.

- I would LOVE to buy a place near Victoria. Much, much better than Florida, IMO.
- [Not loaded yet]
- The only downside to that is the value must be falling and they may lose money on those homes. But honestly, it bothered me how many Ontarians (is that a word?) traveled down to Fla, as I've detested Fla and its politics for decades.

- 😂 Florida, too. I'm experiencing some real schadenfreude over the loss of tourism revenue in that state!
