So Far From Heaven

Bernie didn’t just make a “mistake or two.” He gave away all of the political power he did have to the enemies of everything he says he believes in, and that’s unforgivable, no matter what he did before.

I concur with your assessment OB, a very disappointing end to our movement…or is it?

The elites like to focus on race, sjw issues, because it costs them nothing, or next to nothing economically. And there are other ways it hurts the Dems.

My Nana always located the exits in any place she was going to sit down….

@peacecorps I don’t “fall in love” with political leaders like so many people, especially liberals and some Republicans, do. I don’t give a shit about personalities.

@punxsutawney Scientists are flinging hypotheses and theories about Covid right and left, and the former are frequently disproven a couple of weeks or months later as they learn more. But the media, and most internet posters, never mention what’s basic scientific caveat.

It’s suspected that the virus may have longterm health effects. Nobody knows…[Read more]

The black represents the Aboriginal people. The yellow disk is the sun, the giver of life. The red is actually ocher, representing both the earth and the ocher used in sacred rituals.

At a protest in Adelaide. The Australian government didn’t officially acknowledge the flag until 1995. @hasslecat

1969 is also close, but not quite the right decade. @pam2
