So, last night we had a little thunderstorm. If y’all have Windstream and your writing a blog post on WordPress don’t do it in a thunderstorm. This post was almost complete…just needed to be scheduled and updated. But WordPress has overwritten all my updates. Meaning I have to start from the very beginning.
Jimmy Kimmel: "I can think of no better metaphor for this presidency than Donald Trump not wearing a face mask to a face mask factory while the song 'Live and Let Die' blares in the background."
I’ve been posting about this “incident” in Georgia for weeks now.
So check this out :
The video is clear: Ahmaud Arbery was killed in cold blood. My heart goes out to his family, who deserve justice and deserve it now. It is time for a swift, full, and transparent investigation into his murder. https://t.co/alvY5WjdHx
Sending love to the friends, family, and community of #AhmaudArbery. It's been over two months and nobody has been held accountable. Every year, we see viral videos of Black people experiencing violence. Every year, many lose their lives. Every year, their names become hashtags. pic.twitter.com/2REDyS2KCn

I have no words. These men were never charged. They still walk free. They claim that hey we’re making a citizens arrest but murdered an innocent man for jogging. All because he looked like a robbery suspect. No evidence/proof. fuck this..#JusticeForAhmaudArbery#JusticeForAhmaudhttps://t.co/vxAalfNRc9
Why isn’t #JusticeForAhmaudArbery TRENDING?!? This Unarmed Black Boy was JOGGING and this Video shows him being Hunted Down by these White men, Shot & Killed. NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED since the white men claim they thought he was going to attack them. pic.twitter.com/DE3OKki1zG
NEWS: Graphic video appears to show Ahmaud Arbery, 25 of GA., whose family says he was out for a run, confronted by 2 men who shot him dead saying they thought he was a burglar. A prosecutor wants a grand jury to decide whether the men should be charged. pic.twitter.com/kEYYJW7UlM
Sorry for the graphic video, but this murder is getting lost in the news. Maybe now it will get some traction?
On message to Justice Ginsburg, @SpeakerPelosi: "We thank her for her values. We thank her for her courage. We thank her for her strength & determination. She's just absolutely magnificent, God truly blessed America with the service & leadership of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."
they’re going to say it was to have a record to prove they were right or some such crap. Like police wear body cameras. They think they’re citizen police, which, I think, not sure, is the same self-justification the Klan used back in their day.
Of course, the actual police aren’t that much better too much of the time, so maybe the scum aren’t wrong about being the “citizen” version.
What’s it going to take for people to stop mainlining racism?
I wrote about Republicans sacrificing human lives to the coronavirus, otherwise termed as “reopening” America. I also explore what kind of “freedom” that Trump seeks to restore—especially when he tells you to risk death for it. My latest for @RollingStone. https://t.co/jgJf6SBqNF
Seeing this type of comment a lot on twitter: “There is no universe in which a 25-year-old white kid goes jogging in their neighborhood, gets shot and killed by two strangers in a pickup truck, and the shooters are walking free two months later like nothing happened. My heart is sick.”
Actually there is a universe like that. We live in it. Happens to white *women*. With sex crimes thrown in.
Exactly my thought as well regarding women dying from forced childbirth. I thought of the woman in that Catholic hospital they forced to carry a stillborn and it killed her of sepsis I think. Rape and sex assault ignored for the most part.
And these cases. It is heartbreaking these young black men are targets. Meanwhile scum like George Zimmerman and these freaks are still out there, Zimmerman causing harm just about everywhere he goes.
Do you have a lot of nicknames? Tomorrow morning’s full moon is known as the Flower Moon, Corn Planting Moon, Milk Moon, the Vesak Festival Moon and a supermoon!
The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

If that octopus looks skeptical…what look is that brown bear giving?
Also, one more thought… if those asshole who murdered Arbery video taped their hunting down and killing…doesn’t that show intent?

Police, judge, jury and executioners. Burglary being a capital offense apparently when black men do it or even when they don’t.

Yup.
Yes, I’ve been thinking that too. It’s so common it’s considered just the way it is and always has been and at this rate it always will be.

He’s found yet another way to grift off of it.
I gather the Dauphin is getting involved in steering the US vaccine endeavor. Definitely smelling of good grifting opportunities
Does not surprise me. Any student of public health or history knows it was simply a matter of time.
