I see a lot of people mad about these pictures. Let's capture the photos. 1. All White people 2. Equated Black people to dogs 3. This was not a mistake 4. Black people were 3/5th of a human being 5. The confidence in posture 6. They think Black people should be in cages in 2020 pic.twitter.com/ptKvB5exB1

This sign is the reason I made my Black 2nd grade students address each other as Prince & Princess. Classroom of 22 Black students, my duty was to ingrain this into their mindset to prepare them to deal with this type of ignorance from white people. They're royalty not animals. pic.twitter.com/T1WR0A4ea0

The image this woman chose to illustrate her oppression is Anastácia, an enslaved African in 1700s Brazil. Her mistress ordered that iron spike torture device put to deform her face and squeeze her neck out of rage and jealousy that her husband wouldn't stop raping Anastácia. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/6FZTpuXi2O
Be sure to read the rest of that thread…That is all I wanted to post about that.
Tell us again how trump love the military. “The Trump administration’s order ends deployments on June 24, just one day before thousands would qualify for education and retirement benefits.” They risked their lives. Disgraceful
Tell me I am reading this wrong… A company sitting on $2bn in cash, Doing more business than ever, Is asking employees to return some of the extra pay they received? https://t.co/lzGKxM3nIo
After images of a letter from @Kroger telling an employee to return an overpayment of emergency funds went viral, the grocery store chain backed off the policy, calling it an “error” that only affected a small number of workers:https://t.co/VujAuPK817
Important: @SecPompeo would only give written answers to questions from State Department IG in his investigation into fast-tracking of Saudi arms sales. Shows Pompeo knew of probe and raises Q of whether it was linked to IG firing.@ewong and @SangerNYT:https://t.co/nM8YHETni0
Since his impeachment acquittal by the Senate, President Trump has removed four inspectors general. Until congressional leaders respond with something stronger than finger-wagging, this abuse of presidential power won't stop. https://t.co/2NWwQvMnNq

And ending it all with a message from the one and only, Samuel L Jackson:
President Trump on Wednesday threatened to “hold up” federal funds to Michigan and Nevada in response to the states’ planned use of absentee and mail-in ballots in upcoming elections as a means to mitigate risk of exposure to the coronavirus.
Interesting group of items you have there. I was going to college in Washington during the eruption. That morning was a beautiful sunny day, one of those days that only occurs in late spring and summer in that area. I woke up early to go to the swap meet and a little later the sky darkened, but I didn’t think much about it. I was working myself through school as a bartender and was the morning opener on that Saturday. My first customers were full of what ended up being ash- they were geologists who just tore away from the mountain. They asked me to turn the tv on and then used our pay phone to make multiple calls. The next eruption was exactly a week later- I drove down to visit friends and family in Cali, but they closed 5 as I came close to the mountain and I ended up taking hwy 1 all the way down. During the second eruption, the ashfall blew to the west (the first was to the east) and it was raining. This made an impenetrable ooze on the windshield. My old bug had no sprayers, so I prayed for a truck to come by and splash water on me everytime my visibility was impaired. It worked. My dog refused to get out and go potty in the mire- it freaked him out. The weather was lousy that whole summer.
Its a horrible poster of Anastaćia, but I think it might be a doctored meme. I wondered about the out of focus fingers on the first one. The second has exactly the same paper wrinkles as the first.
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 you have a chance, listen to this band out of Austin:
Here is their channel:

I think they should have won the Grammy for new artists.
I had to fix those links.

“Ah yes, I remember reading that in the Bible: thou shalt pay others to cravenly lie.”
They are such hypocrites.
More people might vote. Stop them!
