Hello Fierce Tally! I’ve been dropping in TOD, now & then. But wanted to know if you were able to take your absolute brilliance to another job gig! I’ve been sending all that’s magnificent in the universe your way. Something marvellous is coming your way. ❤
Hi Tally,
I fly to Munich on Wednesday to see my newest grandson. My bag is packed, but I am nervous about flying due to a sprained leg. I did order wheelchair assist so hope all goes smoothly. I will check into our blog while there.
Trump is doing this because he’s being heavily pressured by a ton of our allies. He still hasn’t done a damn thing about Putin’s 2016 election cyber warfare.
TRUMP IS GEARING OUR SOLDIERS FOR GROUND COMBAT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS…THEN HE WILL DRAFT…THE DARK SHADOWS ARE BUSY IN THE COCKROACH MOTEL…WHY DON’T YOU TRY READING MILITARY.COM AND FIND OUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON!
The hypothesis re. Mueller intervening centers around the sudden 180 of lawyers Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing, who abruptly announced they would not be joining Trump's legal team just days after it was announced that they would be joining his legal team. pic.twitter.com/er9WDUEOpW
This stunning figure captures just how fired up Democrats are in 2018: The Democratic primary in Illinois’ 6th District last week drew 63,000 voters. In 2014, it drew 8,600 voters.
I heard about this on the radio this morning. Incredible.
"I saved your spot for you!" Man freed from prison after 23 years for a crime he didn't commit is welcomed back to his job with the Chicago White Sox with open arms. https://t.co/7HOW3KcISupic.twitter.com/qqDuzZkR07
True, the 2d Am is weaponized by advocates who distort SCOTUS decisions like Heller but there’s no way 38 states would ratify the 2d Am’s repeal in the foreseeable future, and a failed effort to get there wd backfire badly by discouraging reformers & empowering the NRA. Dumb move https://t.co/1o9t2ktmKt
I admire Justice Stevens but his supposedly “simple but dramatic” step of repealing the 2d Am is AWFUL advice. The obstacle to strong gun laws is political, not legal. Urging a politically impossible effort just strengthens opponents of achievable reform.https://t.co/7VzMGXCYeV
A nearly 100-page magazine published by Donald Trump’s allies at American Media Inc. is selling America on a fellow Trump ally, Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. https://t.co/oYosmdO6NO
David is so so so savvy and smart. Yesterday he threw out the suggestion that they next have a March for our Town Halls this recess period and asked people for the best date. They came up with April 7 for town halls across the nation. He asked everyone to set one up and invite their congress members. Then @TownHallProject and the people from Indivisible noticed and jumped on the bandwagon with How to Hold a Town Hall materials. They’re joining forces to organize and advertise all the town halls. So today, David FOLLOWS UP to hold everyone accountable. BRILLIANT.
Follow this guy! He’s the Community Outreach Director for the march and an alum of MSD.
ALL YOUR REPS ARE HOME — Show up at their office, bring some friends, ask for a public town hall… if they decline, make sure to invite whoever is running against them and your local media! #MarchOn#NeverAgainhttps://t.co/CPEWgj6Cvr
They are incredible students, clearly well schooled in critical thinking. Yesterday Cameron was asked the person he’d most like to meet and he said PBO. I hope PBO and FLOTUS make time to meet them. It would be just such great synergy.
Well, that settles it then: In a statement from Kushner attorney Abbe Lowell to CBS News early Tuesday, Lowell says he confirms White House counsel has concluded there were "no issues involving Jared." 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/7cxyqhGK6w
And we all know how all the RW’ers LOVE to talk about gun violence in Chicago!
Mike Pence and his NRA masters are to blame for much of the gun violence in Chicago. In six years, 3,824 guns taken off Chicago gang bangers that were used in crimes came from Indiana. https://t.co/3L3L3YAdiypic.twitter.com/5jcpnvzciF
… The former Supreme Court justice also cited the 2008 Supreme Court ruling District of Columbia v. Heller, which affirmed the Second Amendment protects the right of an individual to own a firearm without serving in a militia. Stevens, along with retired Supreme Court justice David Souter and sitting justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, dissented from the majority opinion in that case.
“Overturning that decision via a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Second Amendment would be simple and would do more to weaken the NRA’s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun control legislation than any other available option,” Stevens wrote. …
Political experts are expecting a Democratic wave in this year’s upcoming midterm elections. But here’s a reality check: Democrats would need to win by nearly 11 points to gain just the 24 seats needed for a one-seat majority in the House. #FairMapshttps://t.co/CiMBnSPaJspic.twitter.com/71tEaHlbzs
Thanks to Thom Hartmann & Ed Shultz telling Democrats NOT TO VOTE in 2010 to “teach” PBO a lesson because of NO universal healthcare and other B.S. The two are now on Russian TeeVee.
Yes. I used to listen to Stephanie Miller in the morning then Thom Hartmann came on after her, then Randi Rhodes in the afternoon. Then Randi, the only one talking sense was taken off the air. They put Ed Shultz on in the afternoon before he went to MSNBC then Randi came back on in the afternoons.
During 2010 when the ACA passed Thom started having Fridays with Bernie and Bernie wanted someone to challenge PBO for 2012. Thom became 100% Bernie in 2010 and Ed Shultz was an ex-Republican anyway was NO fan of PBO. Then Ed lost MSNBC went back on talk radio or iheart Radio for awhile until he wound up on Russian TeeVee and is a Trump supporter…surprise, NOT!
The solution isn't to Repeal the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment doesn't need to be touched in order to ban assault weapons, raise age limits, and implement universal background checks. Keep 2A but make laws that fall within it's parameters!
When does it stop, please someone tell me when does it stop? When does the murder of the black man stop, and when I say black man I mean the black man, the black woman, and the black child. Just tell us what do we have to do so that you’ll stop murdering us, I promise you we’ll do it.
Don, my feelings exactly. I have two sons and a grandson and hundreds of AA students.
I am terrified for all of them, because they are at risk. My youngest son and grandson both have Asperger’s. What happens when some policeman mistakes their anxiety-ridden emotional acting-out for aggression? They will be dead. That’s what.
No race should have to be this frightened all the time, and in the 21st century! I thought walking gingerly around white people in the 50’s and 60’s and being terrified of the KKK and random, rabid white folk was horrible. But this terror is just as horrible and more insidious, because it is hidden behind the ‘Law and Order’ banner.
Sometimes I wish we had our own place to live, where we would not have to be so afraid. We can’t even plan a European or Asian tour without checking out how we might be received in this or that country. Shoot, we have to pick and choose which state in this country is safe for us to visit! I know I do.
I think our entire race has PTSD from the way we have been jerked around in this country from the beginning of our pitiful journey over here.
My cry is the same as yours: “ What do you want us to do?” Or, maybe, “ My God, MY GOD, why hast thou forsaken us.?
First the police would lie that the AA they murdered had a gun, when no gun found, they planted one, when they couldn’t plant one, they said they feared for their life, when video showed the AA murdered had no gun, the police planted the gun, they did not fear for their life…the police STILL was justified in murdering an AA man, woman, child.
As long as it is just US we cannot change very much because even VIDEO does no good. We need to get the rest of humanity to join us in saying ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
“We need to get the rest of humanity to join us in saying ENOUGH is ENOUGH!”
If in 2018 they still can’t recognize our humanity, maybe it’s because they don’t want to recognize our humanity. Because for them to recognize our humanity, they would be forced to recognize their own inhumanity towards us.
“I think our entire race has PTSD from the way we have been jerked around in this country from the beginning of our pitiful journey over here.”
WOW!!!! I swear to god I had planned on starting my post by writing about black people having PTSD, but I chose not to. Thank you for writing your post.
“I think our entire race has PTSD from the way we have been jerked around in this country from the beginning of our pitiful journey over here.”
Impossible to imagine that any AA doesn’t suffer, 24/7/365 from centuries of the insidious neurological trauma of incessant fear and abuse.
Impossible.
That’s a professional assessment from a white person who has spent decades learning as much as possible about neuroplasticity and all it’s implications.
Trump using the terminology "enemy combatant" for undocumented immigrants the other day foreshadowed this. He's breaking norms, rules and laws every single day, all for his pet vanity project that does nothing for our national security. https://t.co/J992MQv9Re
hmm bet that was his plan all along- why he’s been so gung-ho to have big bucks budgeted for the Pentagon. Betting they give him what he wants, just like his ridiculous parade.
Zuckerberg was HELPING the Trump campaign and there is plenty of documentation to prove it. He just did not think he would get caught. I hope FB falls flat on it’s face. I was watching teevee this morning and this guy had a FB alternative. It’s free for now but would charge a fee…..no thanks. I pay you for sharing my information that you sell to others? Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me.
I think a couple of things have to happen regarding social media. They must be regulated and adhere to strict rules for information sharing and people need to stop sharing personal details on these huge platforms.
The 2nd Amendment, according to the rules of ENGLISH GRAMMAR, is about a WELL-REGULATED MILITIA (subject of sentence), not "bearing arms," & should be enforced as such. It also doesn't define specific "arms", which meant a Flintlock at the time of writing.
Neither the Militia (we now have the largest Military on Earth), nor Flintlocks exit now, which renders the 2nd, Obsolete, and perhaps needs a NEW Amendment defining such, with a mountain of restrictions on private gun use…
Limited EXPENSIVE AF ammo Proof of secure locker checked at random by authorities All MODS are ILLEGAL Each violation a FELONY + FINE + Min 5 years in PRISON w/no parole.
Justice Stevens needs to get his fellow Justices to OVERTURN Heller! It was BAD LAW that Scalia wrote by dismissing the first half of the 2nd amendment…….
Retired SCOTUS Justice John Paul Stevens is calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment to allow for significant gun control legislation; [the March for Our Lives] demonstrations demand our respect, he writes in a New York Times op-ed https://t.co/YXn3CXKkFvpic.twitter.com/hKXbYqbE22
Alton Sterling, a black man who was face down on the ground at the time that Officer Blane Salamoni shot him a half dozen times in the back, will get no justice from his home state.

That’s a fake tweet. I went to @TwitterSafety TL and it is nowhere to be found.
I did find this, which is great:
We are actively working on reports of targeted abuse and harassment of a number of survivors of the tragic mass shooting in #Parkland. Such behavior goes against everything we stand for at Twitter, and we are taking action on any content that violates our terms of service.
THIS! I just can’t. It says it all about how sick this country is and how one man tried to bind our wounds. I love how she says “My president…” What a great find. Thanks for posting it.
Fox News and NRA won't be reporting this: Maryland school shooter was NOT As reported last week shot by police guard – police now confirm he took his own life – ABC News – https://t.co/oUtg3o1QdG via @ABC
104 that's the number of townhalls we have right now there's 435 house seats and long push ahead please continue making townhalls for 4/7. #TownHallForOurLives
As President Trump now turns his focus to using U.S. Military funding to pay for his stupid wall, let's all remember that Trump promised that Mexico would be paying for it, not U.S. taxpayers.

Oh, Mia. You cannot surprise me. Fake!
Republicans are the same no matter what color or stripe they come in; liars, cheats, and sycophants.
OMG, this is freaking me out.
SCOTUS can reverse that awful Scalia Heller ruling would be a BIG START!
Sometimes when I hear about the Stephon Clarks of the world I have to almost ignore their deaths as a way of staying sane.
When does it stop, please someone tell me when does it stop? When does the murder of the black man stop, and when I say black man I mean the black man, the black woman, and the black child. Just tell us what do we have to do so that you’ll stop murdering us, I promise you we’ll do it.

I did find this, which is great:
Thank you, Meta.
I must be more careful next time…. so not to post Fake Tweets here at TOD Blog Oasis.
Nena, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to sort out the fake stuff. We all get hoodwinked every now and then. It’s crazy.
This is so beautiful and moving.
THIS! I just can’t. It says it all about how sick this country is and how one man tried to bind our wounds. I love how she says “My president…” What a great find. Thanks for posting it.
