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. ❤
Thank you darling!!!! Not yet…. but I’m looking!!! (I had more free time when I had a full-time job!)
Than you x infinity for keeping me in your thoughts!!!
XOXOXOX
Xoxo ❤❤ Funny how stuff of life pops at you when you’re free of the daily grind! 😂
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.
Have a safe trip
have a safe trip!
Have a safe trip. Congratulations on the newest grandson.
Thanks all!
Be safe!!! ENJOY!!!!
EAT CHOCOLATE!!!
Good Evening TODVille and our tireless Nerdy Wonka!
A gesture at long last.
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!
OH, MY
I heard about this on the radio this morning. Incredible.
God Bless him & keep him.
Thanks meta for posting this.
Twitter should flood the Chicago White Sox with thank You’s so his job will become permanent.
HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL..GOD BLESS HIM..HE WILL BLESS OTHERS WITH HIS FORGIVENESS!
Yes Indeed, thank you for I benefitted because of your courage.
Rest well now, my sister ❤️
Just dust 😥😥
We are the Change that we Seek….Let our Humanity Shine
Morning everyone
THIS
i agree…that the problem is political not legal…
ICYMI
Condoned propaganda from WH
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.
Public school education is GREAT! 🙂 Smart kids. So proud of them
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.
Agreed! 🙂 Morning, meta:)
Morning!
LOL
And we all know how all the RW’ers LOVE to talk about gun violence in Chicago!
🙂 🙂 A REAL LAWYER
… 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. …
Reality Check indeed…
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.
Whaat?!? Seriously?
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!
A TRUMP SUPPORTER!?!?!
HUH!?!🤬
Former First Lady Michelle Obama will be speaking in Oakland CA Wednesday evening at 8pm at the Oracle Arena.
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.
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!
Yes, we do. We must speak up and out.
“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.
Thank you for yours, even though it broke my heart.
“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.
UGH
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.
Hope it’s an open meeting.
If I’m not mistaken didn’t President Obama tried to tell this asshole about the shit he allowed on Facebook.
Don you are correct.

Absolutely. He went into great detail of the problems it would create and Zuck blew it off. And now KARMA has its way.
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.
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…….
The President of the United States of America is in a steel-cage match with a porn star, and that is where we are as a country.
I need robots that can vote blue!
GE, TODbots.
Hope all is well.
I am so tired of this.
Co-signing on ALL of this.
That’s a fake tweet. I went to @TwitterSafety TL and it is nowhere to be found.
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.
So Mexico military is going to pay for the wall.
Many have worked hard to get us to this point.
Same Old Mitterand Romney.
Packaged differently……a New State.
The above Thread is worth a read.
Cripes they can’t wait to rip off the VA too. Knew it was coming but still disheartening.
New post.

If you see a video of Christopher Wylie’s testimony to UK panel, do watch it. It’s really harrowing but gives a pretty full picture of how much bad faith and criminal activity is coming from SCL, Cambridge Analytica and AIQ.
