Important read.

How to culture jam a populist

46821. iiibbb - 1/29/2017 11:53:45 PM

I am in Disqus... the talk is fast there.

46822. judithathome - 1/29/2017 11:59:46 PM

Well, I am in another forum, too. (in fact, I run it)..but how hard is it to come in here and if not link to other places, at least COMMENT on things going on?

We have a man running things that wants to destroy our way of life...and I don't mean Trump...I mean the PuppetMaster, Bannon.

46823. judithathome - 1/30/2017 12:58:25 AM

It might be but I went to your link and cannot make any sense of it whatsoever.

46824. judithathome - 1/31/2017 12:37:41 AM

Oh to be young again and be willing AND able to pull up stakes and move to another country!

Just wait...Social Security and MediCare are going to be axed next.

Arky, I am hearing a LOT of refernces in the news to Tom Cotton...none advising the asshole SHAVE, by the way...but I think Republicans are putting him forward as the next great conservative hope.

Hide and watch.....

They've been doing that ever since before that ridiculous and embarrassing Iran letter previous to the nuclear halt deal. I don't think it will work because no one likes a scold, but he's a bigger concern than a lot of possibilities because he's smart and he doesn't have a core set of conservative values. Kinda like a younger Mitch McConnell

46827. judithathome - 1/31/2017 2:38:21 AM

Well, thanks for making feel BETTER....ha!

He seems like an idiot to me...but an AMBITIOUS one...which is ALWAYS dangerous...especially in Republican circles.

46828. judithathome - 1/31/2017 2:55:15 AM

Making ME feel....jesus, I really wish we had autocorrect!

46829. thoughtful - 1/31/2017 3:45:40 PM

Did any of you go to DC to march? I did. What an experience!

46830. arkymalarky - 1/31/2017 6:04:01 PM

We weren't financially or obligation-wise able to go. A good friend of ours went, but we haven't heard how it was for her.

46831. judithathome - 1/31/2017 6:28:15 PM

Thanks to any and all who DID make it! Me, I do well to make it to the car these days, usually for doctor's visits or to labs for tests....

I did WATCH the marches all day long, however. (blush)

46832. thoughtful - 1/31/2017 11:51:47 PM

You were with us in spirit for sure!

46833. judithathome - 2/1/2017 12:20:49 AM

No kidding I was!

I am atip with anticipation TONIGHT to see who will get the ROSE of Supreme Court Justice at 8pmEST!

I'm actually shocked this asshole didn't delay the announcement until halftime at the Super Bowl on Sunday.

46834. wombat - 2/1/2017 12:27:55 AM

I Spend more time on Facebook.

46835. judithathome - 2/1/2017 12:45:30 AM

I loathe Facebook...but whatever.

Actually, I don't know why I do...except for the fact everytime we meet people for dinner or any social situation, everyone seems to be more concerned with taking pictures of their damned meal and sending it to "facebook friends" or answering every single tweet they GET while we are sitting there asking how they've been, etc.

I used to think it might be because we are boring dinner companions...but trust me, we are NOT.

Ask around...probably to FACEBOOK FRIENDS, while they are out having dinner with fascinating companions.

Sorry...I'm a luddite....HUGE eyeroll. Ha!!!

46836. arkymalarky - 2/1/2017 1:15:25 AM

Pictures of food is actually what I miss most about Facebook. Especially from the former exchange students I was Facebook friends with.

I'm waiting on the DNC to pick a new chair so I can start volunteering locally, but I don't want to do it until they have their new leadership and start making some structural adjustments that make it something besides pissing in the Wind to work with them.

Facebook and other social media was a big part of the reason the women's March was so successful, and it's a tool organizing that people are going to have to embrace if they're going to get word out and have frequent actions.

When we were doing the rural ed organizing, we didn't have Facebook, and we sent out email through networks. Facebook and other social media venues are a lot more effective in that regard and reach a lot more people a lot faster.

Thank you Thoughtful!

The best I could manage was to wear my soft kitty hood all day...it does have ears.

Crazed with the start of the new semester and a new, additional class for zero period.

Getting hooked up with some friends to either join or start an Indivisible group. We spent Sunday evening tossing around design ideas for yard signs to promote American values like liberty, justice, tolerance, and a total repudiation of tyranny.
