don't share pics of the Parks much... mostly because I can't take pictures for the life of me, but I wanted to share this.

The Old Courthouse, the place where Dread Scott fought for his freedom. It was short lived for him, yet was also a crucial point in US history....
It's also worth noting that the Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott..

The ruling was that he was not a citizen, not a real person, that he was only property.

This is what happens when racist bigots hold power....

This is what is at risk if #Kavanaugh takes a seat in the Supreme Court.

We cannot allow for what is now seen as the ultimate symbol of justice to revert to these older times. We cannot allow for it to be a political weapon as it may soon become...
This is not the 1900's...

All people are equal. All people have a voice.

We will not stand for Trump seating #Kavanaugh

We will not stand for the silencing of women. Or the attacks on those not white. Or those not christian.

We will not stand for fascism.

We will #Resist
Dred Scott*

Sometimes I hate auto correct...

Let's get batshit crazy here for a moment...

Let's assume that tomorrow, Trump declares a national emergency under the authority of 50 USX 1501.

On the surface, it let's him build his wall, without congressional approval..

It does so under the authorities of:
33 USC 2293, which allows for the Secretary of the Army to defer civil works processes and apply the resources to the emergency.
41 USC 1710 which allows for executive functions performed by civil servants to convert to contract with out competition.

If you think the GOP was short sighted when they pushed forward their #GOPTaxScam you are mistaken and here is why....
At first glance, it's nice to have lower taxes. I mean who doesn't want to pay less.

However, lower taxes means less revenue from income taxes.

This also means the Federal debt increases.
Increasing the federal debt means that the government has to borrow more money to cover the bills.

I'll bet that you can guess who is lending the government money.

Mostly wealthy individuals and corporations (which, by the way, just got a massive tax cut).

JESUS OR JUPITER?

[...] "All were faced with an unpleasant situation: Plautius in conducting the war against his in-laws, Caractacus against his sister and brother-in-law, and Arviragus opposing his father-in-law, the Emperor Claudius.
"What Claudius and the Roman Senate had underestimated was the unbending temper of the #Britons. He was quickly to learn that it was an impossibility for the #British to make any compromise where their religion was concerned.
"His faith was his most precious treasure for which, as he has long proved, he would willingly die but never relinquish. His religion had taught him that his earthly life was but a stepping-stone to the eventual goal of immortality.

We're slipping into a zone where #freedom is in danger. It's outrageous that Abhijit Iyer-Mitra @Iyervval has been arrested by #Odisha Police on risible charges and denied bail. Please read and circulate my protest and appeal. Fight for your, his and everybody's liberty. #India
Meanwhile, courts have further extended P Chidambaram's protection from arrest in one of the massive financial scams in which he is allegedly involved. Clearly, for him 'jail is not the safest place'.
It is a week since Abhijit Iyer-Mitra was arrested for satire. He is still in jail. In this wondrous democracy of ours, #FreeSpeech fetches jail. Criminals and offenders are extended bail or, even better, protection from arrest. We are all complicit in this travesty of justice.

#wa தீபாவளி ஸ்நானத்திற்கு தடை !!

ஹிந்துக்கள் தீபாவளி அன்று குளிக்கக் கூடாது என்று பாப்கான் என்பவர் தொடர்ந்த வழக்கை மிக மிக அவசர வழக்காக இரவோடு இரவாக விடிய விடிய விசாரித்த சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட், அதற்கு தடை விதித்து வரலாற்று சிறப்பு மிக்க தீர்ப்பை வழங்கியது.
இது பற்றி தீர்ப்பில், ஹிந்துக்கள் பண்டிகை என்பதால் தைரியமாக தடை விதிப்பதாகவும், இதன் மூலம் பல லட்சம் லிட்டர் தண்ணீர் சேமிக்கலாம் என்றும் நீதிபதிகள் தெரிவித்துள்ளனர்.
இது பற்றி கருத்து கூறிய பப்பு, கங்கா ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்று கேட்பது மதவாதம் என்றும் தேம்ஸ் ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்றோ நைல் ஸ்நானம் ஆச்சா என்றோ கேட்பது ஸெக்யுலர் என்றும் தெரிவித்தார்.

ஸ்டாலின் இது பற்றி கூறுகையில், தீபாவளி பண்டிகை என்று சொல்லி குளிப்பதை மட்டுமே தங்கள் கட்சி எதிர்ப்பதாகவும்

!!NEW Q DROP!! 10/07/18 14:00 EST Q posts a quote from President Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream..... #Freedom #QAnon @realDonaldTrump Cont.

LIFE HAPPENS | “Sho, do you cook?”, my date asked. I replied jauntily, “I used to but not anymore. I now have access to a chef and can afford to order what I like eating.” #Thread #Life #Relationships
My date followed up by asking, “If your boyfriend asked you to cook for him, would you?” I grinned, as I realised my date was sadly playing from a script. I replied, “I don’t have a guy I like who’s asking me to cook, so I can’t say.”
I think my date thought I was being coy. But, I wasn’t. I was just being honest. A while ago, I decided to deal in reality and not hypotheticals. I have tried and failed to control life. All my effort got me was an anxiety problem and therapy.

Worth considering as this plays out: Ask yourself why Dr. Ford was interviewed in open session, on national television. Grassley repeatedly offered the options of a closed hearing or an interview in her home. Her lawyers chose an open hearing. They also advocated..
...for the Republican Senators to question her, rather than the sex crimes prosecutor, who they knew would be more respectful and experienced at getting to the truth. If her testimony is true, she wasn't aware she had the option of being interviewed in her home.
@SenFeinstein recommended the lawyer (Katz) in a phone call with Dr. Ford prior to informing the Judicial Committee of her letter and allegations against Kavanaugh. Neither Katz, Feinstein, or any Dems on the committee advocated for a closed hearing. They all wanted Dr. Ford...
