Advice to all those who try to follow me but have no picture, no background pic, no bio, and no posts. You look like a bot. Innocuous bios won't cut it. Go fix your profile and tell us who you are. I will ignore you if I have to assume you're a bot.
No, Antifa didn't attack the Capitol
No, the election wasn't stolen
No, the insurrectionists weren't tourists
No, we're not going to forget & forgive
No, it's not time to move on
No, we're not going to let Trump get away with trying to overthrow the gov't.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
If this country was truly βpro-life,β we would have universal healthcare.
FOX: Weβre active with Iranβhow do you get out?
El-Sayed: You donβt get in in the first place. We had an agreement that had contained nuclear weapons. We did not need to do this, so the first time the dunce got elected he pulled back on the agreement.
So glad to see PBS announcing their refusal to publish still images or videos provided by the MAGA regime in support of free and fair journalistic access. We need much more of this. ππ
After banning CNN, MS NOW & Politico from the White House, he installs State-Run television, just like they have in so many other countries...
Sieg Heil, ya'll.

A rogue GOP sheriff seized 650,000 ballots to chase a phantom voter fraud conspiracy. California Gov. Gavin Newsomβs ruthless response? He just signed a law making that exact stunt a 4-year felony. Read the trap they just set:

The logical progression of the high gas prices is public transportation being more important. European petrol costs much more, and they use scooters and public transportation instead. Live near your work, if possible. If you can't, blame your employer for not paying you enough. #gasprices
I'm so sick of Congressional hearings where the "witness" interrupted the question, talked over anything they didn't want to answer. The tech exists to put them in a soundproof room and turn off their mic when it's not their turn or when they don't answer the question. #hearings
In this lead up to the midterms, I remind you that spooky season also includes R*pe-publican lies to scare you. Let's stick to the vampires and ghosties.
Can we model our new tax code after the one in 1976 where we taxed the rich? Cheeto Benito says he wants to go back to the old fashioned ways. They might be so incompetent to agree with going back to the old fashioned ways. #taxtherich
Our postal service is more broken than simply Trump's EO on voting by mail. The pension system doesn't need to have 25 years' cushion. Put the automated processing machines back. Email is replacing written letters, so upgrade and stay relevant. #USPS
I want @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to understand the mood of the people. If we win, I want each Republican to receive a gift π on January 1, 2027. Inside is a tube of KY and a note, "Buckle up, Buttercup."
Non-political post: I quilt. Today I was a guest for the take in of the big quilt contest. I learned a lot just watching as others submitted their hard work. Nope. Not for me or my work. I will give my quilts to charity. #quiltfestJacksonville
Where's Mitch Trump's B*tch? He isn't working and he hasn't reported in to his bosses (us). I'm old and I have challenges. Retire, Mitch. I would fire you.
Speaker Johnson is supposed to be a Christian, but he's constantly referred to as a fake Christian. He just shut down the House after only 4 days rather than be kind to SA victims. He led the group that took away medical benefits for millions. His example turns us away from his god. #voteblue
I'm aghast at the boldness and stupidity of this administration until I remember that only the stupid run headlong and heedless because they don't consider and plan. Then again, it could be because they don't care if they hurt others. Could be both.
ROSIE: β.. I'm back in the spotlight all thanks to President Ompa J. Loompa, who is watching us this evening from inside a catering cart. You know, I couldn't have done it without you, sweetie. You brought me back just like you did with fascism and the measles."
