I can’t remember where I got this photo - years ago - to give it credit. But isn’t it a wonderful feed respite? I just sent it to someone on the other side of the political spectrum a few days ago and it opened up a wonderful conversation.

@poulos.house thank you for running and all your hard work to get elected. I hate that the “machine” won and that @repauchincloss.bsky.social wouldn’t debate. Markey debated Moulton & still won. Auchincloss played election games. I’ll vote for you again if you run again in the future!

It's been a lot of years since I've had to write anything but basic CSS (in the Wordpress websites I manage). Today I met a fun challenge, and once again the websites I used to use in my job came to the rescue (Stack Overflow, W3 Schools, and MDN). Dang, I have forgotten a LOT of syntax in a decade!

There's a lot of contrasts in this primary. Medicare for all — @repauchincloss.bsky.social does not support. He's the only member of the delegation not to cosponsor the PRO Act. He only recently signed onto the constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Honored and fired up to announce that Our Revolution Massachusetts has endorsed our campaign. Our Revolution is the grassroots movement that grew out of the Bernie Sanders campaign. Neighbors organizing to win Medicare for All and get big money out of politics.

We have sooooo much to do to improve everyday lives that has to do with privacy. Unwanted solicitations, entities selling our names, the amount of wasted paper (trees!) in unwanted mail. Texts. Phone calls. Being put on mailing lists if you have any contact with a business. It’s all too much!!!

NEWS BULLETIN.

Just followed the info in here to say ba bye to Gemini.

There are no words for something like this. I looked to see if there were any efforts to bring the children home. There are. This is a letter describing a program & inviting Vietnam to join. The U.S. should be doing this. The old U.S. would. But not under Trump. www.eeas.europa.eu/ua-oped-may2...

Great article. If you are in MA-4, please read.

Amen. Don’t just read this. Do it.

💜🤍💙

Okay. Why can’t we have politics like this in the U.S. disagreements using humor, not rancor. youtube.com/shorts/9i4fP...

Hey @sierraclub.org Trump recently ordered the most devastating dismantling of the US Forest Service in 121 years. All 10 regional offices gone. 57 research stations closed. 193 million acres handed to political appointees. I’m a member and want you to speak up! #SaveOurForests #SAVEUSFS

He gets it.

Just hanging tonight watching Nate Bargatze specials. Love comedians that just make good clean fun of real life.

Tiffany is running for Congress. Her #MaineRaising way of campaigning is the best, raising money for the people of Maine. I just made a donation to Ms. Nass fir her classroom. Will you?

I hate the money in politics. Each candidate should get the same amount. But, until that happens, I’ll pitch in. 3 candidates I want to see in Congress and have sent my first donation: @jamestalarico.bsky.social @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social @poulos.house

I’m voting for this guy! Join me if you live in the MA-4 district. We need policy to meet the times we are in. And representatives of the people, not the donor class.

End the war. Bring the money home.

Here’s a thought: if you’re going to start a war (any and all decision-makers) and send in troops, you need to be there with them in the fight. You can’t call the shots from your cushy, distant location. #WarIsNotTheAnswer

Our government is devoid of humanity. It’s all a game to them. Why aren’t there even enough people in power to stop this?

I have written postcards to voters through @tovoters.bsky.social. What I like about them: The messages are positive. And no names of voters are revealed. Just addresses. You put a generic term like “Valued Voter” as the addressee. (Other orgs share full names and addresses and that feels wrong.)

My Alexa Show isn’t connecting to my internet. I tried restarting. I tried it suggesting I bring my phone nearby (for whatever reason). Didn’t work. Good riddance, Alexa, don’t forget to close the door on the way out.

My former representative. Proud of him. Thank you @repmcgovern.bsky.social for saying what needs to be said.

I want to thank @repmcgovern.bsky.social for not supporting sending unconditional money to Israel, nor taking AIPAC money. I moved out of his district and am really disappointed in my new @repauchincloss.bsky.social's stance on these issues (and how much AIPAC money he has accepted. (#1 in MA)

Listened to some more of the latest news. Time for another moment of beauty. 😇 🎶 youtube.com/shorts/DTNtF...

Just a little spot of the beauty man is capable of creating. A break from the chaos. I think it's time to flood my feed with a little bit of magic! youtube.com/shorts/Wfm-V...

To my current reps: @repauchincloss.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social To my former rep: @repmcgovern.bsky.social To my governor (and former atty general) @massgovernor.bsky.social And to @gbhnews.bsky.social (BPR). PLEASE! And thank you.

I’m not in a place where I’ve had to film police. Yet. And I hope never. But, for those who are and for future me, if the situation arises, this is great info from a lawyer. youtu.be/CD8HQKYATCo?...

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to TIDAL, another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/lZe5w1H4 This is permanent for me.

If you're represented by a Republican, tell them it's time for Mike Johnson to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. No more excuses or delays. app.sosha.ai/s/B3TTaqnx

Most people know the healthcare supply chain is broken. Some already know there’s a solution that’s working! 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 is powering a new way for health systems to source medications. This isn’t a pilot. It’s already live across the country. 🔗 business.costplusdrugs.com

I’m going to delete BlueSky and other social media apps. Why? Because I have books to read and words to write and nature to explore and things to create and hope to preserve. I will be staying on Substack; it’s where my newsletter is published. Time is precious and I’m reclaiming it.
