I too have Southern heritage. My family goes back to before there were States. This is a well written truth that all should read, especially US WASPs, I think! Thanks for sharing this Libby!

I wrote this a few years ago. My hope is, some will take a minute to read it.

Musk says, "Live by the sword, die by the sword" to congressional Democrats & tech critics preparing to investigate his government ties & federal contracts for Starlink, after it emerged that he had secretly throttled access in Ukraine. Still thinks he's above the law. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

There are no coincidences in life. The decisions we each make…can & do make a difference. Fortunately that day, Kaylub listened to his…and what a lifesaving difference that made. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

Nebraska! Have you voted yet? You have a great candidate in #NE02. Denise Powell is focused on lowering the costs that are crushing families. She also will push to protect and expand Medicaid and increase investments in public schools. Elect Denise Powell Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District

The Statue of Liberty doesn’t stand in New York Harbor holding a permission slip. Freedom belongs to the people & so does the power to choose our leaders. Don’t surrender because you’ve lost faith in politicians.That’s when your vote matters most. #BlueWaveIn10Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

This is not a drill. This is not another midterms. This is the ten days where we decide whether we spend the next two years fighting or surrendering. I know what I'm choosing. Vote early. Flip the House. #BlueWaveIn10Days #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

In the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Ukraine agreed to relinquish nuclear weapons inherited from the Soviet Union. In return, the US, UK, & Russia gave security assurances, incl. commitments to respect Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, & existing borders. Russia violated that agreement. #ProudBlue

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #ONEV1 #DV1 You don’t want an hour-long lecture on why people must vote. Sure. A brief memo: Trump & his sycophants ruthlessly expand the limits of what they can do to hurt & control people, meaning YOU. VOTE BLUE TO SET THE LIMIT

Without a doubt. I've been trying to come up with bumper-sticker-length things to convince people that midterms are important, like this one. Of course, I get all kinds of responses about how it's over simplified. Well, yeah - that's the point, because a lot of non-voters just don't get it.

Noem putting out fake press releases by the State Department while her side piece is being investigated for bribery, sums up the whole Trump administration. Not only are fake they are always up for a bribe. #FakeAbdCorrupt #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.thedailybeast.com/ice-barbie-k...

Newsweek: Trump bought as much as $2.55 million worth of stock in pharmaceutical companies that later benefited from changes to Medicare drug price negotiations, including purchases made days before Trump signed the changes into law. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

1/ What ad company bids on 3.77 billion ad slots, spends about $109,000, and records zero conversions? Citizen Lab says there’s no good evidence it earned money selling ads.Researchers say it was built to find one person and deliver spyware direct to them #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

I didn't vote for a person to win in November. I voted to save Democracy. I voted to end the hate & lies. I voted to ensure Trump faces justice for his crimes. I voted to stop Trump's hostile takeover of America. Your vote is your voice, let it be heard! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

#ProudBlue #GTS #Empathy An interesting🧵discussing empathy. Is having empathy dangerous or is it lack of empathy that is? What do people think? The thread is longish, the comments interesting. I wonder if there is a generational gap in how people react? I know there is one related to pot, but this?

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

#ProudBlue #GTS #DemVoice1 Don't forget this is also a war on women. What can you expect with men like Vivek Ramaswamy, J.D. Vance and Donald Trump using the trauma of a then 12 yr girl's rape for political sport? Trump, "Leave it up, and look upstairs and say, 'Thank you God, very much."

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #GTS Stafford County man is being held without bond after taking a sledgehammer to the Iwo Jima monument in Quantico. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage was done to the monument. Unbelievable that anyone would destroy a monument to heroes.

1/ Same federal law. Missouri closed every hardship door. Virginia built a partial lifeline. Here's a state-by-state tour of what changed in Medicaid, SNAP, and disability care, and what it means. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

GOP controlled Missouri had 4 chances to protect people from losing Medicaid during crisis: hospitalization, medical travel, disasters & high unemployment. It rejected all 4. That’s not reform. It’s fake Christian cruelty. Both parties are not the same #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

WSJ: While the economy has long been the top issue for most Americans, a Fox News poll published last week found voters ranked government corruption as their top concern—above inflation and gasoline prices. Trump's house of cards is in free fall. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

1/ Tomorrow, two countries face consequential elections. In Brazil, Lula faces the son of a former president convicted of plotting a coup. In Serbia, students challenge a party that has ruled for 14 years. Both votes test democratic accountability. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Republicans would be fine having Al Capone, Vincent Gigante, John Gotti, Bugsy Siegel, or Donald Trump. Any and all Crime is very welcome in their House.
