Excellent thought on Amy Acton’s character.

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

At 250 year old, this cottonwood is/was as old as the US. What happened to this tree today is symbolic of what is happening to the US.

For the record, my vote cannot be bought for $90 (or $200, $2,000, $5,000 or any other sum). I don’t accept bribes nor do I sell my vote. My personal ethics and morals simply don’t permit it.

June 1972: Washington Post causes uproar in nation by exposing Watergate. September 2026: Washington Post causes uproar in nation by asking if one should take iced coffee to a job interview. My, my, how what is truly worthy of one’s energy and interest has changed!!

Vocabulary word for the day: Snollygoster - An insulting slang term used to describe a shrewd, unprincipled person, especially a politician who cares more about personal gain than public duty or political principles. Used in the mid-1800’s.

Condolences to Norway on the loss of a truly good man. Norwegians were blessed to have a leader who sincerely cared for his people.

Our king died this morning. A good man. A man of the people. He brought people together during hard, celebrated with people during good times. He was called Norway’s grandfather in his later years, and it fitted him perfectly. I just wanted to get that out there. May he rest in peace.

I’ve tried to let go of this thought but it remains. Grim Reaper, yesterday you took 80-year old Dolly from us. Today you took Tim Curry from us. Both truly good people. To make up for this loss, could you take the 🍊one from us tomorrow? Please.

Glad she & her literal partner-in-crime were found guilty. She represented my school & as principal, at numerous meetings, listened to her spew how she cared so much about student success. All that time, she was literally stealing from children’s opportunities to learn. www.koat.com/article/sher...

One of the three ICE detention centers in my state is about an hour away from my home. Watching this was like a punch in the gut, more like a throat punch then a gut punch. If one travels 28 miles north on the same highway, one come upon Zorro Ranch. An evil stretch of road, for certain.

Every American needs to watch this:

Blanche has been confirmed as USAG in an after-midnight vote. It's now up to New Mexico & New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez to hold some Epstein criminals accountable for their actions. Though limited to Zorro Ranch crimes, I believe Raul will do his best to do so (as I know him).

Dr. Fauci guided the US through the AIDS crisis, swine flu, Ebola, Covid, & more. He deserves better. I am grateful for him saving so many lives. This inquisition is led by Rand Paul, a non-certified "physician," shameful, insolent, & abusive jack wagon participating in the 🍊💩 retribution tour.

4 years ago when I was a principal, I was about half an hour late to work. Our secretary & a couple of others called to be certain I was okay. One of the school district policies was to have a medical note after 3 days. Mitch McConnell doesn’t have the standard of accountability a principal does.

Thanks to the 💩🍊, the US is cursed whether they allow Balogun to play or not. The US coach now decides whether to play Balogun or not, which will be a test of his ethics & morals. The 🍊💩 derives a sick pleasure in peeing in anyone’s party punch to ruin anything & everything connected to joy.

Today was inspiring. I watched part of the Knicks parade and then all of the Obama Presidential Center ceremony. I was reminded of the greatness of our country and why the 250th is something to be proud of, despite the temporary chaos.

Great points in this article. Why does our society elevate men who sexually assault others and are involved in domestic violence? Why does our society freely offer some sports “heroes” a free pass despite their felonies?

Ghoulie DiCaro@juliedicaro.bsky.social

Women make up nearly 50% of the NFL fan base and make 60 to 80% of household purchases. It would be so easy for us to tell the NFL we’re boycotting until they get their shit together when it comes to violence against women. But for some reason, we just never do it.

When a photo is worth a thousand words)again). As a retired educator, I recognized the few students who would be ostracized like this. I attempted to help them see the consequences of their actions so they wouldn’t have a life like this.

This speaks volumes of the character (or lack of) Paxton from someone who knows him intimately.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico: “I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.  That’s why I'm supporting you.”

Same old lies, just a different puppet.

I have my health insurance license in every state but NY and I helped people sign up through the marketplace last year In order to do so, you must confirm that you have a SSN and provide your tax returns from prior years This assertion is utter bullshit

Today, 6/2/26, in Ruidoso, NM, ICE took a preschooler from a Headstart program and their parent as the parent was dropping off the preschooler. To clarify, a preschooler is 3-4 years old. Ruidoso is a small mountain tourist town with a population of approximately 7600 people.

Congrats to Hunter Biden for his 7 years of sobriety! That is a difficult but rewarding journey. Also, be warned that snarky comments to him about it will receive an appropriate response! 😄

Talarico is simply an honest, good Christian with a true understanding of Christ’s teachings and he believes it should be applied to one’s daily living. That’s what scares the bejeebers out of the MAGA “Christians.”

The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social

The FCC, in effect, banned James Talarico from appearing on Stephen Colbert's show last week to prevent the Senate candidate from Texas from getting attention. It backfired. He got more attention than he normally would. But what did people end up seeing? Two decent, caring men talking about God.

Such joy, intelligent banter, and simple respect for each other. Stephen Colbert Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, and Jimmy Kimmel were remarkable. It was an hour of happiness, simply watching it. Unfortunately, sadness comes upon me, recognizing why the Strike Force Five reunited.

A prime example of “hypocrisy personified.” Well said!

Qasim Rashid, Esq.@qasimrashid.com

At the mere mention of a shooter in the building, watch how Stephen Miller, Kash Patel, and Erica Kirk react. These are the same people demanding our children endure hundreds of school shootings a year — they expect kids to be braver than they are. This is hypocrisy personified.

Happy Earth Day! We usually sit a couple of seats away from this stained glass in our church. Last week’s sermon from our insightful pastor focused on how we are charged with taking care of the Earth. May we all do something that makes the Earth a better place!

Robert Mueller has passed away. He was a decent human, which we need more, not less, of in this world. He had Parkinson’s, which my mom had for 30+ years, which indicates a strength many don’t recognize. Condolences to his family. Also, there’s not one micro-milligram of humanity in the 🍊 💩.

I realized each day I make a decision as to: 1) Go on Twitter & see posts from condescending, entitled, gullible, and/or ignorant tweets, then make snarky comments or 2) Go on Bluesky and see posts that inform me, and support democracy. Here I am. 😊
