Tell me again that both parties are the same. Whine more about weak messaging. Bitch some more about our party while you cosplay a revolution while waiting for your hand to be held. Or, get out of your selfish bubble & start *being* a messenger. And, at the very least, get off your butt and vote.๐ธ๐ธ
@alyssonfergison.com Happiest of birthdays, my friend. You deserve a great one this year.๐ธ๐ธ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Reposting this, because getting closer to midterms, the populist rhetoric and misinformation from people with their own, selfish agendas is growing exponentially and getting even more ridiculous.๐ธ๐ธ
Hello to my peeps! One quick request. If you are going to use terms like centrist, establishment or even corporate, particularly on my TL, be prepared to define your terms and name names. I am seeing these words too often weaponized and meaning โDems I donโt like.โ Seems like a reasonable ask, no?๐ธ๐ธ
One of my favorite people, one of my best friends, and an amazing old broad who I am lucky enough to also have as my grandma, turned 96 today. She was surrounded by her kids, grandkids & great grandkids while she feasted on my spread of quesadillas, tacos and lots of cake. What a perfect night.๐ธ๐ธ
@corbin-trotter.bsky.social I donโt think I have ever seen this one, but wow? bsky.app/profile/mich...
Love this shot of Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward taken in 1965

@kinehora.bsky.social I love your user name. My almost 96 year old grandma calls a kinehora a โcanaryโ.
I just broke up w/ my Persian restaurant, and I am more upset than any break-up I have had, lol. For over a decade, itโs been my go-to to feed the fam, with drop-off for my grandma, but mainly for the only dish I can eat on a chemo night. Well, for โbusiness reasonsโ, the dish is gone. And so am I.๐ฅฒ
A lot will be said about Gloria Steinem today, both good and bad. She was one of my earliest heroes and a true guiding light for my mom when she needed the courage to forge *her* own path. I will remain forever grateful. Fair wind and following seas to one of the most fearless women I have known.๐ธ๐ธ
Love this so much.๐ธ๐ธ bsky.app/profile/elli...
I love the dedication in My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinhem
This thread is important. Too many not understanding the role of House minority leader combined with a certain faction/ the very online & their pet pundits spreading falsehoods about Jeffries has been insidious and destructive populist garbage. And the motives seem pretty clear to many of us.๐ธ๐ธ
If you're more concerned that Jeffries won't mouth an empty slogan now than you are excited to help Democrats get the majorities needed in both Chambers of Congress to do many things, fuck you.
Great post. It would be swell if certain factions, pundits and some of the very online people stopped worrying about labeling and focused more on listening.๐ธ
White Leftists and their Adjacents: โSo are you establishment, liberal, progressive, or DSA?โ Me: โBitch-statistically now I am unemployed, hungry, and watching my civil rights erode furtherโ FOH!
Rock Star. You need an example of what we *should* be looking for from our Reps? Look no further. This is what we need. Workhorses not showponies. She is doing the job we *elected* her to do. You know, for the Legislative Branch.๐ธ๐ธ
19 pieces of legislation and counting. Some Members of Congress measure their term in years served and viral moments, but I measure mine in legislation signed and dollars delivered to my community.
It is hard not to think that, while awful, unpatriotic and criminal, Nixonโs crimes feel almost quaint watching the level of corruption, greed and pain causing decisions made by Trump and fully enabled by the GOP. Today seems like a great day for the press to take a good look at itself, as well.๐ธ๐ธ
When I picture this fine day, I will always picture it the Herblock way.
So much love & appreciation for Joe Biden. On a personal note, I held a hilariously petty grudge against him for calling me โlittle ladyโ when I first met him on a Senate elevator in the 80s. Now, there are few people I hold in higher esteem for service to their country & love for their families.๐ธ๐ธ
