Why can’t Republicans read?

#puzzle #specialday January 29 is national puzzle day. In honor of the special occasion encourage all to get a jigsaw puzzle set on your card table and spend the next week putting it together. It is surprisingly a lot of fun.

#ICE #Noem It is time to protest and stand up to tyrants

#ICE #Noem This girl did not deserve to die. The use of lethal power should not be used against American citizens. This officer needs to be prosecuted and Noem should be impeached. Her lies in defense of this killer should not be tolerated.

#vangogh #christmas On this date in 1888 Vincent Van Gogh chopped off his ear in apparent frustration at not having completed his Christmas shopping. Don’t let the pressure get to you. Have a Merry Christmas and happy new year.

#resist #trump I speak out against Trump on social media not because I will change people’s minds, but so this country will not change me. Be strong!!

#barbrarosejohns #africanamerocanhero Barbra Rose Johns, an American hero fought segregation, Farmville, Virginia had her statue replace the removed statue of Robert E Lee. Our memory will live on those who pass their statue.

#dickvandyke #taylorswift Dick Van Dyke and Taylor Swift both born on this day. Not the same year. But a pretty high-powered duo. Happy birthday.

#humanrights #unitednations On this day in 1948 the United Nations proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is one of the most translated documents ever, available in over 500 languages. Time for America to read it and practice it with our citizens.

#washington #trump On this day in 1884 the Washington Monument was completed. This monument is one of the many things that make Washington DC an amazing visit for history lessons of America. Do you think Donald Trump is going to put his name on the Washington Monument? He puts it everywhere else.

#movies #nuremberg #trump I just watched the movie Nuremberg. A powerful movie that everyone should see. It says a lot about what is happening in America today. We need to be aware of what the final goals are of this administration.

#ukraine. #independence On this date, 1991 the citizens of Ukraine voted for independence from the Soviet Union. We must continue to support their independence as Russia tries to steal more of their land and citizens for itself.

#rosaparks #resistance On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks, a Black seamstress in Montgomery Alabama was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a bus. This was swallowed by a bus boycott beginning the civil rights movement. A great example for doing the right thing.

#pong #videogames This day at 1972 a major breakthrough and video games occurred. PONG was created. That exciting game with the little round ball making a little noise as it bounced back-and-forth. How many exciting hours playing that game did you spend?

#drugs #trump So Donald Trump is pardoning one Orlando Hernandez, former president of Honduras,who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for drug trafficking in 2024. This is an investigation begun during Trump’s first term. Meanwhile, he is blowing up boats in the Caribbean without evidence.

#turkey #trump So I see Donald Trump as pardoned to turkeys prior to Thanksgiving day. They must’ve been convicted of some pretty major crimes to be able to join the 1600 people that were pardoned for breaking into the capital. Not to mention the wealthy individuals that contributed money to Donald

#charliebrown #trump Today is national good grief day. It was established years ago as a way to honor Charles Schultz creator of the peanuts characters. Unfortunately with our current government situation, good grief day is not a once a year experience. It occurs daily.

#kindness Today is World Kindness Day promoting kindness around the world. It started in 1998. On honor of this day I will refrain from saying anything negative about Donald Trump. KIDDING! New emails. An upcoming vote on releasing the Epstein files. It is too much to ignore.

#ICE #Theater #radio On this day in 1938 Orson Wells produced“the war of the worlds “on national radio. A production set our nation into panic of being invaded. Today we have people without faces jumping out of vans and attacking citizens and immigrants. After 87 years his production has become real

#nationalguard #mississippi Looks like a civil war. A red state with twice the murder rate sending their national guard to another state.

#movies #America Watch these movies to see what is happening in America.

#guns #lgbtq+ Guns versus gay

#guns #children So many distractions, we have forgotten about gun violence. We have to keep focused on protecting our children.

#Trump #Kids #learning Our president is teaching terrible lessons to our children.

#taxes #peanuts A simple reminder about cutting taxes for the rich

#nuts #politics Today is national nut day. The walnut is the world‘s oldest tree food dating back almost 7000 years. We are also celebrating the almond and the cashew. Donald Trump is the oldest living nut in government service.

“.. Pentagon reporters in Arlington, Virginia walk out of the building carrying their belongings after turning in their press badges. Reporters from nearly every major news organization would not sign new rules viewed as an infringement on First Amendment rights ..” @gettyimages.com

#halloween #autumn The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed over 2000 pounds. I wonder who carved that baby. And, how big a candle do you need to light it up? Have a great day

Compared to the rest of the world, the United States stands alone with the threat we face from gun violence. It’s time to pass common sense safety measures–that over 80% of Americans agree on–to make our streets safer.

#octopus #ocean #environment World Octopus Day started in 2006 putting the Oct in October. The Octopus is a very intelligent creature. The Pacific Octopus is the largest octopus and can be found in the Pacific Ocean between Japan and the pacific coast of America. Have a nice day.

#homeless #goodnews Manolo Betancur, owner of Manolo’s Bakery in Charlotte, North Carolina, has been giving out cakes to his homeless neighbors for more than 12 years. Some people have good hearts.

#chimpanzees #conservation A fond goodbye to conservationist Jane Goodall. We have lost a person who enrich our lives with her research into chimpanzees. She was a great leader in the effort to protect wildlife.

#coffee Today is international coffee day celebrating that wonderful drink that most people start the day with. Coffee is the most traded commodity second only to oil. What would we do without our little caffeine start to every day?

Let’s hear it for some positive news. My niece just completed. The grand grand ultra race. And covered 171 miles from one side of the Grand Canyon to the other side over a seven day stretch. You should be proud of Americans who are pushing their abilities to the limits

#guns #children Let’s put things in to perspective.

#guns. #murder A bit of important gun violence information.

#books #courage No matter how bad things look, we can’t stop.

#constitution In 2004 Congress passed making September 17 constitution day in honor of the signing of the constitution and it’s importance to the United States of America. It would be very nice if today’s Congress took the constitution as seriously as the Congress in 2004.

#billonaires #teachers #firefighters Income inequality and inequality of the rules

#books #libraries And the current climate of anger and mistrust, it might be good to read a good book. Here is a list.
