Nana to Princess Aurora, girl Mom, former cat Mom (RIP Jerry), wife to a sweet old guy. Retired psychotherapist, PA to NH (future TBD), Canada lover, Francophile. 🇨🇦 Our granddaughters shouldn't have to fight the battles their grandmothers already won.
I know we are all focused on the Epstein files today, but I came across this in my NH news. Just in case anyone is thinking about those 8 democrats who voted to end the shutdown. Sounds like the Lisa Murkowski deal.
"Ending shutdown deal included 20 NH earmarks totaling $46 million."
If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates.
Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.
Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married?
Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.
Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...
No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.
This is who supports him & what they want to do here. How do we expose Uline? READ the article because you probably are not disgusted enough, then REPOST because you don't have to be disgusted alone.
TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.
America, we have a problem!
Just so you understand,
the USA will never be the same.
Our global standing will never be the same.
We may, in time, be able to repair some of this shit.
But it will never be the same.
A broke and destitute citizenry is a scared citizenry. A fearful citizenry is more docile and less willing to take risks and fight for their rights. They clutch what they have left close to their chest and obey.
It's what he wants. Let's deny this motherfucker what he wants.
100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Under the radar, Pam Bleached Blondi’s brother Brad Bondi’s client, Trevor Milton, was pardoned by Dump. Milton is the founder of bankrupt truck maker Nikola and says that his and his wife’s $2,000,000 in political contributions to Dump had NOTHINg to do with his full pardon.
Nothing to see here!
When you slap tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies, Americans pay the price. Fewer exports. Fewer jobs. Higher prices. All for what? Chaos.
To our Canadian friends: I’m sorry.
To Americans: Don’t accept this as normal. We deserve better.
JUST NOW: Senator Bernie Sanders calls out Donald Trump for his plans to take over the Gaza Strip: “There is a name and a term for forcibly expelling people from where they live. It is called ethnic cleansing. It is illegal. It is a war crime.”
These are the tariffs of the Republican Party-not just Trump. Congress voted to give Trump the authority to do this, & can vote to repeal them at any time. But they won’t, even though many know this will be a disaster, because they are afraid of Trump. So now they own this mess.
Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.
The end result of this amazing 14 hour speech by Senator Cory Booker will be the realization that old-guard leaders in the Democratic Party like Chuck Schumer should be passing the torch.
The time is now.
Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

What a POS
He ordered French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with his bigoted EO banning DEI

"This practice reflects the values of the new U.S. government. They are not the same as ours. The minister will remind his counterparts in the U.S. government of this."
