There is apparently a work-around for getting Grijalva sworn-in. If MJ keeps obstructing, Dems in Congress can get her officiated via Federal Judge

If we just shift our buying days, how does that really hurt them?So no buying a ton of Christmas presents or any non essentials either in advance or afterwards. Food and meds only bought in advance. Or better yet, start a garden.

YIPPEE! Thanks for this bright end to my day

I'm not. Many of us are not. Encouraging fellow citizens to get involved, has been a fail. The frog does seem to be catching though.

Sorry, I can't. I would have to explain to you how it is.

Linda Krause @misspunklesmom.bsky.social · 3h

🤔 Interesting.

I'm a Floridian who has not been paying attention to Hochul. She's got it going on in this clip. More this, less Schumer. Actually ALL this, NO Schumer!

Serious question, why is his comment about sea legs insulting? Also, adorable pooch.

1 of 2) That's why laughtivism is key. Spread the word about laughtivism. It's literally TWICE as successful at ousting dictators than violence is. Portland has the right idea.

We should remember that the original metaphor was "one bad apple can spoil the barrel."

These Young Republicans aren't the bad apples that spoil the barrel. They are THE BARREL that have now BEEN spoiled.

The original bad apples are Trump and his band of racist, homophobic, misogynistic fascists.

Why do people always skip the point of the bad apples phrase. A bad apple spoils the bunch. Allowing “bad apples” to be part of your group makes the whole group bad.

Actually that's a really unkind thing to say, don't project someone else's motives & behaviors onto me. It turned out that the reason I suddenly got many followers after doing nothing different from the zillion posts where I didn't get new followers was because someone put me in a starter pack.

Abbott is always behind the curve....he has sent over 30,000 immigrants to Chicago on his bussing program. Now he sends NG to help hunt them down. Wasting Texas tax dollars and cruelty is what he does best.
