I can be a lot

Me: cats, crows, cake, books, tv, forests, true crime

An Old, a Poor, a hermit, dark humor, long winded oversharer, currently terrified & hopeless

Pro: inclusion, UBI, science, learning, kindness

Regardless of who gets the nomination, regardless of my own congressional reps betraying their constituents in extremely harmful ways,

I vote blue all the way down ballot; it's not so much voting for candidates as it is voting against GOP fascism rule

if we even get to vote at all in 2028

I'm a progressive blue Californian

Here is a list of all Newsom vetoes for the most current legislative session, it's barely the tip of the iceberg of his harmful career wide vetoes

A perfect candidate does not exist, but there are so many better candidates than him

Here’s what Newsom vetoed

Not every bill the Legislature passes makes it past the governor’s desk. Here’s what Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed this session.

I don't want to stop protests

I do want to stop this regime

I have given up on the current Congress; they obviously dgaf

I don't have answers

I would like to learn how protesters can effect meaningful change w/the least threat to their freedom and health

I know sacrifice is unavoidable

Jen needs a Wishing Well @jenmindelen.bsky.social · 45m

I'm not a fed, this isn't a psyop, I am 100% against this regime, they belong in prison, ICE needs to be abolished, & the way the U.S. is governed needs to be radically changed to make a fascist takeover impossible.

I just don't want to see protestors arrested, disappeared, and killed

Jen needs a Wishing Well @jenmindelen.bsky.social · 52m

Regardless of how effective / ineffective protests are

We can't give this regime more excuses to detain / disappear / disable / unalive us

The Regime is doing enough of that already, breaking laws that no one is enforcing

Let's not risk what little freedoms we still have

Be loud but be free

Jen needs a Wishing Well @jenmindelen.bsky.social · 52m

Everything you said is true

Protestors won't stop this regime no matter what they do or how long they do it

We need Congress to do their effing jobs & uphold their oaths & the constitution

The protests help morale, that's important, but protests won't stop what's happening now / in the future

I am really enjoying the singing, the music, the kindness I am seeing at protests now

They want us to "riot"

They want ANY excuse to respond with violence

Instead, we sing "This Land Is Your Land" at them

While wearing costumes that delight the children

Appeal. Disarm. Record. Reflect.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

November is Adopt A Senior Pet Month.

Flower, age 15, is here to remind you that seniors are cute, have love to give, can learn your routine and would appreciate safe retirement.

Kittens are cute too, but give a home to a senior.

Adopt the Seniors !

Very well done!!!💐

I have an old school illuminated alarm clock for the sole purpose of knowing what time it is when I wake up several times each night

Checking the time with my phone decreases my chances of falling back asleep

So, a clock

Which I forgot to turn back last night

Good morning, early birds

Trace evidence from the sheath was "collected on a post-it note & later transferred"

What the what?

You... collected DNA

...from the sheath that reportedly held the weapon

used in a quadruple homicide...

WITH A FUCKING POST-IT NOTE???
