Some Americans were Army brats as kids — their parents were career military people so they lived all over the world. Me? USAID brat who lived in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Has anyone else noticed the president appears to be developing a dowager’s hump? The proper name for it is #kyphosis. It’s also known as #hunchback.

Babin R-TX

Garamendi D-CA
Greene R-GA
Nadler D-NY

@goodsuniteus.bsky.social reports executives @ HQ 4 discount retail chain, #Ollies, spend ZERO $$ on #lobbying & don’t donate $$ to ANY political candidates/parties. That’s rare — something most of us agree is #GOOD, regardless of our political beliefs.
BRAVO Ollie's! Applause 👏! Standing ovation!

#Dystopia anyone?
The year is 2075. Every movie is about Avengers. Each movie ticket costs $200,000 and includes a small FilmMonkey™ who sits on your lap and feels your emotions for you

(1 of 2) Too often these #polls say x% of “Americans” think xyz. What REALLY counts is what percentage of #VOTERS“ think xyz. But b/c we (or ppl who fund & use the polls) might not like the answer, they stick w % of Americans... (cont.)
Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say politicians should avoid heated or aggressive speech
Most Americans (78%) say elected officials should avoid using heated or aggressive language because it could encourage some people to take violent action.

I sometimes fix that for myself in the winter. I still remember the magazine ads for it in the 60s and 70s.

In the 60s, they also made peanut butter with bacon bits in it. Peter Pan or Skippy. Not sure which. Definitely not Jif.

With graphs like this, you can’t ignore that growing numbers of #elderly #voters = growing numbers of conservative elected officials. It’s almost like a law of #physics. #Demographics #Aging @aarpny.bsky.social @aarpfoundation.bsky.social @dscc.bsky.social @actblueorg.bsky.social

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

NOTE 2 older white #XENOPHOBES: There’s current, growing shortage of paid home #caregivers. Aging #BabyBoom worsens shortage each day. At same time we can’t/won’t pay caregivers enough 2 lure quantity needed. Historically #IMMIGRANTS relieve such shortages, yet they’re chased out of the nation.

Did you know the US #FederalReserve keeps track of something called the “Migration Fear Index”?

I wonder if it correlates with ups and downs of the #economy.

Finally, something most #polarized Americans can agree on…

“I believe in term limits and do not think #Congress should be a lifelong career or an assisted living facility.”
