Liberal, Anti-fascist, Navy Vet, college educated, reader, Lesbian, political junkie, right now, disgusted with Democratic Party, 81 years and 60 of them working for change; I feel I just took an unwanted leap backwards.

The NYC Department of Correction is extremely serious about projecting an image of reform, lawfulness, and considered, sober judgment these days, so it has decided to rename its Lower Manhattan jail complex after... multiply disgraced criminal Bernie Kerik.

The Lower Manhattan jail facility briefly bore Kerik's name once before, until he was convicted of corruption.

Israel and Hamas have only agreed to the first part of peace plan. Palestinians are re-entering Gaza by the thousands. What could go wrong??…

Where things could go from here
Once the House reconvenes, a majority of already sworn Members can pass a resolution overriding the Speaker’s refusal or assigning the oath to someone else.
They can also move to remove the Speaker (a motion to vacate) if his actions are seen as abuse of power.

We need reforms, it seems to me the Speaker of the House has too much power.

OLD LIBERAL AMERICAN @marilynari.bsky.social · 10h

It won't get better until we have real reforms in our government and in our education system. A stronger educational system would improve our society by leaps and bounds.

(1/3) It is hard to believe it’s been a year since we lost Mum. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her. She had deep faith and a quiet strength that buoyed everyone around her, and she believed in people even when they didn’t believe in themselves.

I must confess, I thought she was still alive. I would seem her memory is a blessing.

Before we get all lovey-dovey with MIT, I read they had already made some of his concessions. Is this not true, Molly? I trust you to tell me.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

It was a bogus tip, but the homeowner said they could look around but his dog was aggressive, so he locked it in the bathroom.
When he went to get ID, agents opened the door the dog defended his home and they KILLED IT.

100% avoidable and did I mention- it was the wrong address!

He should be impeached and charged as a co-conspirator in Trump's treason.

OLD LIBERAL AMERICAN @marilynari.bsky.social · 10h

And We the People should make it clear to Qatar, Trump and Congress the answer is a big no. No to any country in that region where terrorist came from and flew planes into our towers in NY. Trump is too stupid to make the connection. How much are they paying him personally to get this done?
