At the shelter where I have once again lost control of a photo shoot. 😔 Last week they took in 28 CATS from a hoarding case, so they could really use some financial help right now! www.hsccvt.org/donate

His gerrymander district doesn't help.

WSSC declined to hear a case on the voting districts for the congressional level. Their reasoning was in fact spot on. It is liberal court 4-3 currently.

Maybe after this round and if WI still has a Democrat Gov the case can get brought up again.

Most farmers cannot read past a 7th grade reading level. Hence why Republicans hate educated people and love to defund education.

Oh maybe if farmers would stop voting against their best interests election after election.

There is a R in from of his or her name well that is good enough for me.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Northern WI is the same way. I drive up through there time to time. Duffy was their representative. Before that a long line of GOPers that were absolutely worthless.

Seeing all the shanties and shacks flying their Dump Flags thinking to myself. Man nothing like voting against you best interests.

I knew Texas was bluer years ago. Maybe one day with fair voting districts Texas will go purple.

Jasmine Crockett is amazing. I like her style and her point of view more than most Democrats. She is sharp and intelligent.

We made up a map of all the donations to our hay campaign from the United States and we almost have the whole country! Does anyone from the grey states want to help us complete it?! donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...

Map of the United States with all of the states colored in different colors according to how many donations they have given. It’s shades of green and blue and purple, except for the states with no donations, which are gray. the states with no donations are Alaska Mississippi Iowa, Oklahoma South Dakota Wyoming, Montana and Delaware.

Betting she is from 1 of the WOW counties that surround Milwaukee. Which are all republican strong holds in the state of WI.

Agreed I have no pity for that back water state. They made their beds they can now sleep in them.

They voted to hurt other people but they ended up hurting themselves. Good old Idohell.

That stated voted for it. They made their beds they can now sleep in them.

I do understand other people who didn't vote that are being hurt as well.

If she keeps getting money from lobbyists she doesn't care.

She knew what she was voting for. DT has been in politics for 10 years now. Give or take a few years.

She was voting to hut other people. She made her bed she can now sleep in it.

Those states are so red they will never change. Due to the fact the constituents see a R in front of a candidates name. They are like good enough for me.

Also suppressing voting rights help.

He is technically 3rd VP is 2nd. But I knew what you meant.

merchant15.bsky.social @merchant15.bsky.social · 7d

All the GOP voters in those states will just scream fake news. Then be told by the GOP to continue blaming the Democrats.

She will still vote Republican I am guessing.

I am sure all the republicans in Idaho are thrilled about this! Even though I am pretty sure none of them could find Qatar on a map.

I bet they will welcome those Arabs with open arms.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

I think it is ok when it comes to Chicago style pizza. At times it is more of a casserole.

If you have never tried you will enjoy it. Me I prefer New Style pizza. So good!

Stay safe and thanks for being a good neighbor.

Chicago is a great city. So much there to do and see. You can walk to a lot of things. Take the L-Trian as well.

I don't blame you for not wanting to visit right now.
