Pro tip: In a situation where an apology, "I misunderstood" or simply "I missed it" is called for, just say it.
And if someone unfollows you quietly, don't draw attention to it & then blame them for *insert emotion here* when they politely didn't call attention to it. 🙄

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

In 2025, VoteVets & our candidates kicked ass. We flipped the VA Gov seat red2blue with @abigailspanberger.com, elected @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as NJ's first woman veteran Gov, flipped a solid red VA seat, & passed CA #Prop 50. And we'll do it again in '26 and '28! Vets earn swing voter trust!

'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?
Immigrants make up a significant proportion of all the country's doctors. New policies are making it harder and less appealing for foreign-born physicians to come to the U.S.

I know there are reasons to be pissed at Amazon, but this week they've found a conscience... If you're on SNAP or Medicaid, they've made prime super cheap. 3.50/month for 3 months, $6.99/mo after. Get the prime pricing & 2 day shipping for HOLIDAY SHOPPING.
Just sharing in case anyone needs it.

Great news; let’s see if Felon47 fights it. The money has been there for several years. America’s taxpayers paid this LONG ago. The only point to withholding it is CRUELTY and trying to bully democrats.

Judge orders Trump administration to release billions in SNAP contingency funds
The government did rely on contingency funding to keep food aid going when it shut down during President Donald Trump’s first term.

💔Gabrielle Union on missing black girls that no one talks about. The overwhelming majority of these girls never even have an Amber alert. Trump claims he wants to clean up crime though. Bullshit.

Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate?

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.
Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful
