Boomer who knows her privilege... Democracy is hard - never knew until 2017. No longer curious about why Rome collapsed. Natural textiles, Cats, Boston (Warren is my Senator🗽)
The poorer you are, the quicker any benefits run out from the #BBBill.

Now I understand how it was possible for the US to turn away Jewish refugees from Germany before WWII.
I still don't understand the hate, however.

Done. Did edit the message a bit but the process was smooth
UPDATE: We have now sent over 20,000 emails to Senate Democrats considering voting for Trump's CR.

We're telling them to vote NO on both cloture and final passage.
🚨 NEW: We just launched a one-click email tool to contact all Democratic Senators who are still undecided on the CR.

Contact them and tell them to vote NO here ⬇️

Sweet Solstice, Merry Christmas, & (or) Happy Hanukkah!
Any other celebratory holidays this week? (Always learning, right?)

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies!

BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that.

MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

Patel has promised*fidelity* and he means to the president, not the US Constitution.

This says it:
Biden erases a thing the GOP House did. Nearly the only thing.

@franzanth.bsky.social about your scrapers list - it looks like Science News (scinews) is the legit science news org.

The more of us block them they less we see them. Maybe they'll go away.
Unfortunately, looks like RT has gotten a toehold here which sucks.

Looks like our suspicions were on point....
Yi Peng 3 had left a Russian port before the attack, was closely tracked by Danish naval forces as it attempted to flee the region..this mirrors last year’s controversy surrounding the Chinese ship New Polar Bear that damaged the Balticconnector gas pipeline. ⤵️

Russian-captained Chinese ship seized by Danish Navy for cable attack
On November 19, the Chinese vessel Yi Peng 3, captained by a Russian officer, was intercepted and boarded by the Danish Navy vessel Y311 Søløven, sources say.

Need a copy of your SS card? Passport renewal needed soon? Maybe get those applications done this year. (Not trusting the new Congress with much - & they start January 3rd.)

Watching Simone Biles - summer Olympics while zesting lemons. Still feels like peeling - the while fluffy bitter part doesn't seem like peel. But technically it is. I had to check many times.

Looks like Bluesky is finally getting really interesting. Taking most of the really interesting stuff away from what used to be a cute Blue Bird.

Obama's 1st inauguration. Big school assembly. The kids & adults were so excited! District (Boston) head came for it. {Ass-hat principal couldn't figure out how to welcome her and the delegation. Quick work with another teacher (K) & our little ones escort them to the front row.}
