15 years ago, a gunman opened fire at a grocery store. 6 people were killed and 13 were injured – including my friend
@gabbygiffords.bsky.social
Since then, Gabby has turned that tragedy into action as one of the most impactful leaders in our fight to end gun violence.
She is my hero.

Alito argues that all Trump needs to do to overcome the “unable with the regular forces” language in federal law is to simply say that he has “determined that the regular forces of the United States are not sufficient”. Thomas agrees.
I suspect they would feel different with a Democratic President

Tilting at windmills. Your crazy 80 year old uncle states are a "security concern" for the most powerful nation on earth. Are there monsters in the closet ?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

On Jan 2, 2021 DT said "I just need to find 11,780 votes" pressuring GA officials to "find" them. I am so disgusted. Today the pending charges were dropped. There were witnesses and recorded audio of the attempt to defraud voters. I am not naive, I know there is some corruption, this is F*cked up.

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Maybe there is too much sh*t going on... my calming thought of the day is, there is more to the US than the Federal Gov. It is f*cked up, 2028 is far away, but we can do good work at the community and state level, in business, non-profits, and Houses of Worship. We get to say what our country is.

“Mitochondrial challenges”, RFK Jr's latest made up phrase. It must be getting near the end of his probationary period where HR should access his job performance and determine if he is actually qualified for he position of Secretary of Health and Human Service for the United States of America.

Yet another scam.
The painful bits intended to pay for new spending are slated to be strung out. The bill wouldn’t shift the costs of SNAP benefits to the States until 2028, the Medicaid work requirements counted on to save $300 billions aren’t due until 2029.
