It’s Easter (almost). Just past Passover. Past Ramadan. Religious or not, can’t we have at least one day suspending the hatred and greed and just being grateful for being alive? We’re actually all in this together.

Please never say, “my vote doesn’t count.” 300,000 votes over 10 swing states give us back viable control. It’s election to election, person-to-person engagement. We can do this

Please support Josh. This is where we need to look outside our state and focus on reclaiming the country, seat by seat. He has an uphill battle

I was obviously confused: I voted for Fetterman instead of the more dependable Punxutawney Phil.

Did anyone else expect Trump to proclaim, “the Chiefs won!”? Then there would be law suits. The Supremes would back him up.

By all means, we need calls daily to
Put pressure on elected reps. We also need the quiet, steady drip, drip, drip of person-person dialogue. Don’t take on the ragers. Just talk to people again.

A little frustrated with BlueSky’s word limit. We need to organize and strategize. It can be done. First, we need a medium we trust to do so. Ideas?

It’s time for RE-humanization. Person to person. Random acts of kindness. Meanwhile, keep informed on active congressional races in other states and add your support. Anybody see the Democratic leaders? Anybody?

I meant what I said
And I said what I meant:
If you can’t be faithful
100%,
Just go back to Braddock
(We’ll lend you our cars)
Or maybe sign up
To join Elon on Mars

I’ve spent a lot of my life reading to/with children. Therefore, re: the current situation: I reference Yertle the Turtle and The Emperor’s New Clothes. Don’t accept the spin.

I believe we should show John Fetterman the same loyalty he has shown to us. Who asked for Joe Manchin II?

You have to be taught to hate, to demonize, to objectify, to fear “the other”. Hate is all around us now, nourished generationally. It’s so nice to find people who reject hate as a core value.
