But, these curb cuts end up helping others like kids on bikes, people with strollers, elderly individuals, etc. What was originally designed to help people with disabilities actually ends up helping everyone. So let’s stand up to protect these laws because they are here to protect and help you.

And let’s talk about the ā€œcurb cut effectā€. Curb cuts are those ADA required ramps at the corners of street sidewalks that all people in wheelchairs and people who are blind and use white canes (that’s what the bumps or lines in the pavement at curb cuts are for) to more easily cross the street.

Thank you for elevating this. šŸ’œ

Yep and every damn member of Congress need to be visible at a protest on Saturday.

Once again, I freakin’ love Philly. If you haven’t been there you’ve gotta go! Great food, art, culture, nightlife, people, history. They’ve got it all!

Once he and his cronies are gone we are totally ripping that crap down.

And she’s a shitty, racist human being who looks like she never bathes. Go find a bar of soap, lady… and maybe wash your mouth out with it while you’re at it.

Whatever you do, don’t go on NextDoor. I found where the 38% is while posting for a neighborhood org and those people are unwell. So hateful. 😳

šŸ˜‚ love it!

Yep, that was a major reason in our state and serving large rural areas.

Oooo!! I love those! Definitely going to use those this weekend.

I love this!
comment in response to post
šŸ’Æ! I am also very concerned about that. And here’s an example not a lot of people think about… cuts to broadband programs that are helping rural communities get access to internet services.
comment in response to post
Yep. Staying focused on the good work we can do for as long as we can do it.

It’s really not fun at all. It’s pretty stressful and people I know from multiple states are expressing the same concerns with the exact scenario you describe. We’re being kicked while we’re down.

The federal government takes over the command and control of the National Guard units during times of federalization. Note that they haven’t been officially federalized in CA yet… yet.
comment in response to post
From a mil friend. No, once the National Guard is officially federalized, the state loses control over it and it becomes part of the federal armed forces. The president can then deploy federalized troops, even without consent of the state governor.

Let’s talk about how state budgets are being impacted by federal cuts. Things like human services, public health and environment programs, voc rehab and unemployment insurance programs, workforce centers, VA programs, libraries, etc. I’ve had two cuts so far in two months with more coming.

Thank you. I was going to say the same thing.

G-PERS. UK plane. I thought it was super cute. Wish I had a photo of it.
comment in response to post
And I say this because nearly all news outlets are exclusively reporting on arrests instead of the bigger picture. This is not balanced reporting. You’re generally a good reporter. Help provide the full picture.
comment in response to post
Can we get some focus on the fact that, again, another city had largely peaceful protests & out of 1000s of people (or 100s, depending on reporting) a mere 17-18 were arrested? Even the mayor is blowing this wildly out of proportion and it’s hurting the 1st amendment rights of peaceful protesters.
comment in response to post
Great minds. I did the same.

Thank you for your support in all of these states. And for all of the help during Katrina and Rita. That was a personally devastating time for me and my family and FEMA was so critical to helping us get through it. šŸ™ā¤ļø

Yes! And Abigail is my favorite founding mother. Good choice!!šŸ‘

Eek! I try to make peace with them and other stinging creatures as much as possible but it’s pretty hard to avoid what happened to you chopping up that tree. Glad your weren’t allergic.
comment in response to post
Yep. Can confirm all of this.
comment in response to post
Absolutely! Dang, that show was too good.

I think between MSNBC’s sudden update a little while ago about the list of cities where Nat Guard is being deployed, and this video here… yeah, you can pretty much guarantee it. bsky.app/profile/hunt...

And Londo knew a great deal about war and betrayal.

We really need to be careful about what we share. Yes, cops often break their own already busted windshield in order to drive the vehicle back to the station. Here’s a video reporting from 5 years ago about this same scenario. youtu.be/7LTeTUtbKvo Cops have done enough damage w/o conflating things.

Tips: if you can, wear neutral, dark, non-branded clothing plus a hat or other head covering. If drones or helicopters are flying overhead, head for the trees or other covering.

It is a sort of unspoken rule or agreement… and yet Obama *has* weighed in some because this president is so freakin’ awful and dangerous. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø
