@natogreen.bsky.social I genuinely don't know enough about correctional workers' unions to understand what's going on in NYS. I know police unions are... not like other unions. Any pointers on corrections unions or the situation? (P.S. USAn Bugler here, western NYer in Pennsylvania, a fan!)

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

The sad tenure of David Shipley at the Post - which slipped and slid from a silenced Harris endorsement, to a cancelled political cartoon, to this - is a helpful master class in how politely carrying water for authoritarians will eventually get you drowned.

I just turned on the tv and saw a scene from Mrs. Doubtfire. Robin Williams's character turned off the tv while the kids were watching The Dick van Dyke Show. Disguising yourself to violate a custody agreement is one thing, but that? He should never regain custody of those kids, never.

Right now, only eight states have laws explicitly requiring safe storage for guns. If we want to save lives, we need an immediate prevention plan. progressive.org/op-eds/bette...

Four movies I've seen from 1925: Battleship Potemkin, The Big Parade, The Gold Rush, and The Freshman. 1925 books I've read: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes popped into my mind first, and I got the year right. Many others, too, but that's a treat. The past is a jumble.
