Hope it's not the same as the number of reporters on Airforce One who vocally push back and fact-check when they're verbally attacked and demeaned to their faces by the President, because then the answer is zero. 😒

Ours was 8. My husband and I shared a few minutes of wistful disbelief (tinged with denial) and then we bought him the same brand of deodorant his Dad uses. We told him how proud we were that he was growing up, then quietly went back to our maudlin musings.

"Taking a few minutes to laugh at animal pics, admire people's photography and crafts without being mocked and called a libtardpedo is just plain wrong, Bluesky user!"

He'll say he was only joking, and the major news networks will report it that way.

I was dismayed our voter turnout was so abysmal. Fewer than 117,000 voters. Of the thousands of union members in San Antonio, clearly very few made it to the polls for either side.
(But boy-howdy listen to all the local bellyaching at Texas AFL-CIO events!🙄)

Sadly, he was the more moderate choice than the MAGA candidate trying to unseat him. 😒

Sad, from my Republican Rep. who was admirable in his efforts after the Uvalde massacre. He should be smart enough to differentiate between a few turned over Home Depot carts and an actual riot - but he also called Elon Musk America's Prime Minister a few months ago, so maybe not. #TonyGonzales

The "Obama's going to take our guns" crowd would be in for the shock of their lives.

I told my husband that we're on the edge of a "Kent State" moment, except those flower-power college kids weren't casually armed like people are today - people who may start shooting back.

This was good piece, and such a great quote: "This isn’t some redemption arc. A ketamine-fueled Twitter meltdown is not a moral awakening."

Jobs report on the ground here in #SanAntonio: conventions are shrinking - labor requests for everyone from AV techs, forklift ops, & hospitality staff have been cut in half. A big event - a global cybersecurity conference - was postponed "indefinitely".

Those donations are pooled into the fund that stores set aside for the charitable tax deduction they were already going to claim.
They're just using customer money to fund their own tax write-offs.

When I had a heart "uh oh" my husband's union insurance meant that I received aftercare that I wouldn't have gotten if all I had to rely on was the ER. #unionproud

A big cybersecurity convention scheduled for June in San Antonio TX was "postponed indefinitely". The cosmetic car repair I'd earmarked to spend my earnings from that show on have also been "postponed indefinitely".
One less job for me, one less job for the repair shop - down the line it goes.

Watching with the sound down, nobody heard the activists. The guns, however, sent a very loud message - even on mute.

That implies my elderly, disabled year old MIL needs to either get out of her wheelchair and start flipping burgers with her one functional arm or curl up and die, right?

Thank you for addressing misinformation and I'm glad your brother was not (physically) injured. My condolences to him for his loss. 😓💔 Glad he has a sister like you.
