I used to be a blue dot in TX, now happily retired among many blue dots in (CA). I don’t post often, and I am mostly here to be aware and empowered. 💙 NO DMs or sales and I don’t want to be your special “friend” - I will block you. 🦋

This is excellent news! We shall see what happens when SCOTUS decides…

Really? 🤯😳 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Hey everyone - order yours NOW (if you didn’t order any in the fall of 2024). It may change the admin’s collective minds about their possible plan to destroy them. Or it may be too late. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Here’s the link to order: covidtests.gov

I am blown away after reading Danielle Sassoon’s letter to Bondi and Hagan Scotten’s resignation letter. They are both very much worth reading. Thank you both for your integrity and for pointing out facts in your letters. Sassoon’s is here: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

EXACTLY, I just said this! Very hypocritical. I’m surprised that Kraft and his foundation didn’t recognize this.

😳 After last week’s crashes, this is concerning. Perhaps this is the opportunity for a wealthy capitalist to invest in an effective nationwide train system in our country?

Insightful. Brilliant.

While no one wants Medicare fraud, the actions of DOGE chair and non elected stooge Elon Musk and his goons are outrageous. After reading that the VA systems aren’t allowing vets to download their records, I logged in to my Medicare account and saved my records. www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

Fact check #90,638,062, and that’s just since Inauguration Day.

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.

Meanwhile in Denmark 🤣

This. ⤵️ Buy from farmers markets too! Get a library card.

Never forget, never again. This is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Several of my family members died in camps. This seems an appropriate time to look back at comments made about the Holocaust and anti semitism just a few months ago. forward.com/fast-forward...

Another shot of the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge.

SO very glad you’re here to keep us steady and provide humor while doing it. 💙

Wonder what he’s getting from the incoming prez in return? 🤔 gov.texas.gov/news/post/go...

Who else is ready to have this report released?

After 3 earthquake notices on my phone, including one tsunami notice, I felt my first earthquake this morning in Hercules, CA. It’s interesting that no one else near me has reported it. I’m grateful the first one wasn’t a bigger one.

Apparently Mother Earth was unhappy with the felony sentence.

Just as the Unconditional Discharge sentence was announced, the earth moved.

So happy seeing them do the right thing.

Thanks to President Biden for this. We will miss you and your administration. 💙 abcnews.go.com/Politics/bid...

Looks like it. And yes we are! How embarrassing for our country. Of course we’re all wondering if this is an effort to refocus our attention to this land grab while other shenanigans are happening.

Ugh.

Does anyone know if Judge Merchan is still being protected with increased security?

Brilliant.

Repost this and follow us if you agree Hakeem Jeffries would be a much better speaker than Mike Johnson.

Judge Merchan has just ordered Trump to appear for sentencing on Jan 10th in the hush money case. The Judge will not incarcerate him. We shall see what happens next.

Happy New Year to those who celebrate! 🎆 I intended to post this yesterday but decided to postpone and take the celebratory wording down a notch due to the events in the news. Let’s hope that our year gets better. Let’s be kind to each other and get into some good trouble. 💙 1/

Good question. I’m from Austin and found the children’s board book Good Night Austin (think Good Night Moon) at a library book sale in Hercules, CA a couple of months ago. If only objects could share their history! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Agreed, Dan Rather is an eloquent treasure. If you haven’t checked out his Steady substack and/or newsletter, do. Wisdom to keep us sane in the near future.
