What is social media FOR? Sincerely. I’m not sure what purpose it serves for me anymore. I would have said information and connection once upon a time, but now it feels like overwhelm and many people are not really interested in what others have to say. So what is it FOR? What do you get out of it?

Ok, now go after the suspects who fatally stabbed a migrant teen in NYC for not speaking English. Not seeing any updates from NYPD or on the news.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Fun Fact: elves on shelves are often reassigned. After several years of service, our elf, Simon Jinglestein, was assigned to another family and we never saw him again. Best part? We didn’t even have to throw him a going-away party.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. Unless you voted for Dump. Then, may your turkey be dry, your dressing burnt, your pies runny, your sides unseasoned, and may people use the word “moist” incessantly to describe your nightmare.

The Trump criminal cases were sabotaged by a SCOTUS he stacked and a judge he nominated. MAGA folks are going to try to gaslight that the cases against Trump “fell apart” as opposed to the truth. FWIW I will only refer to Trump as “our criminal president” and I suggest every Democrat do the same.

Dear federal employees in fear of their jobs - You are the spies now. The whistleblowers. The only chance for the truth to get out into the world. The only true information that's going to come out of this administration is whatever the insiders can leak, so be there to spill that tea.

I grew in the PNW; many there were interned. The community talks about it, and has an annual memorial. In the SW now; real history is “leftist propaganda.” Surprise: childhood home = Blue, current home = MAGALand. It CAN happen again, and Red states where real history is taboo lead the charge.

The “nonprofit killer” bill is coming back is likely to pass unless many of the 52 Democrats who support it flip. Read @hurwitz.bsky.social on how “material support” aimed at Palestinian protestors could gut all news/NGOs www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

My grandfather contracted polio before there was a vaccine. It is a HORRIBLE disease and the effects on my family were far-reaching. Make sure your jabs are UTD (and stock up on fluoridated toothpaste).
