So what if the ppl who voted for him have buyers’ remorse? The return policy takes four years to execute—if it’s even honored. *sigh*

This. He saved himself by sacrificing the rest of us. I car wait to vote against him again, assuming we even have elections, much less fair ones (see CISA news of the day for more on *that*).

Went up to Hillsborough to join @commoncausenc.bsky.social in advocating for Judge Riggs to be allowed to do the job the people elected her to do and to make sure every vote counts. #votingismylovelanguage

Docs and nurses are great, too, but can feel cost-prohibitive. (The AMA does have some free info here: www.ama-assn.org/about/topic-...)

Yep. They are actively supporting this take-down. They need to be made to pay in their next elections. If we even have any more elections.

Meaningful event in Hillsborough today unveiling a historical marker recognizing a racial lynching that occurred here in 1869. Personally moving for me — my kin was here then.

Wow. This thread is worth your time, but the Dr Pagel’s upshot is: “the US is now a threat to the global economy, to global health and to global stability. The sooner this is acknowledged the better.”

Feeling angsty? Me, too. If you’re local, come to @epiloguebooks.bsky.social tonight at 6 for the @next-chc.bsky.social happy hour. I’ll share some ideas for personal readiness to help reduce stress and improve responsiveness.

Tonight’s calls to my reps were in defense of NOAA, an organization I have direct interactions with. (Cowardly Ted Budd hasn’t emptied his voicemails at any of his offices.) keep the pressure on, whatever you’re calling about!

No. No we do not. Call your reps to protect NOAA!
