I just returned from a little Musk or Us rally in front of Frank Pallone's office in Long Branch, NJ. The word got out a little late so there were only 10 of us there. I didn't know a soul. The temperature was in the mid-20s, with wind blowing 25mph. Horn honking and cheers from passersbys.

The law partner of a friend of mine's daughter was one of the federal workers fired yesterday. She was working at the forest service. We will all hear these sorts of things in the coming days.

For Monmouth County, NJ From Indivisible/Mobilize Lets let Frank know we appreciate him and want him on the front for us, 📅 Here are some ways you can take action. Fri, Feb 21 @ 11am Musk or Us: Demand Frank Pallone (NJ CD6) Fight Back! ›

New Jersey followers. You didn't here this from me but the largest grocery chain,based in NJ has a mistake on their organic mango prices...they are$.49 until they figure it out and correct it. They are huge and delicious. You didn't hear this from me 😜

My new favorite line to the grocery store customers complaining about prices (especially eggs) is, "What did you expect? " I'm getting mixed reactions, but no one has reported me to management...yet...so I Persist.

The wind speed is higher than the temperature this morning. The chihuahua blew over twice and I had to grab onto a telephone pole once. Bet we could generate lots of electricity if we had more windmills.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

I am sad today. Last night at the grocery store a young man I trained as a cashier came to me and told me he had given notice and that his family will be moving back to Brazil in two weeks. His family owns an upscale clothing store and has operated it for years. They fear for their safety.

MAGA pushes against women

Seven years ago today, 17 students and educators were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. We remember the students and families who rose and called for action, and we continue to fight alongside them to put an end to our country’s gun violence epidemic.

I haven't been hitting the heart button much today. The appointments and hearings have taken the heart out of me.

We can flip the House, vote!!

I found this interesting and informative. Popular Movements...how do we get ourselves out of our fear shells and on our feet to support Democracy? www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFBP...

AOC makes a key point here. Publicly traded prison companies (yes, you read that right) stand to expand greatly by constructing and operating concentration camps. Since the Reagan Administration, these "private prisons" have set up shop and acted as "overflow capacity" for publicly funded prisons.

NY AG Letitia James is a real hero to the American People. She successfully sued and blocked DOGE from Treasury data. Drop a 💙 and share if you think she is too!

Last night at the grocery store a man complained about the prices. I countered with "What did you expect?" He looked sheepish and said, "I didn't expect this, nor did I expect the chaos in Washington." I gave him some info on the debates by the NJ candidates for governor, he promised to watch.
