I think about those that signed up for CISA’s services to scan their networks. I think I would have found a replacement for that service sometime last year. Gift Link www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

Since my retirement accounts are going to be worthless soon, I guess I will be working into my 70s. I can’t bear to look at the market right now.

R.E.M. Is For Planned Parenthood. What they’re fighting for is pretty simple: the freedom for everyone to control their own bodies, health, & lives. Everyone deserves access to safe, high quality, affordable care. Go to ImForPP.org to get involved m.youtube.com/watch?v=7y9U...

When someone tells you they couldn’t care less, believe them.

Equal work for equal pay. It’s that simple. This Equal Pay Day is a reminder that women all across this country are still underpaid, despite the same work and skills as their counterparts. It’s unacceptable. Will always stand up for equality and fair pay.

I’ve been jamming to this song for years. Here’s a live version from the late, great Jeff Healey. youtu.be/crsG0Y8IQy4?...

This seems pretty serious. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Guidelines about accommodating people with disabilities are being scrubbed from the Justice departments website in an effort to … reduce the cost of groceries. Once again disabled people are targeted because the government assumes no one will speak up for us. Speak up. We need you.

Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This sounds like corruption and needless spending.

Don’t let Trump’s & Musk’s constant efforts to distract us keep you from focusing on the real issues, like the SAVE act, which will take the right to vote away from millions of American citizens. The voting rights of women are especially at risk if this bill passes. open.substack.com/pub/mindysch...

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

Well this is horrifying.

The human cost

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

Grateful today for a Georgia peanut farmer who lived the teachings of his faith.

I love this town.

When the lies were told about about President Biden and his son Hunter, they were bullhorn-blasted loud and long for everyone to hear. When the liar was exposed? Quiet as church mice. This should be a MUCH bigger story.

If ya know Ya know 😂😂

Facts:

Did you send your letters to your Senators yet telling them to oppose Hegseth? Now is a great time to do so!

I have a large box of photos from college and more from my son’s childhood.

Pretty sure most of the general public is not fully aware of this either.

100,000 children go blind every year as a result of Measles. Vaccinate your children. People tend to think of it as just a rash. It can cause serious complications. Measles in a pregnant woman is scary.

Tried and true for most electronics but for countries? Not so much.
