This really isn’t that hard. Vote for whoever you want in the Primary. In the General election, vote for the winner of the Democratic Primary. Otherwise we’ll get more Republicans, which is the party that sent masked thugs to assault, kidnap, and kill my neighbors.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.New in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."
Guess what came in the mail yesterday? So excited to hold our beautiful book. @watchfulwizardp.bsky.social

Watchful Wizard Publishing@watchfulwizardp.bsky.social · 7mo agoSeventeen year old Ellie thought her biggest problems were her best friend moving away and the looming chemistry test, until an afternoon at her grandmother’s house led her to discover a smoky speakeasy in 1924 run by her great-great-grandmother Pre-Orders coming soon! @abenson19.bsky.social
This book was co-written by a grandmother (Alice) and a granddaughter (Greta). It's a great read.

Where is the press conference where all the Senators and Representatives stand together and condemn state-sponsored murder and affirm that they will not vote for a budget that funds a lawless murderous agency? Where is it? Did I miss it?

Did anyone else think 911 jumped the shark on Thursday? Or the whale?
Cover Reveal. My granddaughter and I collaborated on this middle-grade chapter book. It is now available for preorder and will be launched on June 12.
Important point that is being overlooked.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · last yr.This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
AOC: Together, without exception, is the only way we can win.
Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · last yr.AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together
We shouldn't have to beg senators to do the right thing. I've made my calls. They should be fighting for us, and we shouldn't have to beg them to do it.
Love this idea. Education. People, including myself, don't understand what is being cut and why it's needed.
Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social · 2y agoImagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media.

Jon King@jonkingnews.bsky.social · 2y ago“The corporate parents of news organizations do not care about news. They care about stock price, profit margins, and increasing shareholder value.” - Dan Rather This can’t be emphasized enough. And yes, that includes MSNBC and CNN. Corporate media is not the friend of journalism.
Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

ProPublica@propublica.org · 2y agoThe Nicaraguans who keep Wisconsin’s dairy farms, restaurants and factories working are sending home their most prized possessions, bracing for potential mass deportations. “We don’t have much, but what we do have is important.” New, from @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social
"I can't figure out what that is, but it seems too important to throw away." So we will have a circular object made of hard black plastic sitting in a drawer in our house forever.
I finally got myself to a theater to see Wicked, and I'm so glad that I did. What a wonderful experience.
I only allow myself 1 or 2 martinis a year. Starting the new year with a martini. I think it’s going to be a year that requires martinis. 😆😆
I just watched Die Hard, one of my favorite Christmas movies. Hans Gruber as played by the great Alan Rickman is one of the best villains ever.
James: A Novel by P. Everett, a passage struck me. "At that moment the power of reading made itself clear and real to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them...It was a completely private affair and completely free and, therefore, completely subversive.
I went to a Christmas cookie/candy sale at a local church this morning, because I don't bake. Now having homemade gingerbread and fudge for breakfast. Very nice.
