A work in progress, but determined to be fearless about surviving this cruel world, and finding things to appreciate in it.
This guy is as ineloquent as they come. He clearly isn't very bright.
Mary@mfbrodie.bsky.social · 4h agoThis is really tough to watch. On so many levels. The shocking takeway: Trump motivated abusers to get into office and flaunt their behaviors. Everyone should watch this. This is what an abuser looks like and why they get away with it. And are embolded with Trump in office. #SheShed
This war is about Netanyahu and the Toddler in Chief to stay out of prison.
A blue dot in AZ@demwarrior.bsky.social · yesterdayIsrael said the war was about the hostages. All 251 were returned by January 26, 2026. Hamas hasn’t fired a rocket into Israeli territory since April 2025. Sixteen months. Israeli strikes on Gaza haven’t stopped for a single day. So what is their excuse now?
When someone feels "seen" connections are initiated. When someone feels "heard" inspiration is germinated. Being seen and heard can launch an individual forward into becoming a force in the universe, an impetus for change. It may be the "source of Good Trouble" John Lewis instigated. #GoodTrouble
The Haunted Bookshop@thehauntedbookshop.com · 19h agoGuys, I'm breaking the thread for a moment. This should be a regular reminder: Make somebody feel seen. A nurse, a teacher, the dish busser at your favorite coffee shop, somebody with whom you share a slender but real connection. There will come a time when those moments are precious to you.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee just voted to advance Todd Blanche’s nomination as Attorney General. Todd Blanche led the Trump administration’s Epstein files cover-up. Instead of holding him accountable, they’re giving him a promotion. Shame on them.

MAGA, this is for you. Save, and refer back every time you think you're "owning" someone. Everyone else, please save and share with them each time. Just so tiresome. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
When it comes to data centers, they should be carrying their own weight, not raising Iowans' costs for anything, & should respect the communities they want to move to. Bottom line - anything built in Iowa should be contributing to Iowa, not extracting from us. https://bit.ly/4hNhEFJ

Henrietta Swan Leavitt was one of the “Harvard Computers.” In the early 1900s, she discovered the relationship between the brightness and period of Cepheid variable stars. Her discovery gave astronomers a way to measure distances to galaxies and changed our understanding of the universe. #SheShed
Partial federal funding has been approved for the western portion of the Rowe Creek Fire Complex—but the eastern portions of the fire in Wheeler County still need help. I’m continuing to fight for the FEMA funding needed for all of Oregon’s major fires.
🚨Don't fall for it. Todd Blanche didn't rewrite Trump's controversial IRS deal. He released a late-night DOJ memo designed to help secure the votes for his confirmation. We read the fine print. Here's what it actually says. 👇
