Software by day. Shiba Inu wrangling, baking, jazz dancing, guitar fumbling otherwise. Rooting for Ukraine, democracy, and people not being shit to each other.
New Hampshire, the Live Free or Die state, has state-owned liquor stores. The federal government has taken stakes in private companies like Intel which would have caused Republicans to cry “Communism” is a Dem president had done it.

Co-sign. Also going way back to the Totenkopf tattoo. He was questionable from the start but so many people just wanted to believe in the fiction he put forward.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last mo.i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

AG Andrea Joy Campbell@massago.bsky.social · last mo.VICTORY: My office won our lawsuit to permanently block Trump's attempt to limit access to the ballot box through illegal proof-of-citizenship requirements and unfair mail-in ballot rules.

Lisa Marie@lisamarietea.bsky.social · 2mo agoThey come to America for five minutes and they figure out our men suck.
The grift is blatant and putting our fiscal health in danger. Any Dem pols need to fight this hard if we don’t want our banking system to go the way of the reflecting pool (scummy and dangerous)
Jeff Stein@jeffstein.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew: Trump’s family crypto business expected to soon be allowed to operate like a bank Decision will be made by Trump-appointed regulation Charter approval would allow US companies to complete transactions - like Venmo - on Trump platform, with cut for the firm www.notus.org/economy/trum...

I nominate Turkey. Fresh bread, cheese, tomatoes, and coffee. Also this may be controversial but Germany. All the cheese, cured meats, and the black bread.

Persepolis was an amazing work of art and it really made an impression on me. I reread it numerous times. It was gorgeous, it was funny, it was tragic, all at once. It offered a view of Iran and exile that we in the West never saw.
