Apparently there are people who don’t believe Helen Keller was real.
The NRA used to promote gun safety. The FDA used to promote public health. The SCOTUS used to promote constitutionality. It’s called institutional capture, the far-right is really good at it, and it’s killing us.

Respect to Bari because “failing upwards until your incompetence costs the richest people on earth billions of dollars” is a dream of every journalist
This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d agoJUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

I’m wasting lot of time on a dumb phone game lately — I keep saying I’ll quit when the harassment buy upgrades gets bad but it hasn’t yet — but I’m enjoying being less in social media. Trading one phone addiction for another.
Insane that Republicans want to take everyone back to 2020, but if that’s what they want we need to go to the tape.
It’s been so long since Dawn mentioned me on her blog. Good for her! She seems to be having a good time lately for a change. Sadly still has some weird alternate version of [otter] she’s still mad at. Weird.
Banksy. Learned a lot about him and his art today. His 2015 Dismaland was brilliant. I’m sorry I missed it. I love how he’s using his money. Subversive, cynical, and smart, with a heart.
Things I did today instead of doomscrolling (part 1 of 2) 1. Took son to doctor, dealt with subsequent meltdown 2. Did two hours tax continuing ed 3. Figured out dates & hotels for two autumn trips 4. Labeled bags inside board for ease of clean up
Between me and my husband, this autumn, we will be in Atlanta, Denver, NYC, NOLA, Atlanta again, Raleigh, Los Angeles, and Daytona Beach. Whew. Hitting a lot of major US cities. Is it a last hurrah for America? I guess we want to see more of it before it is.
Chinese food for the second night this week and listening to book 5 of Dungeon Crawler Carl and falling asleep on the couch… good end to a slow, rainy day.
After being transferred three times and ending up with who knows what department at my health insurance company, I was then given wrong info that lead to a half hour of aggravation that roped in my husband. *sigh*

Nanjala@nanjala.bsky.social · 6d agoA couple of months ago someone asked me “What do you think of the DJT administration’s policy on Africa?” To which I replied “what policy?” I stand by that answer.
