It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.
Agree and this whole thread really gets into it and explains why it doesn’t matter. Beshear knows what he’s doing.
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 2w agoHot take: it doesn't matter whether Mitch McConnell is alive or not (I assume that he is alive). If Republicans want to be down a senator from now until January, let them. I do not understand people who want Beshear to take some sort of action here.
There’s no such thing as a perfect birth. But the US system sells the myth anyway. @avitalnn.bsky.social and I wrote a book about what that actually costs: financially, in outcomes, and to all of us. Read the starred review from Publishers Weekly www.publishersweekly.com/9798216277262

Great thread “…cooperation and enjoyment”. What a concept. We really destroy that in kids here. Be sure and watch the YouTube video she included…❤️
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · last mo.The interesting thing about why Norway dominates at international sports is that they have a culture of not permitting ranking or competition in kids before they turn 12. It promotes cooperation and enjoyment instead. Along with affordable access, it means sports there are more equitable.
Honored that my painting “Babushka” was included in the National Association of Women Artists small works exhibit.From my Snapshot series. And yes that’s me…3rd grade. Exhibit link in replies.

Focusing on what’s good. Who has integrity. That should drive us all. It’s contagious.
Jon Ossoff@ossoff.bsky.social · last mo.To this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated President.

This is so important. And political candidates or elected officials who do not make the wellbeing of families a priority do not deserve Wisconsin votes or support. . Taking care of families takes care of us all. Vote accordingly. #wisconsinpolitics #maternalhealth

When Rudy Giuliani dies, remember that he won't be able to see the mean things you post about him. But the rapidly decomposing president who sees him as a political partner and who's worried about his own impending death absolutely will.
