Hey @keithedwards.bsky.social -- if Jerome Powell's crime is "going over budget" on the "renovation" of a federal property... when do they arrest trump for going over budget on the renovation of the reflecting pool? Equal justice under the law...

I think every single democrat needs to run against the republican P arty on this platform: Both House and Senate are guilty of dereliction of duty. They did not keep trump in check and have proved they will not stand up to him no matter how crazy he gets. 100% Dereliction of Duty.

Parenting hack: if you want your kids to clean up their giant messes without the fight, prop up your phone and film a timelapse.

Let them watch it after. They get the biggest kick out of it and willingly clean up their toys so they can film a new one.

This was put out by the White House. It is humiliating to be countrymen with people who seem to bask in ignorance and racism. People who can spell need to take back the government.

OK...after the midterms we should all take a deep breath. Then, in December, we should all buy a copy of #Dolly Parton's Hard Candy Christmas. For Christmas I want Dolly to be #1 on the charts. Sorry #MariahCarey , you gotta give it up for a week.

Because I travel to so many museums to make my guidebooks, I take a lot of pictures of art. The best ones I share on wikipedia for people to use as part of the Creative Commons agreement. It THRILLS me every time I see one of my pictures supporting someone else's project.

Flashback to Easter, 1974. My mom got up early and put our Easter baskets on the table, and then went back to bed. Who know the sun would come out for the first time that winter in Anchorage and melt everything into blobs. Ah, childhood.
This image shows a picture of a 1970s package of Leggs Panty Hose that came in a large plastic egg. (like 4 times the size of a regular plastic Easter egg. This one shows a drawing of a rabbit on it w/ a pink Mr Sketch Marker (the ones that smell-pink is raspberry smell). These two items are very reminiscent of an early 1970s childhood. The caption at the bottoms says: "Kids today will never know the joy of staying up late to color a special egg for mom."

This is the scariest my porch has EVER looked on Halloween. Truth is, my neighbor, who works for the US Dept of Geological Surveys, was furloughed six weeks ago-paid at first, then unpaid. I had taken over a bag of cat food and offered it and he was almost gleeful to take it. Scary times.
The photo shows my front porch with a jack-o-lantern, a large bag of cat food, a large bag of dog food and canned pet foods. Behind them on a chair is a bag of potatoes, an acorn squash, and stacked behind that are cans of beans, soup, vegetables, SPAM and tuna.

Fascists always go after the teachers pretty much right away. When the Nazis invaded Poland, one of the first thing they did was execute the teachers. Fascists do not like people who champion critical thinking. There is a reason the right went after the Department of Education first.

I was looking through old magazines last night. Sometimes I miss the old days. This article is enough to make a person cry. My guess is Jackie O snubbed him NY society, so he chopped down her rose bushes. Hillary Clinton's office was in the East wing, so he tore it down. (there is more!) 1/2

I have had the privilege of not only visiting the White House, but I have received White House Honors. I take that honor very seriously and believe that our White House is not just a building, but the very home of America. What trump is doing should be a crime and the White House must be restored.

I think he meant to say they won't open the government because of that 218th vote to release the Epstein files. If they close the government, they can't swear in a new Congresswoman. Without her vote, no Epstein files. Simple as that.

Hitler began his overthrow of Europe by invading Poland. We know Trump kept a copy of Mein Kampf next to his bed. What are the odds he misread Poland for Portland and thinks he is following the play book?

In 2014 I was honored at the White House. Before I left my boss told me if I said I was gay I would be fired. The White House press asked if I wanted to make a statement. This was my statement to the press, and a declaration of war with my school district. Spoiler: I won the war.

I have a place in my heart for John Lewis. I have a letter from him that is a cherished possession. A few years ago Portland State University awarded me an honorary PhD because of my work in social justice. John Lewis (and Bill Clinton) were previous honorees. I live by this quote of Mr Lewis.

I remember when a different President went up on the roof of the White House. It was Jimmy Carter and he was having solar panels put up. Sigh. I also remember one of the first things Reagan had done was rip them down. It has been kind of downhill for that party ever since.
