Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The response to AI so far by our government reminds me of the movie “Don’t Look Up,” and not in a good way. Like nuclear technology, AI needs worldwide cooperation and regulation so that its best capabilities and uses can be responsibly developed while avoiding its most dangerous potentialities. 010
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 17/09/2026From the Washington Post. Americans have spent an extra $107 billion on gas & diesel costs since the 🍊one started the war with Iran. 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Average drivers notice gas prices more, but diesel is the fuel ⛽️ that powers the American economy. As it reaches $6/gal for the first time in history due to expansion of the Iran war to the Red Sea shipping corridor, supply chain costs 💸 will soon work their way into the price of everything else. 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Never forget means to remember not just the tragedy of 9/11, but also its lessons - many of which we seem to have forgotten 25 years later. That we are at our best when everyday folks show fortitude, integrity, & compassion, & we can achieve anything as a nation when we demand these from our leaders 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The billionaires’ club 💰 will continue to live large on the backs of working folks and our kids and grandkids until we stop them. 🛑 Check your voting status now so they cannot steal your vote in November. 🗳️ 021
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 27/08/2026There was and will never again be anyone like Dolly Parton. She succeeded through talent, savvy, and hard work, but rose to the status of nationaltreasure because she truly lived by the goldenrule and encouraged us all by example to do the same. #restinpower 💕🪽🕊️ 064
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Gorgeous weather for an after dinner boat ride! 😎☀️🚤💦🌊 Watched the great blue heron and osprey fish, the barn and tree swallows chase insects across the water, and spent some relaxing quality time with Paul. ❤️🥰 010
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 31/07/2026What is the difference between the current IranWar and Vietnam? The 🍊 one had an exit strategy for Vietnam. 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Want to know how the candidates for local offices stand on issues important to our community? Check out the upcoming candidate forums schedule from the League of Women Voters! Can’t make it in person? You can watch the recordings - check out their social media a few days after it takes place. 022
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 28/07/2026He has broken many of his campaign promises. Many of his policies have proven to be awful 🤮 & have harmed 🤕the American people. Now that voters are beginning to see through the bull 💩, the 🍊one’s solution, rather than change course, is to cheat in the midterm elections. 😡 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Sounds about right. 🤨🙄 And here I thought MAGA opposes gender affirming care. 🤡😂 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Our national debt is now over $39 trillion. During his five and a half years as President, the 🍊one has added $11 trillion (so far) to that total. That’s over 28% of the total amount - with 2 1/2 years still to go. 💸 010
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Paul is in Washington DC. The reflecting pool is absolutely green, gross 🤢, & losing its “beautiful blue” bottom. I told him not to touch anything because he might get arrested, & because eeeuuuwww. 😜😆 So much for “beautifying” DC. 🙄 It is so metaphoric for this entire 💩show of an administration. 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Ike thoroughly enjoyed his first boat ride of the summer. ⚓️😎☀️🌊 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 15/06/2026After handing out more tax cuts to billionaires, the 🍊one’s vanity projects, war, slush funds, & other corruption already adds up to well over 1/2 trillion dollars after just 18 months in office. While his lapdog Congress & agencies propose cutting even more basics that actually serve taxpayers. 😡 010
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 03/06/2026When hard rain lays one’s irises down to rot on the ground, one must improvise so that they can still be enjoyed. 🙂 ☀️ 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Mark Wentling for the Bulwark reports that last year FBI Director Kash Patel led a private snorkeling expedition very near the USS Arizona Memorial site in Pearl Harbor. This is perhaps one of the most vile things he has ever done. That place is a sacred burial site for over 1000 US Navy sailors. 😡 010
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 14/05/2026inflation 📈 corruption 🐍 waste 🗑️ debt 💸 incompetence 🤡 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Like many of your friends & neighbors from BOTH parties, I am a local election judge. We are now all targets of the 🍊 one & his conspiracy goons. Is this what people voted for - to harass & treat our local election worker neighbors like criminals? 👀🕵🏼♂️👨🏼⚖️👀💩 011
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 06/05/2026The price just went up to $1 billion. All taxpayer money. 🤬 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 05/05/2026$400 million for a billionaire’s ballroom. $1 billion to retrofit a plane. $25 billion and rising for an unnecessary Middle East war. But we can’t afford to pay for health care, food assistance, child care, education, or full veteran’s benefits. All while the deficit has risen higher 📈 than our GDP. 110
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 02/05/2026The recent SCOTUS decision is fully intended to neuter the power of over 60% of American voters to impose a permanent right wing minority rule not just in red states, but also in Congress. 011
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 01/05/2026The incompetence is stunning. 🤡 If they are this careless with doctors’ personal information, what’s happening with all of our personal data that #doge illegally pillaged? 👀 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 28/04/2026We can afford $400 million for a gilded ballroom and $900 million to retrofit a “gifted” plane for the 🍊one, but yet could not afford $700 million to keep the ACA subsidies for regular working folks? Oh, and “customs fees” are just another phrase for “more tariffs.” 🙄🤬 010
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Happiest of birthdays 🎂 to my two ♥️s! Carrie turns 27 today, & Sarah will be 24 tomorrow. I am proud & grateful that two of the best humans on the planet call me mom. 🥰🥳🎉 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 15/04/2026From Heather Cox Richardson. As wholesale inflation rises to 4%, it’s becoming clear that rising costs are mostly due to the 🍊one’s choices over the past year and are dragging down our economy. 📉 021
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 12/04/2026What?? 😲The incel bros of DOGE did even more illegal 💩with our data, and the government lied in court to allow them to keep doing it? Who would have ever thought this administration would do something like that, said no truly savvy, informed person ever. 🙄 021
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 10/04/2026A gentle reminder that we have not forgotten 👀 the Epstein Files and victims. 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 04/04/2026This as the 🍊 one proposes even deeper cuts to safety net programs for working folks so he can pay for his failing war and the ordinance that it has needlessly wasted. And so his kids and billionaire buddies can make 💰 on the military contract companies they’ve invested in. 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 31/03/2026From Meidas Touch & Kid Rock himself - our tax dollars at work while millions can’t afford gas, groceries, or health insurance. 🙄💩 001
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Carrie & I remembered to take a break from photography & video duties to take our own selfie at the Chaska No Kings protest. Fantastic turnout in Carver County (MN) - well over 300 in Waconia and in the thousands in Chaska! No👑s 🇺🇸💙🥳⚡️😎 0110
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Are you ready? I am! 🥳🇺🇸 #NoKings rallies are being held all over the country tomorrow. Find one near you at nokings.org. The pic is Paul & me at a local Carver County No Kings rally last October. 😎⚡️👑 010
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 25/03/2026TSA agents go without pay while ICE agents get paid plenty to do what, exactly? Like the Iran War, the purpose of ICE at airports is different depending on who in this administration is “explaining” it. 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 17/03/2026This administration and the EpsteinClass it serves does not give two 💩’s about regular folks. 😡Iran War☠️ 012
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 11/03/2026From Heather Cox Richardson - $93 million in waste, fraud, & abuse by the Pentagon spent in JUST ONE MONTH. Corruption & & grift as regular Americans must do without because these same politicians officials say we “can’t afford” things that help ordinary folks. 😡💩 000
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 08/03/2026And yet they are certainly giving it quite a try, aren’t they? 😡 012
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Find Bondi in contempt & force the release of the unredacted Epstein Files & solve it once & for all. These despicable people are running scared & that makes them dangerous. 030
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Call US Senators and tell them to vote against the SAVE Act. It has already passed the US House. In its current form, it means that 100 years after women earned the right to vote, we are facing down the implementation of a 21st century poll tax for women. 11344321582
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Downtown march in Minneapolis - in subzero weather & even colder wind chills 🥶. Minnesotans are badass - and pissed! 👊 ice out 🧊minnesota ❤️ 073
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 22/01/2026No - we haven’t forgotten. Release the Epstein Files. 🧐👀 032
Cathy Thom @cathyscorner.bsky.social · 14/01/2026F#%cking B#%ch! What woman has not heard that phrase sneered at her? It’s never hurled in fear, but instead rage laced with malice & entitlement. 000
