Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 22hAnd still, the kids will never see that money. It’s going in a Trump overseas account. Regardless of any expiration date. 070
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Sounds like the legislation isn’t very bipartisan, if the Republican president is ignoring it and the Republican legislators are allowing their leader to ignore it. Sounds like Democrats should worry about lot less about whether legislation is “bipartisan”. 020
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Same with using the word “deport” when referring to the extraordinary rendition of innocent people to be detained in countries they’ve never before visited. Words have meanings. Use them correctly. You are professionals in the use of words so do better. 1362
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I really, strongly object to use of the word “crackdown” when referring to these violent attacks on US cities and their residents. 2382

Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Put me down as an opponent to your Space Council as currently composed. Bezos and Musk are there to enrich themselves further at our expense and to our detriment. 000
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The 23-member council includes Michael Edmonds of Blue Origin (an aerospace company led by Amazon's Jeff Bezos), Cornelia Rosu of Elon Musk's SpaceX, Lisa Scalpone of Amazon LEO (an initiative to increase global broadband internet access), Kelly Maloney of Space Northwest, Kent Mayor … 222

Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 25/09/2026She’s a full grown adult and responsible for her decisions. She has shown that she knows how to write a resignation letter. She decided to unethically prosecute people instead of resigning, and that’s entirely on her. 1725
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’m saddened and I don’t believe her. I don’t believe that anybody voted for Trump to protect citizens. I believe the people who say that are liars. 000
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’ve always offered water or coffee to interviewees. 050
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It absolutely does not meet fire code. You can’t even cover windows with paper. 0111
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 25/09/2026All those giant Trump signs on barns were put up by the townsfolk and not the farmers? Lol. 110
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That list reads like they didn’t hire any planners for their project. 020
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I don’t think they’re hypocrites because they don’t speak in good faith or actually believe anything they say. They don’t use words to communicate. They’ll say anything that either harms their opponent or supports their position in the moment. What works in the moment changes, so they change words. 020
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 21/09/2026ICE must be abolished. They are murdering innocent people in the streets. That cannot be fixed with “better training“ or “police protocol”. 100
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 19/09/2026There’s probably some psychological reason, like the inverse of how playing a puzzle game immediately after trauma reduces the formation of intrusive memories. Maybe the cute silly animals do something to reinforce their propaganda in people‘s thoughts. 160
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I doubt he’s done with them. Letting Trump think he prevailed just means he’ll hassle them again in the future when he wants another ego boost. 070
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The glazing of the authoritarian fascist is a lot of the reason why he now thinks he can ban them from the oval office. Hopefully they’ll consider covering the news about the fall of democracy from outside the White House. 072
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Software is programmed by humans and humans can be put in prison. If they won’t identify the individual humans on the development team then put the CEO and Board of Directors in the prison. And even if they identify the individual humans on the development team, still put the CEO and Board in prison 161

Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 17/09/2026She probably also thinks the white supremacists won’t eventually “deport” her too. 010
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 16/09/2026That‘s mainly a dogwhistle for racists who don’t want to pay taxes for public programs if Black people might use them. 010
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Yes, I’m sure recommendation and action are two different things but I doubt anything further actually happens either way because it would need to be prosecuted by the DOJ. 041
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Republicans do not care about logic or consistency in what they say from one day to the next. They don’t use words to communicate, they use them as a method to attack with anything that’s most helpful to them at that moment. 010
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Military is going to have to study up on what it meant when they said they’d defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 3362
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 14/09/2026My representative, who holds a safe blue seat in a deep blue state, is still posting about bipartisanship. As recently as this last weekend. 110
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I wonder if NYT sees democracy as a priority yet, or if they’ve made the connection between democracy and free speech. 000
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 13/09/2026This post is a good example of why I voted against you in the last primary, after having voted for you in all of your prior elections. You will not have the fortitude to hold republicans accountable. You keep talking about bipartisanship while they’re talking about eliminating my right to vote. 010
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The expectation that the meeting be held with a lawfully elected or appointed representative of the government is not disengaging. The regime requested the meeting and there was no reason to not exercise some power to set conditions in granting their request. 040
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I live near the Salish Sea and am a backcountry hiker, and I think this is a very reasonable explanation. 020
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 05/09/2026"Fascisty” is a pretty good one-word summary of the complex reasons that my husband and I had for choosing to not have children. 020
Mary Emme @contrarygardener.bsky.social · 05/09/2026You can go ahead and just give us the entire "small potatoes" quote. You are not required to give him cover by voluntarily and unnecessarily adding “appeared to downplay”. 011
