It just being announced that there is another school shooting. This time it is a Christian School. The one commonality is the use of guns. When will children be more important than reasonable gun laws? Yesterday was the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Nothing moves Republicans. Now, on top of the threat of guns, our kids may face a world without proven, safe vaccines. They’re ok with polio making a comeback?! I will never understand why the GOP seems to hate the kids that they INSIST be brought into the world.

Leaving this here for folks that think the GOP is “good” for the economy! Per Simon Rosenberg’s simondwc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles: “Since 1989 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years”!

I like to point out that it’s called an entitlement because it is my hard-earned money, which I am entitled to. The weaponization of the word is a strategy by evil-doers to one day separate us from our hard-earned money without an uprising. If we follow in Russia’s footsteps, our pensions are next.

Someone please explain this to young people: Reading might not make you cooler. But it does make you smarter. And wiser. And kinder. And more interesting. And way more attractive. And okay, I lied, it DOES make you cooler. #booksky

Is anyone else appalled by Anthem Blue Cross’s plan to have time limits for anesthesiologists in specific surgeries. They can still perform, but the extra time won’t be covered. If one insurance company is allowed to do this, others will follow.

The Secretary of Defense is too important a job for someone with Pete Hegseth’s sick personality, lack of experience and zero qualifications. He’s a danger to the nation. youtu.be/Q4Es-IDBDao?...

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?

So, according to MAGA - Joe Biden pardoning his convicted felon son is disqualifying, but Donald Trump BEING a convicted felon is not? Do I have that about right?

I’m so happy about Biden’s decision to pardon his son. Hunter would have been a further scapegoat for Trump. I hope he can protect others who are in the sights of Trump.

I was self taught about both Indigenous and Black history. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee started my education. The sixties started me with Black history.

I learned something this Thanksgiving. Toasting pecans makes them incredibly delicious. It is so easy too. I just ordered more to serve at Christmas.

THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting. Pass it on. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

motherjones.com

Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going?

When her appointment as director of national intelligence is vetted, the Senate should scrutinize her political operation.

You should look up the original sources and draw your own conclusions. But also consider the creator. Is this a “regular person” giving opinion, or a researcher or public figure? I think you could also cite the video if it comes from an expert source - after you’ve read the original materials.

I said I would tell you what I thought of the “Once and Future Witches.” It was very well written and I liked the integration of the nursery rhymes and folklore with the story. I had a hard time with the antagonist because he was so evil. I’m still in mourning from the election.

This morning I was putting on makeup in my powder room and looked out and saw a nuthatch. I was thrilled since I had to stop feeding the birds because I was inundated with pigeons.
