Gayle Kimball @gaylekimball.bsky.social · 23/03/2026The daily lie is gas prices are low. They're $6 in Chico, CA. And if you've achieved all your goals in Iran why are you asking for $200 Billion more for supposedly a short war? We're not as stupid as you think we are. 010
Gayle Kimball @gaylekimball.bsky.social · 20/03/20262,000 Marines on their way to Iran. Is this an illegal command when no war is declared?? 000
Gayle Kimball @gaylekimball.bsky.social · 19/03/20261) Why would an unpopular president risk sending US troops to their death in a ground war in Iran? The only reason I can come up with is to protect his “big ego” from midterm losses by declaring a national emergency and shutting down elections. 000
Gayle Kimball @gaylekimball.bsky.social · 19/03/20262) He clearly doesn’t have any compassion for the families who lost their young people, the hallmark of a sociopath. Republicans do your job and read the Constitution. Don’t give him $200 billion more on top of a billion a day when we can’t afford gas or health care. 000

Gayle Kimball @gaylekimball.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Sexism hurts men as well as women, especially in fathers’ access to time with their children.

Gayle Kimball @gaylekimball.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Part 2: Kammer felt that little progress occurred in the belief that sexism only hurts women, so he republished his book 2025. As the author of "50/50 Parenting" and "50/50 Marriage," I’m one of the interviewees. 000

Gayle Kimball @gaylekimball.bsky.social · 23/01/2026I keep looking for Donald long-term strategy, like winning the mid-terms, then realize he doesn't have one. He's like a toddler and just goes with his immediate desires, like for revenge, his name on things, make more money, or make the White House baroque. 000
