Hard disagree. You aren’t right. This is the absolute worst.

I’ve been in Oklahoma. I don’t know where you live, so maybe we are having a different experience. I’m experiencing full-on authoritarianism. So spare me this damn cruel lecture. This is why so few like us. We are absolute assholes to each other. Have a good day.

As opposed to the non-disaster we have now? I agree she’s too conservative, but to act like she’s as big of a disaster is not true. We could reason with Dems. With Republicans, we will get investigated or invaded. The genocide is way worse now.

Last Sunday, I preached my first sermon ever as a degreed professional. It was on a subject I’ve wanted to preach on for years—Friendship.

I’m so upset about what’s going on with Colbert. This is my favorite show. It’s also indicative of some much more that is to come.

Let’s go, @jenanelson.bsky.social ! Jena for Congress!

I think I need to come back.

Hi. Does anyone still use this app?

Jeannie, this is amazing. Congrats. I want to read all three.

I’m not alone being concerned ahead of storm ⛈️ season, y’all. While Reed may not be referring to FEMA, he’s rightly concerned about possible funding cuts to the National Weather Service. Storms are nonpartisan & the work to better warn & protect folks shouldn’t be affected by politics in any way.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

Yep. I’m untangling myself from Amazon and it is fun.

Dems Don’t Have to Inspire, They Have to Oppose A party out of power doesn’t have to be in splendid array. It has to be pugnacious.

"This isn’t a party in shambles. It’s not even a party in the wilderness. What it is, is a party in opposition. Obviously, they’d prefer to be governing. But opposing Trump’s plans and schemes isn’t ignoble at all."

Thank you!

Yep. I try to bring them gifts when I’m in person.

Not every discomfort is a violation. We believe victims when they are believable. It is not a blank check to accuse people of anything.

I would make sure everyone knew the difference between the following: simply not knowing, a mistake, discomfort, and abuse.

These are not the same things. And we are using them interchangeably depending on who you are and how useful you are.

If I ruled the world, there would be consequences for accusing people of anything without serious evidence or basis in truth to bring forth the accusation.

I want more conversations and less accusations.

Save accusations for serious harm.

Yes, thank you for adding to be nice to those answering the phones. These leaders make the lowest people on the chain handle their messes. They didn’t cause the problem. They are the scapegoat.

Yeah. I think it’s time for me to do that.

I've done this SO many times. Our library allows patrons 3 purchase requests a month, and I'd say over 80% of the requests I make are approved. Has to be new material (within past year), though. Older stuff they direct you to inter-library loan.

Protest Dusty Deevers latest memo to Oklahoma. This is absolutely gross, false and dangerous.

I’ll follow her lead in the capacity that I can.

they are also based on a myth that obscures the poverty of tens of millions of white people. Until we face the reality of white poverty in America, we cannot comprehend what is truly exceptional about the inequality that persists in the richest nation in the history of the world.

To quote Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II in "White Poverty:How Exposing Myths about Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy": I believe that racist images of Black mothers on welfare that have dominated the imaginations of Americans are not merely demeaning to Black people;

The unhoused woman I met the other day was white. It would be a huge disservice not to address white poverty. Which, by the way, Martin Luther King Jr. did. He was killed fighting for low-income workers--all ethnicities.
