Wow.This is a judge on one of our state’s highest courts. Presumably she was ok with the Elon million dollar sweepstakes for voters in support of Schmiel.

We have to do better America.

Excerpt form Washington Post Article: 

The roughly 1,100 people who pick up the phone at the Veterans Crisis
Line comfort Americans who are in the midst of life's darkest moments. The Afghanistan war veteran who wakes up with nightmares and needs to talk to someone about them. The former soldier who plans to take his own life, shotgun sitting in his lap. The spouse who worries her intoxicated husband has been drinking and is now speeding down an
interstate highway. About 2,600 times each day, someone has a story for the Veterans Crisis Line. The calls to the Department of Veterans Affairs hotline always vary, both in intensity and duration. Phone operators talk callers through their problems, enlisting help from local first responders or
other VA programs when warranted.

The world's richest Nazi chode is cutting the Veterans Crisis Line because he does not care if Vets commit suicide.

He does not believe that they deserve specialized care by people trained to de-escalate situations involving Vets suffering PTSD and other disorders developed in the line of duty.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) spoke through the night on the Senate floor, to protest President Trump, Elon Musk and the administration’s policies.

STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR III, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT "LEADERS" IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

Being a SAHM showed me how exhausting, lonely, and challenging parents have it. Parenting is a privilege with little support for many, and thus it can quickly turn into a prison. If you love it, do it! But don't try to force it onto others, esp if you haven't tried it yet.

If I have learned nothing over the years, at least I've learned this: You don't know what something will be like until you're in it. "You signed up for..." or "You chose this..." completely miss the mark.

This is when trump was elected the first time. I immediately flipped sides because I was so appalled that republicans and conservatives alike would vote for someone so vile and unprofessional solely because he was their rep. You have to think past labels.

When I got out, I got married to amazing person and had a child. Suddenly, I was a stay at home mom. I was depressed and isolated, and I felt trapped. This was compounded by others telling me how lucky I was to be at home with my daughter, it only made me feel more guilty.

Full disclosure and transparency: In my lived experience, I used to be a staunch republican (raised), during that time I was a mean and bitter person because I tried to embody toxic masculinity when I was active duty in the military.

β€˜Testing ground for Project 2025’: behind Oklahoma’s rightwing push to erode the line between church and state With Trump back in the White House, the state and others across the US are making efforts to install Christian viewpoints in governance

β€œThe story of Christian nationalism in the US is a story of white Christian conservatives terrified of being replaced by a more secular, non-white population, and scrapping with all of their might to make sure that that doesn’t happen.” @profsamperry.bsky.social

I renewed my @asanews.bsky.social membership today for a crucial reason: to support my community and its leaders as they confront threatsβ€”not only to our discipline and educators but, more importantly, to those at risk of being further silenced and erased. #resist
