Retired English teacher in FL. Grandma, a reader of books, and dreaming of writing one some day. It's an old picture. DMs are turned off. I'm just here to gain political insights. I block quite frequently. Transplanted Yinzer.
Let's get those views up! 👇🏽

It is a wish. It inspires hope. Not all wishes come true, but you can start from a more positive place in your mind for what lies ahead.

"If Rockwell’s early illustrations of pink-cheeked lovebirds and rough-housing kids were meant to comfort audiences, those latter works were meant to challenge them. His tool for achieving both ends, though, was the same: compassion."

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.
“Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.”

It’s the same old same old. Republicans do a tantrum and break the dishes. The Democrats clean it up. It’s an abusive relationship.

I am trying something new. A weekly new video where I'll catch you up on what @aft.org is up to. This week, we had big victories on Election Day, kept up our fight for healthcare & food assistance, and secured a win to deliver debt relief for borrowers.

I’m just going to say it…
It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.
A mom traveled to D.C. with her child in a wheelchair, just to be ignored by Senator Joni Ernst. She couldn't be bothered. No meeting. No reply. No humanity.

12.06.2025 19:38 — 👍 1765 🔁 592 💬 90 📌 42I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.
This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.
UPDATE: Trump just attacked/threatened the legendary (and far handsomer & much more talented) Bruce Springsteen — so here’s the Boss rant that triggered him again, calling him “corrupt, incompetent, treasonous” and calling on 🇺🇸 to “raise your voices against authoritarianism”

continued appreciation to @vanhollen.senate.gov for fighting for Kilmar’s return - and for understanding that actively driving attention to this crisis is a core part of making that happen.
Perhaps someone read @chrislhayes.bsky.social A Siren’s Call?

It might be a good idea to look at which countries do NOT have a tariff imposed on them and WHY.

Social Security is not charity or some giveaway. It's money people earned through years of hard work.
Now, Trump and Musk want to rip that away to fund tax handouts for their billionaire buddies.
So here's my message for them: get your hands off our Social Security.

We're been surprisingly competitive in these two deep red districts, where DEMs have outraised Republicans.

Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.
He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."
They didn't show him a warrant.
They didn't give him paperwork.
And he's now suing.
