That’s a power stance! Look for β€œAmy Cuddy: Power Poses” on YouTube.

First ICE said they were going after illegal immigrants.

Then they started going after anyone who looked Latinx or Hispanic.

Now they are going after Clergy who are standing close by.

If you wondered what it was like to be in Germany at the time of the rise of Hitler, now you know.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

What benefits do these tech execs get from these appointments?

I guess we need a glacier calving (?) expert on BlueSky.

I’m wondering about that too!

It's outrageous that zoning appeals were granted to Camp Mystic.

β€œFlood maps developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency placed much of the camp within a 100-year flood zone. Camp Mystic successfully challenged those designations."

My extremely small sample shows that Trump supports may not believe the criticism about the bill. They will β€œwait and see.” Democrats need to keep up the messaging because not all of the impact will be felt before the midterms.

She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election. How Leonard Leo's 2021 sale of an electronics firm enabled tech giants to subvert the 2024 election.

How do we verify/confirm this? What can be done?

No, that’s closer to bottom tier. It’s clear that the speaker really means β€œI want to end this conversation” which risks creating ill will. A top tier ender would be gracious, such as β€œI wish I could talk longer but I need to go.”

Wow! Small world. I loved it. I had my own company for my final years, doing only high tech board searches. Now that I’m retired, I still find myself being asked to Chair the Nominating Committee on nonprofit boards.

Wallace and Gromit are claymation characters. These days, with the world in turmoil, clever playfulness can be an antidote. It’s about Wallace’s solution to not wanting to walk Gromit, the dog. Let me know what you think.

I went right to Amazon to order it and, blushing, see that I purchased it several months ago.

Here’s the dilemma we Democrats face. When our candidates talk about certain issues, it activates MAGA and gets them to the voting booths. How do we navigate that?

Nina: Every Democrat should be thinking about 2028 and far beyond. We’ve been short-term thinkers for too long and it has cost us. We need to be long-term strategic thinkers.
