I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Gonna have to get Netflix I guess!

I like all of the classics especially Last Mango, but honestly? Bubbles Up is the one I cannot get enough of.

The Right Wants to Exterminate Trans People. Liberals Are Helping. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative movement has accelerated its war against trans people. And too many centrist Democrats have kept up their trans bashing.

Wow how nice to hear from you. Your silence since the circus got to town has been deafening.

All means All (the motto of my Methodist church)

Shout it louder for those in the back! Thank you thank you thank you.

You mean like this?

And, I’m saying this as a Christian…

Wait. Is that still a thing? they’re still overpriced but about $3.50ish a dozen at Kroger owned stores at least in the PNW near me

$200 a day … plus expenses.

How I wish he was still with us

Lovely! Mine is not so organized but that’s pretty on point for me. When the song from the first 45 I bought comes up I grin every time and when its a memory of a friend or former partner, I smile and swim for a moment in the softened light of history and wish them well.

Actually critical information more people need to know. Hear me out: I have some nutty play list covering literally 300 plus songs I have liked or associated with a person or event - When I walk my dogs and hear a song, I remember. I refresh and renew that memory tie. And the fog is held at bay.

I am so very grateful for this. Thank you.
