I am here, not there! One day, one step at a time. Wondering if I took a wrong turn and ended up in the wrong universe where there is so much anger and hate it is sticky! Fighting back with kindness.

I’m glad you can get on here and get a cat fix at least, there are so many wonderful cats on this medium. Maybe you could go to animal shelter sometimes and just pet cats.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

WB I-90 is CLOSED at I-5 in downtown Seattle because of an ongoing emergency response situation.

WB I-90 traffic is being rerouted to NB I-5 with no access to SB I-5 or Edgar Martinez Dr.

People traveling on WB I-90 should plan for delays during this closure

We totally do need a make-over! The Democrat Party is like mush and has been for years. I had great hope with Obama, but I think the party got to him and pulled him back to center. Extreme left is not the answer either, something fresh and new is required addressing the impossible costs of living.

β€’ The repeal coincided with the explosion of social media psyops, data-driven influence campaigns, and private contractors (e.g. Cambridge Analytica, Palantir) blurring lines between state and corporate propaganda.

Result:
β€’ Federal agencies (DoD, State Dept, USAID) began producing β€œstrategic communication” and β€œcounter-disinformation” content that could circulate domestically.

β†’ Materials produced for foreign audiences could now legally be distributed inside the U.S.
β†’ Critics warned this opened the door to state-sanctioned propaganda being used on Americans.

Major Turning Point β€” Smith–Mundt Modernization Act of 2012
β€’ Tucked into the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
β€’ Sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX) and Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA).
β€’ Effect: Lifted the domestic dissemination ban.

β€’ Think tanks (including the Heritage Foundation) and defense strategists began pushing for loosening the rule β€” especially for β€œcounterterrorism messaging” after 9/11.

Shift Over Time:
β€’ By the 1990s–2000s, as media globalized and the internet blurred borders, government and private entities argued that this restriction was β€œoutdated.”

Key restriction: The Act prohibited domestic dissemination of materials produced for foreign propaganda, to avoid the U.S. government influencing its own citizens.

Full name: U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948
Purpose: To authorize U.S. gov. agencies (like the State Department and Voice of America) to conduct public diplomacy β€” informational and cultural programs aimed at foreign audiences to promote democracy and counter Soviet propaganda.

Well, that was a surprise, I saw another video making it look like Trump was miserable during the meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister. It’s certainly crazy how you can spin things. ?????????????

There is a story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, The food rescue program helps by providing meats and prepared food items. We have many clients with no access to a kitchen. It’s getting harder to stock the shelves. The bright spot is our small community is coming together to help each other.
