Vote NO on the SAVE Act! The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

So Social media and is in charge of bringing a diversity of opinions? Meanwhile social media says β€œwe’re not responsible for fact checking”.

So… the news is saying it’ll be biased - flat out. And social media is saying it’ll let the liars keep screaming. What could go wrong?

Why am I even shocked that there is a Trump store? We are officially in the idiocracy.

This book sent me to his other books … and some of those I liked even more. Love this style of lots of research, some human stories, then you find your own path based on a lot of facts.

Ooh, I like your wording. our own legislators acting on the proven disinformation is disturbing.

Legislators

After commenting on the bill, please in your spare time ask them how this helps their voters. Making it so we have to take time off work to vote helps who exactly? Click on their names to get emails? leg.wa.gov/legislators/

Washington State Legislature - Public Bill Comments

WA state friends: HB 1584 being introduced in the WA state legislature. It would take away our right to β€œvote-by-mail” and instead require β€œin-person voting”. 😬

Voting CON would keep our right to vote-by-mail. πŸ—³οΈ

You can comment on this bill and vote at this link: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1584

Washington State Legislature - Public Bill Comments

app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/1584 we should all be commenting now on this bill before it makes any further.

I hadn’t seen the article - but I love that reddit and Bluesky both got this on my radar. Sneaky little f$ckers.

Sigh, somehow this makes me want to tweet suddenly. I won’t as it’s so not my platform. But I’ve never been banned before.

Fuck me. Google too? Can all these power players just stop doing weird and terrifying things for a while? We’ve got a maniac dismantling our government. We don’t need all these other 1984 style plot lines right now.

Yeah, I have a dog in order to force myself to walk an hour every day. But nothing like getting onto an actual trail away from home ❀️. That’s a great hobby now

It’s wild that this is reality. I can’t fathom how this OK with people other than blatant misinformation and spinning of stories.

Ah, that makes sense. my boyfriend has been learning German for years because he works for a Swiss company. I tried French when I was a kid, but my pronunciation was unbearable to French people apparently πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ.

Ha! I should do that. I’m trauma reading and being informed is not improving my mental health πŸ˜…. Need more hobbies

The failed kind πŸ™ƒ. Supposed to be a jar full of broccoli and clover sprouts. Instead it’s a sad handful. I’m working on my technique. Luckily they only take a few days - so I can try again any day.

Ooh, sous vide - tres fancy. Not entire sure what it is- but sounds ooh la la and fun. Why German? I’m still trying Spanish - but that’s going on 3 decades of trying to not be terrible at it πŸ˜†

Anyone else starting hobbies like they are a life boat to cling to sanity for the next 4 years? What are y’all trying?

And after actually validating (ugh) that article is there. It’s confusing- but it’s there. It’s not β€œgreat” in his ideas, but in his ability to sway the masses and blindly surge ahead despite his failures.

Are the oligarchs just admitting they and the government don’t care about the rest of us blatantly now?

I’ll definitely reach out if I’m in the area. Same goes if you head out to Seattle. it just blows my mind that people I remember from grade school to high school are full fledged adults. Heck I’m amazed I’m an adult most days.

I didn’t realize you moved to Austin. How long have you been there? Have you seen the great bat migration? That’s on my bucket list.

Ugh, I’m so sick of that and hearing how UPS has a package they can’t deliver πŸ™„

These women have character and values. When people kiss up to him after he’s been so repugnant - we know he’s a vindictive bully and the kiss-ups only care about power. Ted Cruz kissed the ring of the man who he said he’d never support. It’s disgusting watching his own VP Vance do the same.

Yes, I’m moving over and just was searching for her. Going to look for her direct website maybe until she gets here πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
