We had many elections across the country! Virtually all (if not all) of them were won by Democrats or liberals.
Sure speaks to the mood of the people who voted - ALL of them CITIZENS!
WE ARE A DEMOCRACY!! <-- That is the VOICE of Americans shouting from the mountaintop!

What has America become? Will America be able to return back to our OG values (pre-Jan 2025)?
Instead of "MAGA" - this regime has actually done "MATW" aka "Make America The Worst".
Pre-Jan 2025 - America WAS one of the greatest countries in the world. And it's only 7 months into a 4 year term...

Being hypocritical is something that I do not abide.
Being violent is something I do not abide.
Why? Because:
Being hypocritical feeds into a cycle of misinformation.
Being violent feeds into a cycle of violence.
Ongoing, escalating, never stopping.
Peace feeds into more peace.

I'm pro-Jew, I have wonderful Jewish friends.
I choose to condemn Israel for their choice of extreme violence against the Palestines. (I hope that's spelled correctly.)
Why condemn? Because the Palestines want the same thing that Israel wanted. To be a country.
They are being hypocritical.

I read an article about how Bluesky is losing users and how people are becoming hateful instead of having healthy discussions and debates.
Wasn't Bluesky intended to encourage HEALTHY discussions and debates??? Why bring hate here, why hate others for their own perspectives?

The Medicaid You Didnβt Know You Had
Millions of Americans are at risk of losing healthcare they donβt even know is Medicaid.
I know what my Medicaid program is called in Missouri. Do you know what yours is called? I'll bet that millions of Americans who have state health care do not realize that they are on MEDICAID. This is important - to read and to know what your ins is.

Trumpβs Vicious Attack on the American Mind
He wants America to be ignorant because ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny
This essay is well written and is thought-provoking. A lot of us already understand the points made in this essay, but a lot of us don't realize the points made. So I choose to share this, in the hopes that it reaches more people.

I hope nobody minded me posting the Respect MO Voters fundraising thingie???
I'm doing great. I want to start posting more often, but I don't know what to chatter about that others would find interesting to read.
Maybe I could chat about what it's like to be a Deaf person in the world?

I just wrote a really long post on Substack (I still haven't figured out how to publish a post, as opposed to making it a note. I don't like embeds so that's why no embed for the link above. I welcome comments, positive and negative. :) Have a great weekend!!!

Letβs get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they canβt reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.
Dems: Donβt lift a finger to help them. Not one.

Thanks for the added information. Very much appreciated. :) You made my day when you pointed me to a podcast that has transcripts! :D :D Now I get to go dive down rabbit holes, rofl.

Do you have to be on any specific platforms to access Apple Podcasts? And thank you for pointing me to one that has transcripts!

Many podcasts that I wish had transcripts so that the Deaf community can also learn things from various podcasts. Some talk about how this or that happened and why - but I don't see any articles referring to that topic, for example - so I get to remain clueless! And so do the others who are deaf.

Awww, Purple's pouting because no more lovely clumps of snowflakes coming down. It's becoming nearly white out conditions outside, can't really see the snow itself coming down, it's just white. Visibility is still okayish, I can still see the tree.

Today's a big winter storm hitting my area, becoming white out visibility. I am grateful to have a warm home with a funny cat. My thoughts are with everyone affected by the winter storm and upcoming polar vortex!!! Be safe, be warm, and don't do anything worthy of a Darwin's Award, please!!

Today, I was thinking about what I can help readers with and I realized that I tend to focus on positive/optimism types of chatter when I make posts of any kind (of course, there's outliers, but). So for today, I'm delighted that I got to give 5 people compliments and made them all smile!!

How will they rebuild their homes? They likely don't have the funds to even MOVE to a "safer" area! And the insurance rates?!?!?! To clarify - I do not speak of the wealthy who chose to have homes in these areas, as second homes or whatnot.

I am absolutely appalled by the fact that the "federal govt" is trying to put CONDITIONS on giving AID to California due to those horrible wildfires!!! My gosh!! California pays out so much, yet receives so little. I feel so sad for the residents who are working class and/or low income, etc!!!

Man, I feel so sorry for the kids in the current school systems - cos from what I see - none of them are even being taught to think critically. None of them are learning how to discern things on their own, to learn to think for themselves.
Are the 18-25 adults today able to think for themselves?

Don't ask me about how to engage with the 18 to eh, 25 year old age group. I'm way way older than that, lol. But I will say that I feel like a lot of them just simply voted the same way their parents or caregivers did. For folks over 25, they got no excuse for not thinking critically.

But a lot of the Boomers and X's did vote for Trump. I feel like these folks (I'm a X'er) have completely forgotten the history that we grew up with (and learned from school). It was so starkly obvious to me from way back that Trump was trying to emulate Hitler. Moreso now, too.
