Hm. If both are neck-deep in trillion-dollar IOUs, the real question is who gets the lifeboat when the ship goes down. This new regime is too busy stealing and gutting public institutions to notice the floor cracking beneath all of us. Itโs not just unsustainable. Itโs neglect on purpose.

โTo Be a Womanโ, the poem by Alice Walker.
To be a woman
Does not mean
To wear
A shroud;
The Feminine
Is not Dead
Nor is she
Sleeping
Angry, yes,
Seething, yes.
Biding her time;
Yes.
Yes.
I just finished her poetry book โAbsolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earthโ. I think she is my favorite. I regret not reading her poetry sooner.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."

Quick question. Is anyone asking what is Vance doing about the genocide in Gaza and stopping it or that was just reserved for the Black lady when she was VP?

At this point, you know the Black person he calls "low IQ" is superbly intelligent and HE knows it, which is why he uses this same uncreative label.
Let's see him get safely through traffic without the traffic lights created by a "low IQ" Garrett Morgan.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
