Some gave all. 🇺🇸

Today is the home opener for my SF Giants. Here’s a photo of my all-time fave Giant in another uniform. (Idk the name of the photographer.) #WillieMays24 #AmericanHistory

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

M. Rubio, the acting US Archivist, took part in a chat exposing classified info. Posts then set to self delete. Did I get that correct? I’m pretty sure Marco knows the definition of “archive.” What else has he deleted? He regularly tweeted Bible verses, but is now not following the Oath of office.

Is this who we want to become?!

Example of an oxymoron for all my students: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard

Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

On this first of many Economic Blackouts, I started this book. Ms. Keene is a terrific storyteller, & I don’t want to put it down!

I had dinner out last night with a small, but growing, rural FL Democrat group. One man reported that he sold his tesla 2 days before! 💙

Here I am a few years ago walking along the Gulf of Mexico. I even stayed at a hotel on Gulf of Mexico Dr. Did Goggle (yes, I changed the name of the maps app) change the name of the street, also? Oh, and my store was out of eggs!

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of primarily African American military pilots and airmen who fought in World War II. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces who received praise for protecting American bombers from enemy fighters.

I’m going to save this. Thanks WilonaB!

I think we should change the Mississippi River to the Minnesota-Wisconsin-Iowa-Illinois-Missouri-Kentucky-Tennessee-Arkansas-Mississippi-Louisiana River. 🤦‍♀️

I got an email from @FPL re: my rate increase for 2025, right before an 8 night freeze. In 23, FPL ceo received 10+M in salary & compensation. I can honestly report I didn’t get a 1000% COLA on my SS. Merry Christmas & HNY from FL Power & Light! Stronzo!!

Fair winds and following seas.

Finally,after hurricane repairs, & a mechanical hiccup at 5:30 am, cane syrup is boiling. Family tradition of field to bottle.

I needed this little piece of home today. Thanks to the Point Reyes Light for covering the NFL visit to Tomales High School football! (💗Class of 75)

@ronshillman.bsky.social I knew you’d come over to the light side! (Gotta like them O’s, but I’m a Giants Forever Fan.)

It’s been several days since I’ve said it, “Thank you President Biden.”

A month ago I was enjoying the fog at Bodega Bay & feeling hopeful about America’s future. Today I added Joni’s ‘Send In the Clowns’ to my playlist. Time to roll up the sleeves some more. Well, maybe after a good night’s sleep.

I’m looking 👀 for all of my Meidas friends!! Let’s connect. Ⓜ️Ⓜ️

I dislike starting over, but I’ll do what’s necessary and right to keep light and joy alive! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
