This is a great summary of what needs to be done to make America affordable again. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Dear Santa-- This year and in years to come, I would like leaders with a moral compass please. 🎄

If enacted, "This seems to mean that any corporation that does business in the state of Montana would be required to stop giving money to politicians and PACS that spend money in the state regardless of the state in which they are incorporated."

Adding more: 1. National minimum wage 2. Federal contracts only to companies with pro-employee polices and wage gap constraints. 3. Limits on pardon power

The earth is beautiful. I hope you have time to appreciate it today and can share your beautiful earth pic. 🙂

Happy #Caturday Spinach vs. Ethel (a puppy)

I am a PhD prepared and licensed registered nurse, nurse practitioner, and clinical nurse specialist. And I am a professional. We all are. #nurse www.nursingworld.org/news/news-re...

New thought- Take-out Tuesday, if you can. Take out of the bank cash you would spend during blackout. Only spend money at small businesses and with cash. Helps small businesses with sales and no credit card fees. If enough of us withdraw money on the same day, a strong message will be sent.

This is 40% of flights left for the day are canceled or delayed.

Now that Cuomo is headed to Florida, let's name the Tappan Zee Bridge the Tappan Zee Bridge again. The Tappan Tribe deserves it.

Airport experience report: Line at TSA precheck long but not impossible. TSA agents were present and pleasant, thanked them all. Plane left early on a Friday afternoon from a major hub. How much of this was cancelations and how much was frightening people? #tsa #flying #airport

Thank you for the reminder of utter incompetence of T1.0

This decision by Delta has eroded trust in the airline as much as landing their planes upside down. I no longer trust pricing on their website/app and depend on other sites for booking. #delta, #AITicketPricing, #travel abcnews.go.com/GMA/Travel/d...

Abandonment. Just like a nurse can't abandon their patients, a government should not be allowed to abandon their people.

We need these moments now. Thanks Canada 🇨🇦 You are good people.

Sharing!!!

Someone who knows more than me, what do you think of #Liz48? ISO any path forward that salvages our #democracy. open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...

Well said.

Lived experience report on inflatables. No using your phone in the inflatable (inflatable falls and limits vision) & you can't unzip your inflatable for a pic b/c you deflate. Here is me testing my #nokings inflatable at home. I made it 36 blocks in #NYC and it was great.

Important:

I received this from Social Security encouraging me to check my account annually. I can no longer use my username and password, I have to use one of these validation methods. Not keen on anything .gov, I select ID.me. To get my statement, I have to upload my drivers license or passport? No.

Stephen Miller lets it slip that he is after plenary authority.

"We are not the story."

I like this guy's energy.

I am grateful for: AOC Bad Bunny Marc Elias Chris Murphy Gavin Newsom The Pope JB Pritzker Bernie Sanders Greta Thunberg And everyone else who is standing up for what is right. (This list is hardly exhaustive... just those who are giving me hope this morning.)

As I have said, I love Bad Bunny.

This needs more attention. #SaveGreta

How about this from The Economist? A touch more accurate: Trump’s net approval rating by demographic, %-points www.economist.com/interactive/...

This give me hope. "It is time we all make it."

Why isn't this trending? Greta Thunberg is a hostage of Israel.

I have been waiting for this as I have pondered what has to change. It is our "way forward" to "restore democracy"-- We need to rethink it all. Energizing and empowering. We've got this! Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social for the roadmap. (And I will go hit like on YouTube)

Wow.

These turbines have been life changing. Imagine having dial up until 2023. Imagine having clocks they did not keep time. Imagine having to shut off power at the electrical panel to prevent appliance-destroying surges. And they are beautiful to look at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/c...

This is a heartbreaking example of where we are today but I admire Sen. Villa's courage and actions to protect her community.

An article written by the kid of anti-vaxers described how, in the name of being all-natural, she was always sick. Reminder: Children will suffer. But parents will get their due-- even for non-serious cases--- they will have to juggle work and sick child. Why do that to your kid and self??

Adding this to my list of things that need to change-- obvious one I have missed. Also, all corporations need to be taxed but how about only offering tax breaks to companies where the CEO salary isn't taking millions upon millions above the average workers' salary?

Such a powerful portrayal of current events including the need to hide it.

I have a running list of things that must change. Adding this.

Missed this but answers so many questions that I had.

Seems Josh Simmons has made a positive impression as a crazy hard worker responsive to feedback. 🙂 apple.news/AIMZlFwSeT2S...

My daughter caught this last night. Happy Tuesday everyone.

So today I asked what her kids think of the freesia-daisy-tulip hat. THE FLOWER MOVEMENT www.etsy.com/listing/1872...

10/10 read. Five stars. 99 rotten tomatoes. We all need humor in this moment and this piece left me smiling at the absurdity of it all.

I gave my very proper, but very upset, friend a subtle FDT hat.... I am still waiting for her to get it

What do you think about ending presidental pardons as a needed change?
