Any news on what Virginia is going to do with their SNAP replacement VENA now that partial benefits will be paid by the feds? Not surprisingly, Gov. sweatervest's comms people do not respond to my (blogger) emails.

If you live on the NNK of Virginia or know someone who does, OR want to help people who will not have SNAP benefits tomorrow, check out Free food on the NNK maphub.net/susiecambria... #foodinsecurity #helpingothers #antihunger #feedvirginia

!! And more than that, this is not exactly how the process works.

Great news when we most need it: $40 for a 10-person Thanksgiving meal this year, $7 cheaper than last year. #aldiusa @thehustle.bsky.social

Because one must share this: Edelweiss for Today: Epstein Files; A Sound of Music Challenge for Trump youtu.be/jV9mEkvJAbE?... #FDT #downwithfascism

Well, this seems to be borne out by the ever growing population of MAGA.

⁨20 million Americans are on the brink of higher premiums, co-pays, and deductibles because of Republicans’ refusal to negotiate. This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.⁩

#WTF Seriously, #WTF

Politics is everywhere, like it or not. You can choose to ignore it. But then don't be surprised when that decision bites you and yours in the ass. Ignoring it IS a decision. And #decisionsaremadebythosewhoshowup

This is how it's done: Italians and Americans recognize those lost in the b24j that was shot down in Pontebba 80 years ago. Families, townspeople come together to commemorate with plaque. www.facebook.com/bombaschgrab...

This. Either RFK Jr. doesn't know his job or he knows his job and is gaslighting. Either way, he needs to be run out of office. RFK Jr. is a danger to America. #FuckRFKJr

We need to take silver and a cross to the likes of Vought. He is everything Jesus was not.

Heads up Chicago! While the National Guard is probably going to spend some time spreading mulch around federal buildings, there will be more armed kidnappers with badges than usual in town. These resources will be needed by someone.

Have members of the GOP started sharing thoughts and prayers?

WTF, people, WTF?

How many officers does it take to do whatever it is they are doing? Tho, I'm kinda impressed that you can see his badge, name, and face.

ICE & militarized police are increasing their presence in #WashingtonDC ⚠️ Take care during this red alert in DC 📞 Report immediately at 202-335-1183. ✊🏽 Know your rights: wearecasa.org/know-your-rights

If you live in DC, near DC, far from DC, on another continent, make your way to my adopted home September 6 for this rally and show the galaxy we've got DC's back and reject #FDT 's view of the world.

How is it possible I didn't know about this?!!!!! didtrumpgolftoday.com #FDT

Boop!

Parent and activist extraordinaire @martau.bsky.social describes DC as a parent of children of color, in Time archive.ph/wxm4K Do what she says: "Demand action from your Members of Congress and donate to local efforts. They won’t stop at DC and LA. Know this." www.facebook.com/marta.urquil...

Read through the list. Silence. That one hits hard as so many people are quiet about things that matter…

One of several quilts in process is this #quiltingtheresistance one. Been listening to Maren Morris' Girl youtu.be/X0vXCY-h9ks?... while sewing, tho that song was not the inspo for this quilt. Girl HAS inspired another & I'll start on that next week. #Skyquilt #quiltsky @marenmorris.bsky.social

I don't know where to begin with my reaction to this. . . So a masked bandit takes down a sign and then a federal government agency thinks the vid of the removal is worthy of sharing. Christ, we are fucked.

Because we need more than one fab woman to read this most outstanding of letters!!!!! Dawn O'Porter reads a letter of complaint to Always maxi pads youtu.be/buIhuHv2h3c?... and Sharon Horgan reads a letter of complaint about Always sanitary pads youtu.be/FxC34A-nYas?...

Quilters get this #squaredup thing. Let's get to it! #SkyQuilt #quiltsky #quilt #fightingfordemocracy

I'd like to hear @anneapplebaum.bsky.social, Fiona Hill, and @maddow.msnbc.com talk about the influence of Russia/USA on the other, the admiration of Americans for Russia, etc.

How 'bout the people in power do something other than complain about the previous people. I feel like their job is to work and not complain.

I CHOSE to live in far southeast. ALONE. I had lovely, friendly, supportive neighbors who looked out for me and I for them. It was a community filled with retirees, working folk, artists, students. I NEVER felt threatened or scared. The idea that DC is scary and unsafe completely misses the mark.

Doesn't putin already look at trump that way?

This, my Virginia (and not Virginia) friends. #voteblue

This WILL be A BIG BEAUTIFUL RALLY!!!🌟🌟🌟 CA LIBTARDS FUCKING ROCK!!! LFG NEWSOM!!!
