Agree 💯 With Bernie.......

I watched this & cried. One of the most pitiful things I've have ever seen! Thankfully the dog was found & given a chance to live. From sad tears joyful tears. Watch to the end when she runs for joy on 3 legs. And the family who found her adopted her! Beautiful! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc8z...

I keep finding some nice thought-provoking articles today. Another one worth sharing... www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

My site on Substack: "Notes from an Orange Room" is where I'm posting my Duology fantasy books that I wrote more than 20 yrs ago. Fantasy is good forever because time doesn't change it. I've started adding my own illustrations and it's great fun. Check it out-The Dragons' Veil & The Dragons' Vision.

I haven't been on Bluesky lately because I signed up on Substack and it's a tad overwhelming. There are SO MANY people there writing & responding & flooding the program with opinions, truths, knowledge, experiences-well, it's a LOT. I'll try & slip back to Bluesky now & again with interesting stuff.

Found this interesting video and thought it is worth sharing. SciManDan pretty well tears apart a rather silly way that a Christian Nationalist explains morality. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

Maybe this wasn’t the best idea.

Michelle Obama talks to Jimmy Kimmel about Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner. This is from tonight’s episode.

I think it's kind of beautiful that this was Rob Reiner's final line on television

MINNEAPOLIS: “We kept yelling ‘she’s pregnant! She’s pregnant!’ — they put their knees in her… the handcuffed woman was dragged on the ground…” Lawless.

thanks for this excellent thread, seth!

The Convicted FElon is now saying that he pardoned Tina Peters, even though he doesn't have any power over state convictions. But he wants to control all levels of government, Federal, State & Local governments.

They hate on our Black queens because they can’t handle their greatness.

It's not the teachers' fault, it's the parents'.

Please don’t immediately jump on educators while every single media company and all social media apps are actively warping children’s brains, including their attention spans, with content that prioritizes constantly moving on to the next new thing.

High school teacher here. If we assign chapters to read for homework, only a handful do it. I can’t speak to why they’re not reading at home, and I don’t want to judge families and households that may be experiencing myriad hardships. So we read the books in class, and that just takes time.

In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK

A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

Cynthia’s a provider, a mom, a sister—and a fighter. As governor, I’ll bring down costs, expand care, and create more good days for families like hers.

Got the dreaded ”we see something unusual on your mammogram results” phone call yesterday. Went back in this morning for another mamo and ultrasound. The radiologist looked at everything and said “You’re all clear!” Women, stay up on your yearly mamo. It’s not fun but it can save your life.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve: ✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education 👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own” ❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history 🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

He’s made it! Wishing Dick Van Dyke a very happy 100th birthday! 🎂

Garcia: We've actually only reviewed about a fourth of the 95,000 photos that were actually sent to us late last night. And so as we're going through those photos.. we'll continue to put out photos in the days and weeks ahead

A new study of the last 50 years of US pop music shows “a significant increase in stress-related language, alongside declines in positive sentiment and lyrical complexity.”

DESPERATE TRUMP is using every Goebbels/Hitler/NAZI disinformation/social radicalization tactic he's learned since becoming Russia's asset in the 1980's: Fear/hate-mongering, slander/accusations/conspiracies/big lies..with the ultimate goal to DESTROY USA with Putin; for their own profits and gain.

Statement from Rep. Crockett on Threat at D.C. Office

Here's a groundbreaking report that examines how countries around the world have successfully expanded abortion access and protected reproductive rights. The reports offer U.S.-based policymakers proven strategies to counter restrictions and treat abortion as essential health care.

California needs a fighter and protector. I’m running for Governor.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard just announced they won’t classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols anymore they’re calling them ‘potentially divisive.’ Potentially divisive? Listen, a noose isn’t a conversation starter. A swastika isn’t a debate topic. They are dangerous hate symbols. Full stop

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Just discovered this. This little rescue could use some support. It's located in the tiny country of Macedonia. It abuts the north side of Greece, and is surrounded by Albania, Serbia, and Bulgaria. These poor rescued dogs could use some help in the cold winters of the area. sunnewhopedogrescue.org

Do better CBC. You've got a crew at the ostrich farm covering the imminent cull due to avian flu, but no one covering the several poultry farms in the lower mainland where thousands of chickens are being culled to prevent the spread of this disease. Stop feeding the ostrich frenzy. #cdnpoli

This is really moving. Totally unexpected behavior and just goes to show that dogs are more aware than we often give them credit for. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...
