@nicperrins.bsky.social interesting you chose to remain single.…were you “lucky” to not become involved with a suitable partner or was it a distinct no from early on???

@andreatromans.bsky.social How are you feeling Andrea ..a bit better I hope 🤞🏻

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

A short story every mother will relate to. After WW2 a mother is left to bring up her daughter on her own after her husband was killed in action. Through circumstance she is forced to leave her child with social services as she is unable to afford to keep her. Then one day, many years on...Amazon K.
