Strands #580 “Bring it home” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵 Find a word and it will make sense.

Still his biggest hit, with over 7 million copies sold, the RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America) has added it to their Songs of the Century list.

This is Trump’s America. Pure Chaos and corruption!

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

Strands #579 “Who's in charge?” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🟡🔵🔵 Easy one.

Credit to the mutual who posted this.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

My enemy. Live and let live. But grow on my property or be an icky creature that ventures into my house…you’ve been warned. You will be vanquished.

That speech was simply appalling. Glad veterans in Congress are speaking out.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours. Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

This, 💯%. And it's not merely messaging—it's just simple, discernible fact. The best messaging is messaging that reminds people of what is true and known to be true. The entire 2024 presidential campaign should have been about this.

Still wouldn't see because they had time to become millionaires.

Strands #578 “The slightest touch …” 🔵🟡🔵🔵 🔵🔵 Hhhmmm….

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about violating the Hatch Act? TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is about letting the American people know what's going on. C: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.

Here’s my cliff notes summary of Pete Hegseth’s big military address today

#ImpeachTrump #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump

🚨 Republicans canceled votes the very day the government shut down. Healthcare costs will skyrocket for millions—but Trump & the GOP would rather grandstand than govern. Meanwhile, Democrats are WORKING. And Republicans literally skipped town—instead of doing their jobs. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

My thoughts when hearing Hegseth live was that there are so many POC and women that serve. Including high ranking Generals and Admirals. How humiliating to sit through that and hear that you aren’t worthy or that you skipped the line because of your skin color. 1/3

More shootings and deaths in Indy. How’s that 2nd amendment working for you? Was absent from news pretty much for awhile. Two days back and disgusted.

Strands #576 “For goodness' sake” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵 Certain groups in our current society aren’t familiar with these at all.

It’s not even tomorrow and yet I’m so tired of being tired.

Utilities, groceries, health care premiums all going sky high, and he’s blabbering on like he’s Louis XIV in Versailles.

Portland isn’t a war zone—it’s a city of knitters, painters, and coffee-sipping dreamers. Sending troops to ‘protect’ it is like bringing a flamethrower to a yarn circle. We stand with Portland’s peace, art, and quirky charm!
