I wasn't a Taylor Swift fan (wrong demo, 67), but she's earned my respect. She's shrewd, intelligent, ambitious and every bit the business woman. I'll check her out on Spotify.
When over 35,000 people registered to vote this week, Taylor Swift got some harsh backlash.
She didn't tell folks how to vote. She just told them to register so they could vote. But Republicans don't want you to vote.
So Taylor decided to champion democracy.

Candace Owens responded to a young woman challenging Owen's anti-trans rant by pointing out Native American Two Spirit people existed. Owens goes off on her, calling
Native Americans cannibals and drug users. Shocking, racist and vile.
Flagler Co. FL pulled out all the Black 4/5th graders, blamed them for underperformance, promised them fried chicken for doing better and told them they could be jailed or shot and killed if they didn't bring grades up.

My husband and I voted in the comfort of our living room last week (then took them to the drop box). Every Democrat on the ballot got our votes. We're so grateful to live on the west coast in a blue state. Every state should be able to vote by mail.
@JerasIkehorn
I was impressed with Madam Speaker's professional demeanor under pressure. She was able to listen to AND comprehend multiple conversations. She took charge when others froze and she did all that in high heels and without vulgarity. Real class in action.

I'm reminded of an old story I was taught as a Seventh-day Adventist school boy. We could eat from either the "Tree of Life" and follow christ or from the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" and take your chance with satan. I chose knowledge. Best decision I probably ever made.

Star Trek the original series. It has become part of the cultural zeitgeist and American lexicon. It was green-lit
by Lucille Ball who was, herself, a pioneer in television and early Hollywood. Star Trek has a pretty nice pedigree.

Senator Feinstein could retire now and be assured of her place in history. An honorable
and dignified retirement. Choosing to cause
unnecessary trouble for your own Party will overshadow any and all previous accomplishments.

He's telling us exactly what he is and will do if given power. If he says he's going to slit some throats, that's exactly what he means.
Pay attention. It's not just turning a phrase.

I'm 1 of the 62% of Americans who believe abortion should be available in ALL cases. It's none of my business and it's none of yours either. I'm not Pro-abortion, I'm Pro-women.
He's vile
He's repugnant
He's loathsome
He's irredeemable
He's sociopathic
He's a creature better suited in a traveling Texas freakshow along with a dog-face boy or Sasquatch.
If anyone feels the urge to pile-on
GO FOR IT!

It's entirely based on the situation. It can easily be mistaken as condescending or mocking, but when spoken with sincerity, it can be endearing and quite charming.

If I read the words "evangelical", "dominionists" or "born again" in the candidate's bio it an automatic disqualification. Otherwise, no, it wouldn't be an issue.
@realTuckFrumper
He doesn't like to look at women's arms. Fair enough.
I suggest women should cover their arms when the Texass Rep wears a bag over his face.
I'd like to think that if this happened in Washington State there'd by protests and boycotts and we'd stop this horseshit in it's tracks. I'd like to think
I don’t understand how DeSantis is getting away with turning Florida into a primitive,fascist state.Why aren’t rational citizens marching in the streets? Are they ok with book banning, lgbtq+ & trans-bashing, forced birth, menstrual registration, etc? Is there no outrage at all?
"Remember, it didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing the people with ‘us vs. them.’ It started with intolerance and hate speech, and when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye, it became a slippery slope to genocide".
My resolution is to try my best to not use the word "democrat" when I really should use the word "democratic". Republicans started saying this as an insult and, unfortunately, it's been mainstreamed. It may be a little thing, but it's really important to me. Thank you.
I won't set foot in Florida until DeSatan is history. This applies to Texas as well.
DeSantis and Abbott are greedy, selfish, power-hungry, fascist dictators in waiting.
I extend my sympathies to the people who didn't vote for these monsters.
@ChuckCjmmn
All I know is I got my shot 3 days ago and my 5G strength has never been better. I haven't come across any whales or windmills, though. I'll have to get back to you on that.
This is from Florence Italy last night they are protesting the rising threat of fascism.
I wish Americans would show a fraction of the awareness and unity they have.

People really should learn about the New Apostolic Reformation. They're very serious about reshaping America into a biblically based/ten commandments society. That would be very, very bad for secular America and those of us who like being free to make our own decisions.
If your county is on this list, beware. Lance Wallnau is a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a global movement that promotes dominionism, the belief that Christians have a mandate from God to control all aspects of government & society. 1/
Marjorie Taylor Greene just claimed that a single elementary school in Illinois received $5.1 billion to teach CRT. She added, "That's almost a thousand dollars"

Reformed SDA here. Grew up in Loma Linda CA, went to the Academy worked at the University. The town literally shuts down from Fri sunset to Sat sunset. Can't transact business, the exception being the hospital and medical care. Very judgemental people.
Just my opinion; original author unknown
🧵People who don't read, can't spell, and think using correct grammar is 'elitist', should STFU about what literature should be available to students. 1/9

I'm beyond satisfied. I'm astounded that man of his advanced years could perform as well as he does. I'm 66 and I couldn't do it. Joe Biden is exactly the right man to hold the office of the President of the United States of America at this time in it's history. He's my President
Reminder: Yesterday Florida's Confederate Governor
@GovRonDeSantis
declared the history of black Americans "lacks educational value" and may not be taught in Florida public schools under penalty of law.
The history of black people in America lacks educational value.

I'm reminded that it's illegal to yell FIRE in a crowded theatre. Isn't spreading lies (sorry, I won't say misinformation) about vital vaccination information during a pandemic illegal? Even a little bit? SMDH
I wonder what they would do if a 57 year old man decided he wants to marry a 16 year old boy? Gay marriage is legal now. Seems to me if it's legal to marry little girls then it's legal to marry boys. As disgusting as that sounds.
Efforts to raise the age of marriage to 16 in Wyoming have stalled as the WY GOP is urging its constituents to oppose a bill to add a minimum age, not because the bill is too weak, but because the bill stood to rob their constituents of "constitutional rights" to marry a child.
This homeless man's rabbit was thrown over a bridge by a passerby in Dublin, Ireland, and he immediately jumped in to the river to save her and resuscitated her. He won an award, was given animal food and a job, and the passerby was charged with animal cruelty....
Agreed. Stop with the shaking, convulsions, and flopping around like a carp. You lie and you look like an ass. Aren't you embarrassed?
I would be, but my momma didn't raise a mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging moron, either.
Just for the record, I am a heart patient, Afib and HBP.I have had 5 Covid vaccines with ZERO side effects and NO Covid. So, enough with the lies and BS.
I was able to follow back quite a few people today then I hit my limit... Again. Have faith my friends. I'll continue to FB as space becomes available. As a reward for your patience please enjoy this picture of my cat, Sammy. Toodles,

I started blocking ads last week and now I have no ads at all. I haven't seen any ad for two days now. I don't know if this is normal, but it's nice.

I hope to read that Florida Universities tell Gov. Fascist vonFatass to go to hell, but I doubt that'll happen. He + his policies will live on long after he's gone if this cancerous, tumor of a man isn't stopped in his tracks.
Ron DeSantis has sent a letter to all Florida Universities asking them for the names of every student who has had “gender assignment surgery”! This is against the law. He is attempting to commit “crimes against certain sectors of humanity”.The entire Country Must TAKE A STAND NOW
OMG—When the MRI machine was turned on, the magnetic 🧲 force pulled his gun from his waistband & it discharged—the bullet struck him in the abdomen—killing him. He was an advocate of gun ownership and encouraged people on TikTok/Instagram to collect guns.

Today. And I wear one every time I'm sharing a confined, indoor space with other people. I'm accustomed to them now and it's the right thing to do.
Can't sleep. Watching my child sleep with gratitude. He was swatted by someone and Southaven police arrested, handcuffed and put him in juvenile detention for three days. I am LIVID. We've hired lawyers. The police had NO EVIDENCE. The judge that verbally ok'd the arrest warrant
