Back from a great concert of Christmas music focused on children, dir. by Eric Parrish @prince-bge.bsky.social, in our small diverse town.
Thinking about my kids, grandkid, the things that this admin has done to damage children across the world, I sobbed in the pew.
We have work to do. Get involved!

I'm probably wrong. Those Supreme Court justices are pretty smart, eh?
Is racial gerrymandering (illegal) okay when the real purpose is partisan gerrymandering (legal)?
In Louisiana, to help blacks, nope.
In Texas, to help whites, yep.

Get ready for a Mike Johnson magic trick.
Watch his devoutness convene for one vote, a "ghost House" to approve the bill that kicks the shutdown can down the road. Then poof!
Should be fun to watch. His god Don will watch. I hope Rep. Grijalva and some rape victims get front seats for the show.

I wonder if Shumer and the cavers (none of whom are up for re-election in 2026) realize how mad the Dem base will be at them after delivering last week's victories?
Note: I think the revisions mean that the House must approve... must come back in session... Grijalva! Epstein!
Trump's choice, eh?

Call Congress! 202-224-3121. They'll direct you to your Rep. or Sen.
Tell them that we cannot believe R's promises of future behavior - their history of breaking promises has led to that. They lie. Haven't we learned that yet?
Tell D leaders not to squander this last election's energy.

Estimates of deaths from USAID shutdown: 600,000 including 400,000 children.

I am grounded in my faith and in my 20 years of service as a public school teacher. These cuts to SNAP betray our moral duty to care for the sick, the hungry, and the thirsty.
That’s the message I shared in front of Congressman Brad Finstad’s office on Monday.

Relax and enjoy the fact that Americans are wising up. Take a day or so.
Then get working on voting protection for 2026. Convince people to vote by mail where possible. Help people get to the polls.

There are $6B reserves to help SNAP stay afloat after Nov. 1st. SNAP needs $8B but the 6 sure helps. The money is kept for exactly a shutdown scenario.
Trump won't release it, blames Dems for the shutdown, and leaves for Asia. Gives Argentina $20B.
Intentional cruelty against our poorest.

Another week, no House. More than a month with Gabby Gifford's old district (800K+) without representation.
Has Johnson effectively canceled half of one of the three branches of government?
My rep Finstad (R-MN) doesn't seem to mind, parrots "the Democratic shutdown". Useless. Gotta vote him out.

Heartwarming to see so many people show up all over! Red states too!
