Love working in higher education. Have always had rescued dogs and cats (almost all from abusive situations). Philadelphia is my home (yes, I say "wudder"). Accessibility advocate & teach how to make content electronically accessible. Democrat.
So, @schumer.senate.gov, what's the genius plan you have to counter the enmity of so many Democrats? Or are you an enormous jerk who doesn't care what happens to us?
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?

@fetterman.senate.gov - You are done. You and your compatriots who just freaking wimped out to Trump and his regime disgust me. Do you know how many people will DIE because of you and your lack of a backbone? I will actively campaign for your opponent. The t-shirt I bought to support your campaign?

I am so sick of feeling hope and then some spineless Democrat comes along and wrecks it. @schumer.senate.gov - you have let us down and have caused a new level of distress that I hope bounces back on you tenfold. YOU. AREN'T. HELPING.

When I had long hair I would have TOTALLY worn that at work. Would've had to get there extra early to get that look together, but it would have been worth it. youtube.com/shorts/_N43n...

Yup, Harry, sounds about right.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

Such a disturbing photograph. It captures a man devoid of empathy, who is impatiently waiting for them to get rid of the distraction so people can return to focusing on him. The insouciance and lack of concern for a lackey is unsettling to those of us who do care for our fellow humans.

I was showing people how to embed weblinks in descriptive text. I use real links to dogs up for adoption in Philadelphia. I update them each time I teach this workshop. Two years ago I saw this dog and almost adopted him. Look at that sad face and that ONE EYEBROW!!! Hope he's a happy pooch now.

Is it presumptuous of me to be doing a bit of a Democratic happy dance over here? We have SO MUCH more to go, but man, I know I'm not alone in being bolstered by what was accomplished in our elections yesterday.

I am in a wheelchair these days. But that doesn't stop me from voting in-person. I love witnessing America doing one of the most American things we can do. Bolsters my spirit. But I gotta tell you the "handicapped pick-up" area at the church where I vote is more of a ski ramp. Scary!

Zohran Mamdani (New York's next mayor) was raised by a mother who set the example.
I never met Zohran Mamdani, but I *did* meet and produce this short 2009 TV doc about his amazing mother, Mira Nair!
Watch if you want a sense of the intelligence and kindness of the woman who brought up the next mayor of NYC
And get out there and vote, New Yorkers!!!!!

I remember when all I had in my cupboard was a can of beets for dinner. I ate the contents of that can and figured I could score leftovers from a big meeting that was happening the next day (always packed extra Ziplocs for those days). That would keep me going until my paycheck. /1

Amen. And now their employees will be more disgruntled as they and their families go hungry and can't afford medical care. But Bezos and the Waltons deliberately turn a blind eye. Horrific human beings.
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
