I refuse to believe that our Dem Governor won by 14.82% (54.9% of the vote) and yet Harris only took 47.65% and lost by 3.22%. That difference is too big.

And the mess with the State Supreme Court seat that Riggs won and Griffin trying to throw out valid votes is a real bad look.

Agreed. They were posting multiple times an hour and now have gone silent here. I don't like it. I hope they are just busy.

Thing is, every post I've seen is duplicated here and these aren't. I would think if they had a blip on 👩🏽‍🦲📘 they would make sure to post it here.

Hey Alt

Is this legit on 👩🏽‍🦲📘? I ask b/c the tone of wording is very different than normal and I'm on high alert when things change on a whistleblowing page.

The biggest problem for individuals on the ground is not knowing what to do that can help. Calling congressmen only goes so far. The feeling of helplessness feeds into the bleakness.

My husband dabbles in buying stocks when he can and I work for a Fortune 500 mega corporation.

I say if you own stock that suddenly and inexplicabley jumps in value, question it. Question why they can suddenly make value when they couldn't before T took away the regulations. Reflect on that.

I used to feel guilty because it is a lot of sugar, but when you can't eat anything else, the sugar is part of the point, too. But some protein bars are proud to claim they have 16g of protein and they taste horrid. Hot jello sounds weird when used to is cold, but it's delicious.

I am on a couple of meds that mute hunger a lot. On the nights I can't eat anything else, I take a box of flavored Jello powder and mix it in a mug with another packet of plain, unflavored gelatin, and top it off with boiling water to dissolve. It's a sneaky way to get down 16 grams of protein.

I second Heather Cox Richardson. She is a calm, unsensational, logical voice in the madness. She explains everything with a backdrop against history.

She does a weekly live feed on Tuesdays, 4pm est. It is my weekly news.

Why does this look more like Melania than fake Melania does??

Understandable.

If she ever felt frisky and wanted to post current events adjacent one offs to the members' feed (like her PhD episode), I would listen over and over. That and the authoritarian episode are frequent repeats for me. We are going to need resources exposing and explaining their 🐂💩.

BHP is the first podcast I can listen to after having a migraine. I love Jaime's voice timbre along with the fantastic history.

Alright, alright! Fine. I'm dragging my grumpy butt over. Apparently, I haven't become completely jaded to hoping for a pleasant social platform. 🦕
