Aunt, National Park lover, Philly sports fan, hiker, skier, terrible cook. Full-time servant to a fluffy, demanding cat named Sierra. Can ramble on endlessly about the best hiking trails, women's sports, and what's wrong with America.
This.
It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

Stuff we bought from Costco today instead of Target. And yes, I willfully braved Costco on a Sunday. #deimatters

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Exactly right. Exit polls showed that a top voter concern was inflation. There hasn't been any focus so far on rebuilding the middle class, only tactics to distract us as the wealth gap continues to grow.
Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans.

Don't let them get away with it.

OMG. I knew it might happen, but I am absolutely disgusted. What a disgrace.
Trump just pardoned every January 6th criminal. Even the violent ones.

I'm sick to my stomach.

Oh, but he'll be "better for the economy?" (#1 reason Republicans I know shared for voting for him when I asked them WHYYYYYY??!?TF?!)
Reminder that the estimated cost of extending the Trump tax cuts is at least $5 trillion — more than twice the amount DOGE originally stated it would cut in “wasteful” government spending.
Republicans gear up for the coming battle over $5 trillion tax cut's costs
Republicans are united on extending the 2017 tax cuts, but at odds on how to offset the cost.

Agreed. Always!
You have 27 days till Trump is President. If you are celebrating a holiday with your family, be the one in the room standing up for the rights and joys of others.

Hi Bluesky. This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for people who always hold the doors at Wawa, Saquon Barkley, my cat (👑), my emotional support Canadian, the courage and commitment of @altnps.bsky.social and a growing community of fellow shamelessly hopeful progressives. And Philly, as always. 💙
