Wow! Just realized Jack's brother Ryan plays Grace Garvey's second husband Ian in #BadSisters. He looks different but I knew him by his voice. #SilentWitness The bad brother. 😁😂😉

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

Looking for my #Jakki peeps on this platform. (Not politics for a change.) Anybody else counting the days until January 6th, #SilentWitness Season 28? 👋🏻

Okay, so I'm the opposite of on trend. Finally watched #tedlasso with my free Apple TV trial. At first I thought it was typical American feel-good schlock, but there are layers. Was sorry when it ended. ⚽️🥅 🇬🇧🇺🇲

Cannot think of a more MAGA representation for MAGA than using a white South African immigrant as their poster child for “America First”.

Just clipped this screenshot over on Facebook. Just strikes me as a timely echo of where we seem to be headed. 😒

Trump's pick for Commerce Secretary, billionaire Howard Lutnick, is under fire for improperly mixing his personal business interests — including close ties to crypto — with running Trump's transition team.

Just another reminder that Trump serves the oligarchy, not the people.

To recap: Trump is a rapist found liable for defaming the woman he raped. His pick for attorney general is currently accused of statutory rape at sex parties. His pick for defense secretary is accused of sexual assault.

But Sarah McBride using a restroom is the threat.

Okay.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

I’ve been posting this like crazy. Thirty states have local elections. WI and PA have Supreme Court elections and VA and NJ have statewide. Want to send a message to Trump and MAGA? Win those races. OK has primaries on Feb 11th! Want to fight that lunatic Education Sec there? RUN for school board!
