It is amazing to see how much the kittens have grown in three weeks. The first pic is at one day old, and the second is at 3 weeks. They are getting used to being held now. #CatsofBluesky

NEW: When Missouri Republicans claimed their congressional gerrymander was already in effect, they dealt a major blow to voters wanting the final word in the state’s redistricting battle. But pro-voter organizers say there’s still a path forward.

I speak for millions of frustrated Democratic voters who wonder why their party always seems to be on the losing side of decisive issues when the Republican Party campaigns on lies and fantasies and proves to be incompetent when it wins power.

So yesterday I posted this. And it meant to much to put a name on it.
If you have suffered the same. I am going to share with you the suggestions.
First there are three books to be read in order. Do not mix them up.
1. Man’s search for meaning by Viktor Frankl.
2. The myth of normal by Gabor Mate

Best session with my therapist yesterday. It’s been three months since what happened to me at work.
It’s what is called a “moral injury.” 😳
The key word is violation.
Not pressure.
Not tiredness.
Not disappointment.
Violation.
It is betrayal by leadership
Injustice
Erasure

Even if you’re a good candidate and run a good campaign and there’s an historic blue wave, you’re still going to lose in deep red districts. Look that reality in the face and ask yourself two questions.

They are so much like siblings in that they love to snuggle and hang out together most of the time, but other times they like to annoy each other. #CatsOfBluesky

It’s also an attack on women because they declared that teachers and nurses, predominantly female careers, are NOT professional. The designation of professional, allows for more financial aid. This fits in with their plan to keep women barefoot and pregnant.

The kittens were a week old yesterday. They all seem to be doing well and have almost doubled in weight.
I'm amazed at how well their young mother has done with them, despite her small size and back-to-back pregnancies. #CatsofBluesky

This is spot on. I've known for some time that the Democrat messaging is bad. They appear disjointed because they can't focus on the things that unify them. They also need to simply the message and repeat it at every interview and opportunity.
Effective sound bites are simple, striking, and assertive. They crystallize perceptions that are vaguely forming in the public mind, or they offer a resolution to people’s worries. Here are eight sound bites for Democrats.

My daughter and SIL took on a foster cat from a co-worker. They were told she had a litter 2 months ago, and they found homes for the kittens. They were surprised to find out the cat was pregnant AGAIN, and had kittens only one week later! Poor kitty - she isn't even 2 yrs old. #CatsofBluesky

I don’t think people really understand what happened this year to many American workers.
A huge amount of new jobs were created under the Biden administration with the infrastructure investment and jobs act. Literally trillions were put into this. Electricians, builders and yes
