Elizabeth Warren (D) and Jim Banks (R) say they have heard from dozens of fire departments about delayed deliveries, defective parts and escalating prices of new fire engines.

They are investigating the role of private equity in reshaping the industry.

Look it seems like a reasonable response to me.
This is so accurate. We millennials grew up amidst CONSTANT Columbine-level trauma.

Nothing scares us anymore. 😎😑

People in Texas have been calling him #govhotwheels for years. Greg Abbott is a complete mess. He rides around talking against woke policies and DEI. When he's the biggest beneficiary of DEI. #disabletheramps #hotmess #horriblegovernor
MAGA is big mad at Democratic House Rep. Jasmine Crockett for making this comment about Texas Governor Greg Abbott:

“Y’all know we’ve got Governor Hot Wheels down there...and the only hot thing about him is that he’s a hot ass mess.”

I take this personally. My dad volunteered while imprisoned at Heart Mountain. He believed in a united front against facism. He was the only one of his squad to survive the war. The 100th was feted in deep red Texas by survivors of the Lost Battalion rescue, a heroic story now buried as “woke DEI”

Only white people can remove American racism…by not being racist. And that responsibility is on us, not POC. So too, misogyny is a men problem, not a women problem.

This is what book banning is. This is its goal. Wholesale removal of entire peoples and their history has always been the agenda. They softened the target with claims about obscenity that some folks fell for and when they got away with it they kept going.

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.

It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌

I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)
