I have my head in the clouds. Professionally.
There's a lot going on, and a lot to get spun up about. Adding context to topics so you can get spun up about things that matter now and back burner things that you don't need to be spun up about *yet*

Congress is broken because too many people in power are comfortable doing nothing. I’m running for Congress to stand for YOU instead of the few.
We need new people in office that fight for you, not just their re-election.

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up.
What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

Growing season isn't quiet here yet, but #springfever is at a peak. I have shelves of starts, pots of propagation, and more seeds than I know what to do with.
Since it lifts the mood and gives a sense of agency, I recommend gardening to anyone feeling a need to do SOMETHING. #resisitancegardens

Americans, take inspiration from this Ukrainian and share. The American people are currently in the confused state that Ukranians were once in. The time for the people is coming, as more and more people open their eyes to the corner they're being backed into, they will rise and fight like no other

In advance of the Amazon boycott 3/7-3/14, here are some alternatives from someone who hasn’t personally used Amazon since ~2017.

I'm betting this Crypto Scheme with the sovereign wealth fund is a plot to rob the Treasury bling, "legally". Here's how:
Say you buy $1,000,000 in "trump coin" at $0.10. Now you have 10,000,000 coins. Now put the Trillions of US treasury money in trump coin. Prices skyrocket. 1/? #Altgov #crypto

It's warm and I am in the mood for something refreshing. Cleaning up my gardens I noticed my blackberries are trying to root at the ends, so that tiny plant I got last year is now 6 plants, and this year, I'll be swimming in juicy berries. Going to get raspberries started this year, too.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.
We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.
