Still haven’t figured out the Bluesky way of improved interaction. So, here is the requisite list of interests:
1. Family, dad with daughters.
2. Recovering GOP now liberal.
3. MLB, especially the Chicago Cubs.
4. Music education.
5. Grilling and baking.
6. Fact-checking Trumpers because I can.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com Is the GOP scared about TN District 7? They are bringing in Speaker Johnson and Marsha Blackburn to campaign for the election Tuesday. The original plan changed when they found out Dems were RSVP-ing for the event. This is a heavy GOP district.

@democrats.senate.gov WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! This is not a deal! This is not what we all asked!! You won the elections, you had the upper hand in the shutdown. Why the hell would you agree to a deal WITHOUT ACA funds?!

Tylenol causing autism. Global warming is a con job. Power belongs to the President. And military honors goes to a divisive private citizen.

My mom once called me woke and I wear it like the badge of honor it is. Why? Because for most of my life, I followed the GOP agenda like it was absolute. But, after having kids and moving around to different states, I woke up. When you start to see the world through others, you change.

The level of absurdity within the investigation of Robinson, the administration’s reaction to speech, and directive to hunt left-leaning organization is maddening.

Okay. I am done with Threads. It is full of bot and people who fall for every headline thrown on their screen.
So, if you are a former conservative, deconstructing, baseball loving, teacher, marching band instructor, Star Wars nerd, and normal person…..
You are my people.

What is annoying to me? People who insult and use condescending language regard democrats but never want to have a conversation as to why. It is proof they only want superiority.

I should really get off of Threads. Way too many people simply ignorant and gullible.

Haven’t been on here in a while. My Threads posts have been pretty well dominated with comments by MAGA. It’s funny because they say liberals won’t have conversation but then just go and insult me when I try to have a conversation.

ICE is still legally detaining and deporting people.
Inflation is rising.
Tariffs are taxes on Americans.
The DOE still does not control curricula.
Don’t lose site on the bigger things while Trump tries to distract.

Okay, Bluesky. I will give you another try. This format is not my favorite as I never liked the app formerly known as Twitter. But, Threads is far worse now. Save me from the far-right ignorance.

On Monday night, I attended the local Democrat party meeting for my community. It was concerning. First, at 45, I was the youngest in the room by at least 10 years. Second, the speaker was from @tndems.bsky.social and just wanted to brainstorm what the party can do to win. Not a great look.

Yesterday: Grades submitted for half-semester courses. Dishes put away. Laundry competed. Went to the gym.
Today: I have the house to myself all day. Will make a run to Costco. Other than that, I have no idea what to do.

Why do so many band directors program terrible music for their ensembles?

Five things I did today:
1. Taught classes.
2. Watched an ensemble I worked with perform a concert.
3. Went to the gym.
4. Scheduled judging at two more marching contests.
5. Built connections with a couple music teachers in my area.
But, I did not call my narcissist mother in her birthday.

Dear @tnsenatedems.bsky.social and @tndemocrats.bsky.social,
With all the frustrated voters speaking out against GOP in town halls, now is the time to act. Have town halls, talk with voters about the bigger issues. Get out and meet with people. They are calling for it.
The time is now.

Trump and Vance are embarrassing, but the lack of GOP calling them out is far more deplorable.

Dear United States Attorney Martin,
You serve the people of the United States and are not the President’s personal attorney. Additionally, calling the AP the enemy and you will vigilantly stand against them goes against the First Amendment.
Oh, and it is “Trump’s attorney” not “Trumps’ attorney.”

Trump Media posted their 10k document recently. It discusses the overall financial picture of the company. In addition to losing $400 million, they admit inflation is rising and will impact their business moving forward. They also say past inflation had little to no impact.
