To the web designers out there, please come to terms with the fact that MANY in the world CANNOT READ WHITE LETTERS ON A BLACK OR DARK BACKGROUND!!!

Not that any of you are old enough to remember WordPerfect but it was not usable until they put a "paper-looking" Overlay over the screen!

Stop it!

Flood the zone. We are America, we are kind, we believe in the equality of all AMERICANS, and we believe that HATE has no place.

We believe in the Separation of Powers and the Rule of Law as our foundation. We are AMERICA.🇺🇸🌈🙏🇺🇸

I'm just going to say it...just going to say it...but I am so radically tired of men defending other men who are in the wrong. I don't care if it is in business, or socially, or politically, or within the family. Come on boys, if someone does a poor job, or says the wrong thing -call them out on it!

THE HOUSE PASSED THE SAVE ACT AND IT IS HEADED TO THE SENATE. CALL YOUR SENATOR AND DEMAND THAT THEY VOTE NO. BECAUSE A YES VOTE TAKES AWAY MY RIGHT TO VOTE BECAUSE I TOOK MY HUSBAND'S LAST NAME. #NOTOSAVEACT

Watching Aaron Parma’s interview Cory Booker after making history warm my old heart.

so tired of pundits and reporters try to defend what is happening with the economy and the statement that it will be temporarily pain- for who? You got a mouse in your pocket? 1st that is what abusers say. 2nd fall for it - then you are a victim 3rd that bring everyone down-including the mouse

Takes too be minute to call - do it!
Senate Democrats can’t surrender. Make sure your senator votes NO on cloture and doesn’t cave on the extreme MAGA spending bill. 👇
March 14, 2025 at 12:55 PM
So, let’s not cave in. If I’m out here protesting and phone banking then the Senate Dems can step up to the plate and protest the bill and hold the GOP to the fire! WTF!
“This is bullsh*t. This is not a real strategy. The reason why you do this is because you think your constituents are too dumb to understand how congressional procedure works.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social

OMG! closing the blinds in the front of the house - thought I saw the moon - blinked - & watched a weird cloud pass by - like a plane flying within its own cloud. It was Space X! I watch those rockets lift off from my back yard all the time & now watch exploded parts past in the front…It’s Florida
