Are the Tennessee results a bummer? Sure.
I also think they’re as good as we could expect. Dems gained more votes there in 1 year than I’d have thought possible last year.
Here’s hoping Dems start listening to their voters and go left instead of pandering to those who will never vote for them.

I feel like Duo is trying to make me feel like I did better than I did.
Languages are so hard for me, but I’m trying my best, so yay.
Gonna switch back to free Duolingo in 2026 since I got a lifetime Babbel account from my hubby.

Thanks to ICE we had to explain to EJ (age 5) why she can’t volunteer this Dec. like she did last year.
They’re worried ICE would show up & take families.
No big holiday event. No boxes of food, clothes, toys, books, face painting, crafts. No Santa.
Those families will get gift cards at least.

EJ watched the Macy’s parade for the first time. She squealed a lot.
When she saw the Indigenous dancers she asked about them. I explained how they were in America before the rest of us and that their land was stolen from them.
She replied “Well, that’s not nice.” Indeed baby girl.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

We shouldn’t have to shame the medical world on social media to treat Black women like human beings. Or like they treat white women. Definitely shouldn’t need a law forcing the issue. Still here we are.

A woman gave birth 8 minutes after a hospital turned her away. A bill aims to stop that from happening again.
The legislation seeks to stop Black women from suffering during and after childbirth and hold hospitals accountable, according to bill language obtained exclusively by NBC News.

So despite his mom being here, he’s held as an “unaccompanied minor” and understands none of what is happening to him.

They couldn’t get Leticia James or James Comey. So now they’re going after Senator Mark Kelly, presumably for reminding soldiers that they can refuse illegal orders.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.
The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.
Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

I have not played Roblox but do have an account that I let EJ use to play the Blippi and Gabby’s dollhouse stuff on there. Only with me. No chat.
Been thinking of deleting it, seems to be time. That CEO is really bad at this. Who describes pedophiles on their app an opportunity? Eewww.

I know nothing about gaming. But I know evil when I see it. And a CEO who answers the question 'how do you think of the problem of predators on Roblox?' with 'We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity' is either the stupidest person in existence, or straightforwardly evil.
