💎 of the day: driving through a day of protest in blue-collar Conshohocken, PA, and honking my horn in support. I popped out of my car to give a woman a “Dump Musk” sticker to affix to her poster. 💙👊🏻

Watching President Zelensky on Meet the Press. He said that he will not accept a deal between the U.S. & Russia that Ukraine 🇺🇦 is not part of. Nor should he! Zelensky told Trump that Putin cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith. Slava Ukraini!

💎 of the day: watching the Super Bowl in my new Eagles 🦅 gear! We enjoyed the Puppy 🐶 Bowl earlier. Looking forward to eating those Eagles 🦅 sugar cookies later. I approve of Taylor Swift’s white jacket and hope the media features her more often than the current occupant of the WH. Go, Eagles! 🦅

💎 of Feb. 7: attending my first Montgomery (Colonial) Dems monthly meeting. While I’m still an activist in my own right (postcard-writing parties 🎉) with Postcards to Swing States, I’m looking 👀 to expand my activism locally. I knew that I was in the right place when I arrived and saw this poster.
