Elementary teacher in another lifetime.
Uncertain about our future, but definitely NOT giving up.
Continually inspired by former student @AOC
☮️🕊️⚖️
Pinned
This remains timely:
If I ever have another job interview, and someone asks “Why do you think you could do this job? You’ve never done anything like this before...”
I will proceed to tell them the story of teaching during a pandemic...

If Trump wants veterans in Congress killed for affirming U.S. law, doesn’t that make him the very danger the Founders warned would destroy the republic, the kind impeachment was designed for?

The weather in the Hudson Valley today seems to be mirroring our current political moment— a little bit of everything—all at the same time.
Just when you think things are settling down a tad—Boom.
Sideways rain.
Wind.
And Blue sky.

The yoga teacher offered up the following mantra this morning for us to use during class:
“What if everything turns out better than you ever thought it would?”

Such a great thought.

But all I could think of was:
“F-ck Chuck.
F-ck Chuck.
F-ck Chuck.”

There are certain things you think are set in stone and will never change.
And then one day, you discover change is possible.
Could there be a bigger message in this finding?

Done
Dem Senators want to negotiate for a "promise".

In addition to calls, you can send these Senators a text via www.pleasegrowaspine.org.

After 11/4, we're in a position of POWER and have LEVERAGE!

No negotiating. Either Republicans agree to extend ACA credits or get to own the famine that follows.

One of my favorite quotes of the day:
(thank you @rbreich.bsky.social )

"With Tr-mp in the Oval Office, “news” should no longer be defined as what the president of the United States says or writes or thinks, because the president of the United States is incapable of coherent thought."

Truth.

We are 10 months into Trump’s presidency and Republican control of Washington.

The only major thing they’ve accomplished is Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” which kicks 10 million Americans off their health care, strips food assistance from millions more, and hands $1T in tax cuts to the top 1%.

Updated partial list of Dem Senators negotiating to end the shutdown:

Gary Peters (D-Michigan)
Mark Kelly (D-Arizona)
Angus King (I-Maine)
Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH)
Maggie Hassan (D-NH)

Instead of using our election blowout as leverage to extend ACA credits, they'll agree to a "promise" to do so.
Fvck!
Our work is NOT done.
"Centrist" Senate Dems are negotiating to end the shutdown in exchange for "promises" to extend #ACAcredits down the line.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

Hit those phones, and target those "centrist" Senators.

Our family owns a stringed instrument shop.
It’s very soothing to sit amongst all the beautiful wood and strings.
Sometimes it’s a little like being in an ice cream shop, without the calories…
