Finally, get ready to vote in the midterms. Stay up to date on the shenanigans. Be ready, know your candidates, bring your friends, and make your voices heard. Veterans deserve our best, not the bare minimum. #VA2026RuleChange #StopVARatingsCuts #VetMedicationRule /End
Next, light up your U.S. Senators and Representative. If you don't know who they are, check out the 5 Calls app or www.congress.gov/members/find.... Calling is best - I call after hours with a prepared script to avoid talking to someone and jot out a script, but do what works for you. /3
The new rule, while in effect, is open for comment. This is a great place to start making your voice heard. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... /2
Asking for your help: A new VA disability rule is open for comment, but went into effect immediately. It says that all new and reevaluated claims will now be based status WITH MEDICATION. Think about that. Here's a news article...if it makes you mad, keep reading. www.stripes.com/veterans/202... /1

It was raining, but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm at the #NoKings rally in State College PA today! They are saying "hundreds" here, but this was the most people I have seen at a local rally!

Protest sign with a cartoon Uncle Sam holding a Revolutionary War flag that says "No Kings Since 1776" and "United Against Tyranny"
Protest sign with a cartoon Princess Leia on it, fist raised, that says "We are the Resistance".
Protest sign with a gold crown atop a yellow Trump hair swoosh. The crown says "Nope" and the sign says "No Faux-King Way".
A protest sign with a cartoon Statue of Liberty on it that reads "I'm With Her".
Signs done. Bag packed. Plans with buddies made. Rain gear at the ready. I'm good to go march for democracy! #NoKings

Most celebrities: can't be damned to even talk about defending trans people
David Tennant: turns a question that doesn't mention trans folks once into a clear, decisive message of support and explaining the true machine behind our current oppression
Protest sign that says 'they called him Sleepy Joe 'cause you could sleep peacefully at night knowing he wouldn't crash you 401k on purpose' and has a cartoon image of Joe Biden with a sign that says 'hands off, Jack'
Japanese markets hit their circuit breaker and US futures (something I last looked at on a Sunday night....like, never) are sinking to concerning lows. All after the horrendous end to last week's market. And a couple of people asked why THIS was the sign I chose to make for the Hands Off march.....
🙋♀️ Not able to travel, so I'll be at a small, local protest with a bunch of friends - with signs and loads of rain gear!! Get out there, folks! I know we are all sweet and salty, but no one will melt telling Prez Cheeto and his cronies #handsoff
Family includes everyone! ❤️
Sometimes we all need a bit of joy - it was THON weekend at Penn State University, which is the largest student run philanthropy in the world - 46 hours, no sit, no sleep dance marathon. This year they raised $17,737,040.93 for kids at the Penn State Health Children's Hospital. #ForTheKids thon.org
This country is in the midst of a fucking shitstorm.
And if you don't like those words or are for some reason too scared to repost this, then you're just not ready to do battle with Trump, MAGA and Musk.
We're taking this battle to the streets.

For 2025 I have set the following criteria for my decisions:
1. Does it bring joy?
2. Does it maintain my hard-earned balance?
Not saying the answers to those questions must be devoid of snark... 😉
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Happy New Year, Y'all!
This is a great podcast to get you ready for the new year. 5-star recommend!
A rainbow of color 🌈 and a hurricane 🌀 of swearing, if you would please! ❤️ And, while I'd love to hear you read it, I'd rather wait until you have had your time off to rest and relax. 🥰
THIS....
Great, as always, from @mluckovich.bsky.social!
File under a stopped watch is right twice a day - even if it isn't in the same time zone. Please...get rid of the electoral college. Show us how 'wrong we are.....
