Has the attention span of a chipmunk on coffee. I'm just a liberal old broad living in Pennsyltucky so I tend to keep to myself. Pittsburgh's the "Big City" to where I'm from. Expect mostly likes and reposts with an occasional doodle or landscape photo.

MN Gov. Tim Walz: Former Secretary Noem should probably get used to spending more time in Minnesota because I have a pretty good feeling in the future she may be doing that because we have got to get accountability.

A little behind on posting, so here are some foggy views of #Pittsburgh from a few weeks ago. The fog was amazing how it just sat on the river, giving the city this eerie yet beautiful vibe. Eventually it engulfed the city, but not before I captured these.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Wow!

Pittsburgh police and Allegheny County Emergency Services are trying to find the source of antisemitic messages broadcast over emergency communication channels on Monday. A public safety spokesperson confirmed Nazi music and antisemitic messages started broadcasting at around 2 p.m.

Tonight the Allegheny County Council ordinance to limit cooperation with ICE passed out of committee with an affirmative recommendation by a 4-3 vote. The bill should be up for a full vote during our Tuesday, March 10th meeting.

Finally, this binary view of the race omits Malcolm Kenyatta, who ran an authentic, inclusive progressive campaign and would have been the first openly LGBTQ+ Black Senator. Instead of insisting "folks should've supported Lamb," why didn't you support him?

His story, like Lamb's, is ongoing. 9/

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie β€œclassic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

one thing that i find interesting about this is that established artists β€” like, people who are objectively good at it β€” all seem to stop producing interesting work once they turn right wing

After the full series is published, I will be looking into follow-up coverage on the facility. Specifically I would love to talk to former workers who quit in the past few years after 2021. Text my work phone # 412-629-3981 with any related tips. Thank you in advance for reading!!

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

With Hegseth saying: "the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic's models for every
LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.", they are establishing a precedent for the nationalization of companies that work in defense.

If the Democrats regain power, look out SpaceX.

Fact check: Trump makes false claims about the economy, elections and crime in State of the Union | CNN Politics President Donald Trump made numerous false or misleading claims in his State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

Let’s keep it real: this president promised to lower costs and deliver jobs, but he’s only delivered tax breaks to billionaires – all while gutting our healthcare. https://seiu.co/4s9IxWn

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

If you vote early and are able to do so, take the ballot straight to your clerk’s office. If you can’t, then mail at least one week before election day.
