Proud NM native. I refuse to let small, mean-spirited people frighten me. Proud to be anti-fascist. Reading is resistance. It's artificial intelligence.

My social media history has already doomed me, so I might as well keep going (Point! Laugh! Ridicule!). I'm glad I live in a blue state, but there's still a better than zero chance I'll end up in jail or shot down in the streets. (Wish I was joking.)

I'll be calling. I called my @SenatorHeinrich today before I learned he was a co-sponsor. Extremely disappointed, if he continues with this, I hope to support a qualified opponent in the next primary.
🚨 UPDATE: BAAJA just advanced in the Senate, 73-25. It is NOT over. The final Senate vote is next, and nobody knows when that is. Keep the pressure on. This is the way to effect change! This bill locks in terrible permits on our public lands, and the wildlife that depends on those lands pays for it. The president of the National Congress of American Indians says, "Tribal sovereignty continues to be diminished in this bill." Call now. Tell your members of Congress to vote NO, especially @SenatorHeinrich and @SenWhitehouse #DemsUnited Their direct lines are in the👇

He deserves it, but, man,this is pitiful. They just roll him back in the closet until he's needed again. How can his family (where's his wife?) allow this?
11/09/26 – Senator Mitch McConnell heads home after voting on the Senate floor this evening.

At the vet today. "It'd be really weird, but about the only way your indoor cat could get rabies is if a bat gets in the house and bites her." Me: " We're safe, Stephen Miller will never be in my house." We laughed.

Yo, @Apple @AppleSupport Why did you A. charge me for a free trial of Apple TV?; B. When I caught you, only refunded a pro-rated amount? I cancelled BEFORE the 7 day free trial was over. It's not so much the $ as the priniciple. Tacky, tacky, tacky.

This me! There are so many miracles in the mundane.
For the record, you’re never too old to be excited when you find a cool rock, when it’s spaghetti night, when the book you’re reading has illustrations, or when you see a neato tree.

I just cannot understand why @SenatorHeinrich did this. He needs to reverse course ASAP.
Federal legislators are set to begin voting on a large, bipartisan energy and development package drawing controversy for its proposed changes to bedrock environmental policies. sfnm.co/4ixv20R

Heh. I picked up the phone to call @SenatorHeinrich about the permitting bill and after I typed 202 it pulled up Collins. My giggle for the day.

Makes sense. And I can well imagine what she's saying in private.
They're keeping that lady hidden in Mississippi because they're scared about what she might say in public when losing to a Black man.

just called Heinrich who I believe is a supporter of the bill. (Can't imagine why.)
Headed back to DC early and already the madness has begun. First stop—a rally standing in solidarity with Tribal Leaders opposing a permitting deal scheduled for a vote in the Senate TODAY at 5:30 PM. This is a bill that has had no public process, no hearings, and which Trump bragged himself last night he’d use to push through pipelines and data centers. Especially in light of last week’s historic election, we’re asking the Senate to take a beat. Here’s why ⬇️

I love they're going through this ridiculous charade. That meeting should be interesting. White is a despicable man but he must be sweating how to get out of this without upsetting the toddler.
Trump on Dana White becoming press secretary: "Dana loves the idea ... of course I was kidding, but Dana is actually coming tomorrow."

We're gonna go through some rough times over the next two years, but we won't have to look at the smarmy little twat Mike Johnson. So there's that. Onward!

This makes sense. Heh.
Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol

This. My cat will eat ANYTHING (and then usually throw it up.) When I had two, I had to literally eat cereal standing up in the middle of the room.
I saw people suggesting if you let your cat sniff your food they'll leave you alone because they're mostly just curious and don't actually want it. Well I'm here to tell you that YOU LIED and now I think some of you are actually cats who learned how to post on the internet because my bagel has been stolen.😭

ICYMI @GuntherEagleman There's more than this, but I gotta run to my "Hate America Radical Islamist/Atheist cat lady meeting!
Dude, midterms was our Christmas and Thanksgiving. Now run along before we sex-change you, wrap you in a burka and force you to eat tofu dogs. P.S. Don't forget you have an abortion every Tuesday, then you're teaching illegals how to vote, and January is Jihad awareness month.

This. Even if you're MAGA. I may despise you, but y'all are fellow humans.
I’m perfectly fine with my child-free taxes contributing to your children’s education, meals, and healthcare. I’m also happy to help fund your mother’s cancer treatment and your cousin’s insulin. That’s what a functioning society should look like. You’re welcome.

Okay, this is funny. And what makes it really funny is his opponent thought this was a gotcha. (Sadly, not quite up/down to the naked photos of Melania...)
It can’t always be Paris or Milan, someone’s gotta hold it down in Des Moines, Iowa

If you've lived in PA and know Lancaster County you can appreciate how HUGE this is. And once again note votes matter.
One of my favorite Blue flips was just called yesterday. Brad Chambers defeated Pennsylvania State House Rep Brett Miller by 40 votes. That's right; a young man with dreadlocks won in rural Lancaster County. Amazing.

Thanks. I'd seen this elsewhere and couldn't remember the details. Apparently her g-grandfather asked for a receipt and was lynched.
Her great-grandfather was lynched at 20. 80 years later, she made history on Michigan’s Supreme Court. Black Excellence. 🖤

Yep. And BY ALL MEANS, have him on television even more! He's such an attractive, charismatic guy!
Stephen Miller's American Gestapo cost Republicans the midterms election. Kiss 2028 goodbye as well MAGA. I didn’t think Dems could receive even better news after the blue tsunami.

More good news from the South. Another (truly) good ol' boy...Oh my...
Republican Jennifer Balkcom voted for North Carolina's 12-week abortion ban, then wrote that abortion is "never medically necessary," even to save the mother's life. Her constituents decided she wasn't necessary. Congratulations, Congressman-Elect Jamie Ager.
