What is my profile picture? Promontory Point, UT, which I was able to visit a few years. Replica trains marking the point where technology brought people together. We got this!

Just sitting here wondering if Soros will send me a retainer fee for planning to attend #nokings next weekend or if I will have to wait for the full payment after the event. 🤪

The Federal government shut down impacts more than the Federal employees who won’t get paid. No government contracts are being paid to private business. It is likely those businesses will need to lay off/furlough workers soon. That happened before. www.gao.gov/blog/snapsho...

They live saying people should have work requirements to keep tax payer benefits, they should have them as well. A girl can dream.

I notice they aren’t beating or shooting pepper bullets at him. Gosh, why could that be?

If GOP members of Congress were really “working in district” you would see coverage of them meeting with constituents.

I haven’t see one do this. They are sitting at home on their extended vacation, counting their salary and money from lobbyists and enjoying their tax payer funded health benefits.

Congress better hurry up and settle the shutdown before everyone figures out they’re nonessential personnel.

Good morning everyone.

I am thinking of beautiful places and people who are in Portland doing all they can resist today. I hope you enjoy your day.

Cannon Beach, Oregon.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Thanks!

Thankfully if I was put in that situation my medium sized hands would work, unlike somebody else. 🤪

And yet they are the only ones who do get paid. Members of Congress also still get their sneaky living allowance benefits.

Maya NH @1mayanh.bsky.social · 15h

I hadn’t heard they were getting paid. Thanks for info.

Thanks for your kind thoughts for my recovery.

I had a deeply terrifying experience earlier this week. So scary that I haven’t been able to write about until now.

I had to ride an escalator and stood frozen at the bottom thinking it might stop working and I would have to walk to the top. In the end, I did it.

Shivers still run down my spine.

Gaslighting to rewrite history. This one feels particularly gross. It has been made clear that the murderer is ultra MAGA and had a hit list of democratic lawmakers.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."
