Never

A whole 1/2 hr working to be heard & to hear over barking dogs. Very funny and a wonderful memory. Her son was on the same team as my girl at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Ctr. At practice or meets, she was always just there - nice, friendly, smiling (of course), just a mom, a parent like us. That was great

I sure know that I don't know everything! I like to listen & learn, even if we don't end up agreeing. I want to try to understand someone's position, know what has led them to that position. Even at 89 years old my mom was endlessly curious and always wanted to learn. I want to be that way too.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I visited the picket line with the nurses on strike from Henry Ford Genesys Hospital again this weekend. These health care heroes continue to fight for fair and safe workplaces. I’m going to keep fighting with them until they get it.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

I missed this yesterday: the AAU has come out against the compact. I am pleasantly surprised. I think it makes it pretty hard for any university to accept the deal now, with a possible exception of Texas. www.aau.edu/newsroom/pre...

We have significant concerns, however, about any compact or policy that could damage or depart from our nations competitive merit base system for research grant funding. That system has been the foundation for science and and innovation for decades. Since World War II that special partnership among the federal government, industry, and research universities has fueled tremendous growth in our economy and educated the next generation of highly skilled American workforce contributed to the health of our people and made our nation more safe and secure.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

A great thread. Thank you, @dieworkwear.bsky.social

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."
