Just FYI.
I'm not on anyone's starter pack.
My favorite follows are real people behind small accounts that I come to know over time.

Here is a picture of Scout, Scout Finch's epic toe fluff.

Scout Finch rescued me three and a half years ago. I wanted an all white polydactyl cat. I found one in Georgia though they wouldn't ship it to the West Coast. So instead I found Scout who at the time went by Thumbs. Met a lovely cat rescuer who vetted me as worthy of adopting Scout.

Nearly half of Washington households qualify to receive financial aid through the WA Grant, which can be used for higher education, apprenticeships, or job training.

To access that money, all you have to do is fill out the FAFSA. studentaid.gov

Well, actually, they, they being the regime, do want 18 year olds. They will be tried and convicted while their overlords roam free to terrorize another day.

Besides the same 18 year old have access to ar15s so what's the difference besides a paycheck?

Also misleading is the ACA bases premiums on household income / # of dependens, so hubs on medicare must be making bank on retirement for these numbers to be remotely true.

JFC, use accurate examples.

Yes, I'm a constituent in WA4 who uses the exchange and has never voted for a republican.

Scout and T @scoutandt.bsky.social · 3h

Appreciate the sentiment though your example is an outlier and dubious at best.

64 here. My premium is 585 now, 1089 in January.

To go from 70 to 1900+ seems a bit misleading to say it nicely.

BTW, it's really time for you and patty to move along.

Yes, life long dem here in WA4.

You can make one amendment to the US constitution.

For me, it has to be the abolition of the Electoral College.

Would you do the same or a different amendment?

If anyone starts trying to instigate violence, everyone else should immediately sit down and point at the person so that they stand out. Film everything.
