Well, to this Adams, “Kobach” sure sounds foreign to me….

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

Didn’t think! I meant fitness for office as we all know the ship “physical fitness”:sailed long ago…..

Ah, I figured it must have been necessary because why do something that raises basic fitness questions?

We need some of those inflated Dinosaur costumes too…

Dance party protests might be one of the best moves right now.

These make fascists look ridiculous, counter the "Portland is dangerous" narrative, and showcase joy and community at a time when those things are in short supply. Keep it up.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I feel the same way about degrees and qualifications. And even the best, medically or otherwise can be wrong/mistaken. Although lately? I’m not running to HHS for anything medical. 😉

My PhD may be in the humanities but I increasingly value science….( Oh God, does this mean I am confessing to being “Antifa?” 😀 The definition seems to shift daily… well call me “woke” too. Might as well be all in….)

Following his (nutty) theory….given how common circumcision is in the US wouldn’t it follow that the *majority* of men born since the 50s would be Autistic?

My late son was affected by his father’s exposure to Agent Orange. So medical treatment, surgery, etc was a constant in his youngest years. I know the value of nurses first hand. I don’t know why I was so hoping she survived so thanks for replying!

Gretchen A. Adams @gadams.bsky.social · 5d

fighting cosplayers? oh, the horror!

Gretchen A. Adams @gadams.bsky.social · 5d

I dearly hope she recovered. Hard enough as an adult to go through treatment but at her age it must have been terrible to endure and to watch.

does it have to be the hand? Seems that a location normally hidden by clothing would make more sense to forestall rumors and speculation.

Well if you were in the "war zone" within those 4 "cleared blocks" as you say, why weren't you looking at bombed out, ruined buildings? Oh, wait, because there is no "war zone" as anyone normal would describe it....

why were you punished???

Gretchen A. Adams @gadams.bsky.social · 8d

I just did right here in my living room. Come and get me if you dare....

Gretchen A. Adams @gadams.bsky.social · 8d

Sure but pay Johnson and congress laying around doing nothing....(yes, I know that is a different "pot of money").

Gretchen A. Adams @gadams.bsky.social · 8d

1. why would the "cartels" put a bounty on ICE when ICE only seems to ever go after workers/pedestrians? 2. Bounty? Then where are all the dead ICE members if a big pay-day is on offer. This all makes no sense at all....

Hmmmm....if you think it is "insurrection" of any kind against the government, Steve....then aren't you obligated to take action? Seems to me you would be.
