It is wild to me that rather than implementing mental health support and/or #guncontrol, its expected we do active shooter drills and watch training videos.

This brought to you by my work's annual requirement to watch the #ReadyHouston traumatizing video for "Run, Hide, Fight".

"look at all these fun projects." - one member

"You can't demean these quality of life projects by calling them "fun"." - another's response.

My city council met last week. Complaints were made regarding increased property taxes and utility costs.

In response, two members motioned to defund an emergency shelter, our only no barriers shelter. We get to as low as -40, before windchill during the winter.

#NewMexico just became the first state in the U.S. to offer #universalchildcare - to everyone.

This is what #prolife and #profamily looks like in action. If your believes are actively against #reproductivehealth you aren't pro-life, you're just pro-birth and pro-controlling-women.

My coworker was just told by her child's doctor to stop sending her child to daycare and to quit her job.

Somehow it's the woman's fault her child is sick.

I'm genuinely confused by the perception of Chicago, especially with the current push for the National Guard.

I just visited - it genuinely felt like a large midwestern town. It DID feel incredibly over policed. At one point I counted four separate cop cars in a fifteen minute period.

Representatives of North Dakota’s two largest universities say Trump administration efforts to curb federal spending have already cost the state millions in research funding — and their institutions expect to lose millions more in the coming years.

I go on FB once a month and use it for its marketplace/craigslist functions. While trying to identify what put me off about it, I counted how many posts I saw that were from someone I followed. 3/18 . Everything else was an ad or recommendation.

A win! A federal appeals court struck down Trump’s executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, ruling that it violated the U.S. Constitution. The decision upheld a lower court’s nationwide injunction and moves the contentious issue closer to potential review by the Supreme Court.

BIG: Rep. Jeffries has broken the record for the longest speech on the House floor fighting this betrayal by Republicans.

Democrats in the Senate and House have now held the floor in each chamber showing just how much Republicans are betraying America.

Yes!! It's so frustrating.

I'm all for supporting local artists, but there is literally a craft circuit. Farmers market should be stuff for edible things!

Kringle @gfcem.bsky.social · Jun 25

Hot take: Farmer's markets should exclusively be for edible or grown products.

I think there is room for a reoccurring craft and makers mart, but it's not at a farmer's market.
