I'm me. She/Her. Taken. Mother. Growth Consultant. Veteran. I acknowledge my negative emotions, create space between them and me, and then navigate to more positive pathways in the midst of life struggle. Ask me how you can too.

Sounds like a great chance for AP to start interviewing regular citizens and writing articles on what we really want and how we think we can get it... ignore the swamp, it'll drive them bonkers

You should focus on what you can accomplish right now, that action will do more for your ballot numbers than "campaigning" will.

Vic @lifeisavic.bsky.social · Feb 20

I'm not all the way through it yet, but Ken said that Dems "can't stop campaigning" and that bugs me. You should totally stop campaigning. Stay actively engaged in your communities, serving them, listening to them, and not for the purpose of campaigning to win your next election.

Maybe but maybe not. Most of the "receipts" on the doge website show language from the contracts that always stipulates the gov can cancel the contract for convenience. This is standard in every contract I've seen from DOD to USACE in my career.

I'm questioning of the numbers are accurate though.

And so I'm tired, because I'm winning (inside my head). #myemotionsdontownme #fuckfascism #tryingissucceeding #dotherightthing #positiveintelligence #dontgiveup #resist

I'm so tired. It's okay. The chaos, the intentional triggering of our fear, our fight or flight. This response is normal. For once in 15 years, this significant response is normal, and I get to spend every moment using the things I've learned since Iraq to not let the enemy own me. #resist

YES! Everyone needs to stop saying "passed a law". He SIGNED AN EO. These are not laws. They're directives for how the administrations under the Executive Branch should administer. They are not laws.

Your link is broken. To add: 988 is the national crisis/suicide line open to all people. Veterans can press 1 to be directed to someone specializing in veteran care. This line however is for EVERYONE!

I also screamed like that when i read this tweet. I think it broke part of me to read this level of willful stupidity

Might be your nicest mushroom yet! Thank you for sharing!

I thought the Right proved you're not allowed to delete anything with the whole Hillary Clinton debacle...

Is this going to go the way of the chicken? Mass euthanasia?

Why the spoon? Cuz you're not forking around?

Vic @lifeisavic.bsky.social · Feb 4

That's great! And finally something valuable out of Hawley... some bipartisan action!

Vic @lifeisavic.bsky.social · Feb 4

I didn't think Memo's had this kind of power 🤣 but it does explain how the jerks keep getting in buildings.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Do you ever encounter mean mushrooms? Or are all mushrooms always nice?

But they weren't fired... because they can only be fired if they fail to meet certain parameters... so this is just another empty thread to get ppl to take the "delayed resignation " scam.

Vic @lifeisavic.bsky.social · Feb 1

Please clarify these numbers reflect the last year + of cases in the area. They did not all occur suddenly this past month.

Vic @lifeisavic.bsky.social · Feb 1

Came to say this. We need to be very careful making this seem like it's "sudden". @altcdc.bsky.social please ensure your messaging doesn't incite the wrong emotions by making this seem emergent. Stay discerning and clear.
