Thank you for posting this with the link. Reading the article provided a surprising view of the evolution of teaching science in some states.

Good find ๐, tho' Soylent Corporation is fictional.
drackaina.bsky.social (@drackaina.bsky.social) reply parent
Soylent, comes in a variety of forms, check their website. My favorite is the chocolate complete protein. It was also a winner with young, very picky eaters and not too sweet. Best cold. Also a great plant based protein source as I have alpha-gal syndrome.

Fredericksburg VA with 1,500+, largest protest ever. Plus we should really count all the supportive honks from cars, that would at least triple the number!

Where will you be on June 14th? Your constituents, who worked hard to elect you will be at No Kings protests. Your staff can find the events & times. Come see us in Fredericksburg, we need to know you will stand with us against the fascists.

I keep looking for better coverage of the whole protest, not just sensational clips. And much of the LAPD bad behavior was not covered.

As a woman watching the video of that "arrest". It terrifies me every time. I see myself walking down the street, suddenly surrounded by masked people in regular clothes & no other identification, grabbing my phone. A mugging or kidnapping maybe, previously I would not have thought it was my govt!

The Dems are NOT just getting calls&anger from progressives! It is across the spectrum demand they stand up.Listened to Schumer this morning, he talked like those wanting the Dems to have courage were not intelligent enough to understand the dangers of a shutdown. He owns this with Musk & Trump.

Thank you! You have my vote this year. Any Dem who vote Yes should be primaried. We can only withstand the attack on democracy by standing strong & not bending to a bully.
drackaina.bsky.social (@drackaina.bsky.social) reply parent
I hope you and the rest of the Dems stand with the people who elected you and vote NAY on this terrible for America funding bill. Let Schumer & Fetterman take responsibility with the GOP for the disaster they are creating. Continue to stand strong.
drackaina.bsky.social (@drackaina.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you! Please keep letting people know it is a bad GOP bill & they are responsible for it & any shutdown. And when it doesn't pass, if Musk & Trump & Vought use it as an excuse to destroy more government, a(the message is:) it is Musk, Trump & Vought who are destroying the USA!
drackaina.bsky.social (@drackaina.bsky.social) reply parent
Seems to me the Dems are failing at the messaging (again)! "GOP have failed to put together a budget that will receive enough votes to keep the government open". NOT that Dems are in a pickle about whether to shut down the government.
drackaina.bsky.social (@drackaina.bsky.social) reply parent
Dems should take this opportunity to announce an opposition shadow government.Ranking members from both houses to be Shadow Secretaries for the positions. Dems should announce what their opposition bills would be for every GOP bill & budget put forward. Let us know what you would do instead.

This is the most embarrassing international behavior by a "world leader"! When will the GOP ever stand up to this disaster?
drackaina.bsky.social (@drackaina.bsky.social) reply parent
These will be very difficult times for many families. It will be those with less who will step up to provide food for the food banks & pack weekend backpacks for the kids to eat!

Will our federal workers receive unemployment benefits? Who is providing accurate numbers on this? Maybe to keep the peace we should have a universal income while AI does the work!

Thank you, please continue to vote NO on all these nominees. Also use ever tactic available to slow or stop the destruction of our safety, security & privacy.

I grew up with a narcissist for a parent. This text sounds just like them when they were completely immersed in a grandiose fantasy about themselves. Never forget 47 is a narcissist. The scarier people are those willing to be in his fantasy.

Thank you for being there tonight. All of these nominations want to destroy democracy. Stand strong and don't vote for any of them.

Thank you Senator for addressing the DOGE illegal activities which put national security & personal data at risk. 2 points-They claim data is "read only", this still allows eyes-on & export of data, hence illegal access. - If DOGE staff are using personal email for govt work, this is illegal.

Thank you for being there and speaking out against the illegal takeover of a government agency. As your constituent I am counting on you to protect our democracy.
drackaina.bsky.social (@drackaina.bsky.social) reply parent
As my Congressman I ask that you step up and stop the takeover of our agencies by the unqualified, anti-democratic crypto autocrats.

On hold now for over 10 mins to speak with Sen Warner's office. Local office eventually sent to voice mail, but that immediately hung up on me. Is it worth leaving vm?

Doesn't this leave for profit insurance in the mix. The ability to have affordable health care should not keep you tied to an employer or union.

I need a filter on my TV that filters out all mentions and images of 47, so I can get important news without him getting all the airtime! Just a break to know that there are other things in the world!

I reviewed many of the senators' question times & I think the women Dem Senators asked excellent questions. Hegseth didn't answer most of them & misogynisticly talked over them more than he did any of the males. GOP has already decided, but they won't own the consequences, they never do.

I agree & recently discovered that my school district has $300k school meal debt. The Dev follows the student & is expected to be paid before the graduate high school. I am trying to figure out ways to work with the community to alleviate the debt for all students.

As an elder I understand there is a time to step back and let people experience the consequences of their choices. It breaks my heart to think that may be the only way this country will change direction. Too many will die, too many are dying.
