Nope! Together, we got this.

The Statue of Liberty has passed her torch to a crowd of millions of tiny people on the ground with signs that say “fight fascism” and “democracy not dictatorship.” It is the people’s turn to save this government.

Nah. No secrets, but I do on tortillas make sure the little things are explained. It took me years to figure out, because recipe writers assumed you knew what you were doing. I grew up in SoCA, but lived where tortillas weren't available. I was determined to learn how to make them.

Definitely! This makes about 8-10 tortillas. I'll break it into a couple of posts, in case you've never made them before. Here we go:

TORTILLAS (flour) 2C flour 1 teasp salt 1/2 teasp baking powder 1/4C shortening 3/4C warm water Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, like you're making a pie crust, until mix resembles corn meal in texture. Add warm water until mix is moistened....

Patastrophic @four-torpedoes.bsky.social

Turn out onto lightly floured board, and knead about five minutes until smooth. It will feel slightly moist. Pinch into eight (or more) balls. Use a little oil or shortening to coat each ball. Place in a plastic bag and let rest for at least 1/2 hour. That's the important step! ...

Patastrophic @four-torpedoes.bsky.social

One at a time, dust each ball with flour, flatten it with your hand, and roll out into a circle (also like how you'd roll out pie dough, only thinner). Flop into a hot skillet...it'll bubble, then flip. They cook pretty fast, so watch carefully. Stack on a plate, covering with a cloth...

I try to remember that about elected officials too. I refuse to believe people in DC aren't doing things to push back, but media can't or won't report all of it. We're also limited by our own access and time we can spent finding out what's going on.

That’s great. Which one? One of the things I’ve been doing has been listing politicians to support, and why. (And others who may need to be primaried.) So I’d love to hear who has inspired you to make that move.

Bobby Kearan @bobbykearan.com

An politician in a position of power can be Primaried by another person in the sake party as a way of getting them out in favor of the new politician. They run against the incumbent in their party's primary election to see who runs for the office in the next general election.

I appreciate trying, but that doesn't tell me what it means as a verb in this context. My Google-fu is failing me because I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with a primary number or primary school.

When an elected official is not representing the values of their party and District, someone else can run against them in the primary. Shorthand for that is “primarying them.” These primary fights can unseat elected officials who have grown disconnected from the people they serve 1/2
