Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Testing whether or not animals “kiss.”

“Don’t tell me what you value,” Joe Biden was fond of saying.

“Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value.”

The ever-expanding budget for bombing Iran makes one thing clear:

the US government doesn’t value its own citizens a bit.

Watching money that should go towards schools and infrastructure and healthcare being spent on death and destruction should make every US taxpayer apoplectic.

Operation Epic Fury indeed.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune plans to bring the so-called “SAVE America” Act up for a vote this week.

To support their resistance, Democratic senators will be looking for real stories from Americans whose right to vote would be affected. Your story could help them explain the real-world consequences of this bill while they are on the floor, and push back against Republican claims that it protects democracy.
