Ugh...time to deactivate FB again. 🙄🙄🙄 I can't stand the people who talk out of both sides of their fucking mouth when it comes to covid and the vaccine. "Keep everything open! Low percent die!" But "don't get the vaccine! Side effects!". Pick a lane. And this is also coming from a travel agent who frequently goes to underdeveloped countries with people. I asked if she discourages prophylaxis and inoculation for travel, too. She said I was "trying to pick a fight". 🙄 Nope...pointing out how privileged it is to shit on scientists and healthcare providers who are doing their best. Oof. I live in Facebook la la land where I only surround myself with like minded people and block pretty much everyone else. It’s literally the definition of an echo chamber but I’m cool with it. I will find thoughtful alternative sources to my views other places. Though these days those are hard to find admittedly. same (most are hidden) but a few slip the cracks. I really need to just start over and incognito.

I know I'm really late, but has anyone else listened to Bag Man from Rachel Maddow? Its about Agnew and what was going on during his VP I listened to it twice a few years ago. It was startling.

He seems like a great pick and I'm happy to see someone from NC get it just because I like seeing qualified people from the South have a voice. It's also nice to see that he's 44 and still has a long career in front of him.

This is excellent. She's the one tribal leaders were campaigning for, correct?

I'm so happy about this. It's been rumored for a while she's been in the running but it feels good to see it's official. I've met her several times even though she's not my Rep and she's amazing.

Haaland as the Interior Sec is making me weepy. Well deserved, and it took fucking long enough.

not politics related but my youngest is 10 today.
She informed me on Monday of her career goals. They start with running next year for Student Body president and ending with overtaking a country.
I made that last part up but she now has a plan on building her executive office experience.
And because I'm a big AW here she is this morning.

I am so proud of her and this is just such an impactful choice.

And it continues the promise that the Cabinet would look more representative of how this country looks. Native Americans have been left out of the big picture conversation for far, far too long.

Ha, I was just coming here for this news. I love it! I teared up when I saw the news. I hope she can reverse much of the damage Trump has wrought. DS is learning about the Pueblos in social studies this week. It was really cool to be able to loop the importance of her nomination directly into his schoolwork.
