"I can confirm for you here, the President hasn't spent one second thinking about the color scheme of Air Force One...certainly we're aware of the proposal" Y'all remember Trump's crazy ass color scheme plan for AF1? HAHAHAHA I either don't remember this or I blocked it out, should I google?

I don’t know. I think the Bernie thing seems like a reach. He’s got his issues with women and what not. But in this instant I don’t see it. I think he’s got permanent resting bitch face. Some people aren’t so outward with their emotions and expressions. He seems to be like that. I will say, being outside in cold temperatures puts me in a bad mood. Jane was there and she always seems neutral to me. I don’t know. Like I get it. But I don’t see that here. For me the commentary wasn't at all about what Bernie did or didn't do, it was more about the general public's response to his resting bitchface/grumpy cold old man expression, if that makes sense. And I do think part of the explosion in popularity of this meme is more about our collective relief at having adults back in charge than it is about Bernie himself. It feels good to just be silly. Like I said previously, I definitely get a kick out of the memes, I have shared and enjoyed them like so many others. I'm also glad to see he's using this moment for good (donating proceeds from the shirt). But the perspective I posted above did make me stop and think.

HAHAHAHA I either don't remember this or I blocked it out, should I google? The official plan released by whine actually handles this (the Air Force? Maybe?) wasn't nearly as bad but Trump reportedly wanted an eagle and the flag painted on the plane.

I did a lesson today on Amanda Gorman’s inauguration poem, and oh my gawd I’m exhausted. Some of my classes were capable of talking poetry, current events, and politics respectfully, some were very much not and needed a ton of (not always successful) redirection and reframing. It was all very engaging and satisfying overall, but it kept me on my toes for hours straight and my brain is fried. That sounds like exhausting work, but I’m so damn proud to “know” you. Taking that on is good work. I know that lesson influenced and educated people. Thank you!

I really like this sentiment, its worked with healthcare so far.
Pic says "Get rid of the filibuster and pass everything: healthcare, childcare, family leave, minimum wage, etc. Pass it all. Make Republicans have to try and take those things away from people instead of letting Republicans stop those things from ever happening. You'll win every time."
yeah once people have it, they won't wanna give it up

Y’all know how I feel about Magic Grandpa, but I think over analyzing his viral moment is too much. I read something that said it was just a harkening back to when the internet was fun and not stressful “what did T do now” and that where I land.
And my favorite senior dog rescue just superimposed him outside their shelter and that’s my favorite.

Hello. Work is kicking my ass these past two weeks but I got to sit in on a meeting with our Gov/Lt. Gov today so that was cool.

I was actually just searching for the gif of the cabinet meeting, but... & for good measure to the remaining trumpers/whiners:

There's really none.
Really, the Senate spent 4 years stuffing the courts.
I guess it just seemed like the Senate was busy because of all the confirmations. Like I “knew” they weren’t getting shit done but I didn’t really KNOW it. It’s insane to look at how little legislation they actually accomplished. Now I’m going to go research the 2018-2020 Senate passed legislation compared to previous years. Be back in a bit. 😂 They also used budget reconciliation for some things like the tax cuts and that only requires 51 votes. There are many rules around doing this and you can only do it a couple of times in a Congressional year. They tried doing the ACA nuking via reconciliation and it was still a clusterfuck and one of my happiest moments. ETA: This was when they controlled the House and Senate. They pretty much stopped trying when they lost the House.

I have been sleeping like a baby the last couple of nights. Anyone else? I ate way too much buffalo chicken dip yesterday and was up all night with heartburn but I don't think that's what you mean.

I ate too much on Wednesday, but have actually slept really well the last two nights. Even my kitty only woke me once for petting and food; I wonder if I'm less tense and that's influencing her as well. I also got an update from my physician group indicating I'm in their 'shot bucket' for the vaccine - probably not happening anytime soon but I feel a little more secure about it. I also found myself not reaching for my phone dreading to see the morning news. This morning I checked weather and WandaVision reviews first LOL!

Thank you ❤️ I work in a very white, well-off district and I definitely hit some walls of the ultra-conservative alternative facts variety today. I’m hoping Amanda moved them a few inches towards really taking the time to listen to people they disagree with, even if it didn’t look like it in the moment. Fingers crossed I get through the weekend without any nasty parent emails 😅

Wait. Am I reading correctly that they were going to seal them in and turn on the natural gas? I know that sounds dumb, but I cannot believe it.
