Today is local Election Day and I am very nervous for the school committee results. Ours is tomorrow and I'm also anxious about it. 🤞 Yep, yep. I have concerns. Three of those running have ties to law enforcement. One is a known Covid denier. A couple are older Boomers. There are two I'm happy to vote for. But there are three open seats.

Why is my twitter now showing a dog instead of a bird?! What is happening?? That's the Dogecoin icon, which Elon is invested in so I guess twitter is now Doge-something? Idk. Stupid musk bs as per usual. If that's not illegal it really should be

I get notifications for Twitter for people I don't follow (like George Conway) and it's all basically a shit show at this point

Country music, I know, I know, but Kelsea Ballerini performed at the CMT Awards alongside drag queens. More of this energy from Nashville please There’s more than a few that are fighting the good fight. They recently did a cool pride related concert in Nashville and I made note of who was there. My favorite country singer, Maren Morris, is very outspoken and has paid the price with boycotts and threats. Nothing like what The Chicks faced back in the day, but still a lot of backlash. And believe it or not, there are some out country singers now. I went to this event and it was awesome. It was hosted by some of our local drag legends and had a fantastic mix of small and big name musicians playing. Our mayor came and made a speech fully supporting the community and BLASTING the Governor, it was delightful.

The best explanation i saw, which is only gossip is that it was intended to be an April's fools joke but there aren't enough employees to roll it out in time or retract it now that it's dumb. Honestly I'm 50/50 between that and market manipulation.

Who here is in Tennessee? Y’all the kids are amazing I can’t believe they’re expelling state MoC for standing up against gun violence. ( I mean I live in Idaho so I can).

And not for nothing, this seems like a pretty big gamble the TN leg is taking if they (a body of the state) are going to fire people from their jobs (with the state) for exercising their 1A rights...like, I don't think it matters if it's a right to work since they were elected to serve and expulsion for attending a protest doesn't seem like the most protected cause even under federalism rules.
Lawyers, what say you?

Lawyers, what say you? Wtf to this TN thing. I absolutely agree that there’s a lot of 1A questions to be answered if this goes through.

There are two I'm happy to vote for. But there are three open seats. My candidate won!! I am so relieved! So disheartened by the extremely low turn out though. There were important positions on the ballot and some very large expensive projects on the horizon 🤷🏻♀️ Good luck tomorrow!

Why is no one covering what’s going on in TN?! I can only find stuff of TikTok.

I’ll remind my family to do so, but maybe I’ll skip reminding some. Sending positive vibes to my favorite state.

I don't even know what to say about TN. It gives me chills. Things like that seem like how dystopian franchises start. I wish the fucking NRA had never been established. I wish 98% of guns were too expensive even for well off people to buy. Like $10k for something that held more than 5 bullets. These people are batshit and I'm pretty fucking nervous about next year's election. The thought of having everything JB has done undone just like TFG did after Obama, possibly to an even worse degree, is devastating. They thought they had 2020 in the bag and were cocky. Now all of them are just completely unhinged and it feels close to everything imploding. They will do whatever they have to to win next year and it's fucking scary.

Four dudes. No women. Shocking. One woman. It would've been terrible luck to send only men up in a ship named Artemis. 😉 Whew, ok. I'm glad I didn't catch that. Ignore me, lol.

Lawyers, what say you? I mean, if they're expelled for attending a peaceful protest, the every elected official who took part in J6 should be expelled too. And there were elected officials there. I mean, it's only fair. Oh right, hypocrisy. My bad.
