Hi, all, and happy Sunday! Here’s your list of everything good I could find that happened THIS week! Enjoy! You’ve earned a moment to bask in the wins! I have, as usual, popped an 🪓 next to every item folks like you helped make happen, or that got done by lawmakers we helped elect.
I’m so here for that video at the end. That 21-year-old knows how to do this. Bravo. I, on the other hand, finally completely cut whatever ties were left (faint, faded threads, if that) with the last trumpet in my life. That means, after his latest shitty comment on that black-and-white photo of Joe and Kamala, which I posted on FB, I completely blocked him—everywhere. I just have no energy to try to win these people over anymore. My last effort was to send him one of HCR’s posts. Along with information about who she is. He says he’s not “well read.” In the email, I invited him to be better read. His response was, “why didn’t she include (insert bullshit about open borders, inflation, Sleepy Joe, etc). I wanted to say, “because those things are lies.” Thank the universe for you, Jess. National that you are. :)
This list is wonderful! I feel encouraged reading it. I'm going to re-read again this week to remind myself of the good things that are happening all over the country.
LOVE that video. Yes, if only it were always so easy. But it's possible . . . and a great reminder that not everyone in a MAGA hat is a bad guy. We need to keep our eyes wide open, yet not give into the temptation to demonize the "other" side the way "they" literally demonize anyone who doesn't fall in line with their assumptions.
Jessica! Thanks so much for the info about the NPVIC (aka The Compact)! I'd never heard of this, had no idea, but feel like it should be bigger news. Seems like if a couple more states join in, then it's lights-out for the Big Orange Dummy? So proud that my home state of Michigan appears to be next in line to help eliminate the idiotic Electoral College for good...
