(aside from the never-ending unpacking task before me). I'm keeping up with the news, probably more than most people and definitely more than my neighbors. OTOH, I'm watching a lot of Food Network, too.
It's been a minute since I even looked at bluesky. 3 months, looks like. Since then I've moved to a different, redder, part of the state, but I couldn't be happier
What in the world?
Every time I move, I swear it will be the last time. One day I'll be right.
I always watch the SOTU (or the equivalent like tonight's speech). Doesn't matter who's in office. I think it's important to know what they say. I keep my sanity by watching it on #msnbc and hearing @maddow.msnbc.com and her team's commentary.
My goals on stage are always to 1. Stay on the beat. 2. Don't fall down. 3. Walk off the stage without assistance. I haven't always done all three.
🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy has long shown deep appreciation for the United States. He always said Thank you! And he was never disrespected. We know, you know too. Trump-Vance must watch this.
It looks like two districts, but they needed to avoid the liberals in Durham County....
Take a look at 13 - it's the ugliest I've seen. Of course, it's mine. No one knows where our rep's office is yet!
Congratulations to @abreezeclayton.bsky.social upon her decisive re-election as Chair of the @ncdemocrats.bsky.social! Continue leading the way!
Not good news. But the fight continues. NC is the canary in the coal mine here. Straight up voter repression.
Don't do it daily, though. (I had one with my dinner today, though.)
Didn't he do something to fuck it up last time he was president?
Some folks didn't get the halftime show. I got most of it while I was watching it, but the layers of meaning...
Created a started pack - mostly for me, but you can use it, too!

The devil is in the details. Here are some of the main ways that Governor @joshsteinnc.bsky.social's Helene recovery proposal differs from that of the Republican legislature.
North Carolina - where the legislators want to keep the AG from doing his job and the judge wants to selectively discard votes.
This is worth listening to. Yes. It is 4 hours long. But there are timestamps for each state so you can pick what you want to listen to. Of course I know how to say Appalachia. The correct way. 🍎at cha.
I think we can safely say that folks are paying attention. If you're looking for ways to take action to fight back against the Trump-Musk Coup, we've got you covered with call scripts, email tools, explainers, and toolkits over at @indivisible.org: indivisible.org/coup
Lots more coming this week.
Tillis has to go! Time to get to work, y'all!
I'm so emotional because they are finally meeting the moment. They need to keep the energy
