Yes! "Flanagan would become the first female governor in Minnesota and the first Native American woman to serve as governor in the country." It's just all great news today. #HarrisWalz2024 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_Flanagan npub1amanwttwrw5kgps5776f6dnh8ca7qcvck7lrtf03mcd42fs7dclsjkfmsr Nonya Bidniss For those who need it, remember it's #Walz not Waltz. #HarrisWalz2024 https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/112/916/202/506/077/773/original/88807cb1851b2273.jpg npub1amanwttwrw5kgps5776f6dnh8ca7qcvck7lrtf03mcd42fs7dclsjkfmsr Nonya Bidniss Think I'll pin this one for a bit. #HarrisWalz2024 https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/112/915/789/988/393/002/original/5e3f64232fdbcaac.mp4 npub1amanwttwrw5kgps5776f6dnh8ca7qcvck7lrtf03mcd42fs7dclsjkfmsr Nonya Bidniss One thing about Tim #Walz is the crazy Republicans can't call him a "Dem elite" -- this guy spent 25 years enlisted in the Army Natl Guard. Enlisted, folks, not an officer. He's an average joe, a grunt. And I bet he's got a whole vocabulary of hilarious insults in his back pocket that only enlisted accumulate.

More than 5,500 children, including infants, were removed and up to 2,000 still have not been reunited as of March 2024. Some children stolen by Trump's thugs were U.S. citizens. None of the perpetrators, including Thomas Homan who was in charge of ICE during this atrocity, have been punished for this evil. npub1amanwttwrw5kgps5776f6dnh8ca7qcvck7lrtf03mcd42fs7dclsjkfmsr Nonya Bidniss A reminder: Call her VP Harris.

But the conservatives were sure they could get away with today’s ruling because they already got away with a different case two years ago: Dobbs v.

That's been a longstanding right wing project and Trump delivered the SCOTUS that did it. Trump's intent for this country is authoritarianism. His handlers designed this SCOTUS for a reason, the end of our system of government and a new right wing theocracy and an imperial executive. It's working. npub1amanwttwrw5kgps5776f6dnh8ca7qcvck7lrtf03mcd42fs7dclsjkfmsr Nonya Bidniss What next, Florida Man?

Nevertheless, I've taken basically all the standard tests found on https://embrace-autism.com/ and they all return scores that indicate 80-90% likely autistic. If I never get the diagnosis I'm satisfied that I'm almost certainly #ActuallyAutistc and this explains a hell of a lot in my life. Most of it not good, I'm afraid.

I'm not going to be using it, that's not my concern. It's that places that will use it will also have information about me that could potentially destroy my finances and identity.

It f'ing well better not. #privacy npub1amanwttwrw5kgps5776f6dnh8ca7qcvck7lrtf03mcd42fs7dclsjkfmsr Nonya Bidniss I'm confused as to why yesterday MSNBC had Crowdstrike & think tank guy Dmitri Alperovich (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitri_Alperovitch) on as a Chinese strategy expert wrt Taiwan reunification. There are hundreds of top retired DOD or State Dept personnel more qualified to discuss this topic. How did he end up in MSNBC's rotation of talking heads? Well, apparently he recently wrote a book it even though it doesn't seem to have been a top focus of his career.
