Insurance only pays for 1 garment for life (an elastic garment!) He goes through about 7/year at the current cost of $422 each. Used to be around $150 back in the 70s.

The Senate added a provision that would force anyone trying to block the federal government in court to pay a massive upfront bond, no exceptions, no matter your income. Judges wouldn’t be allowed to lower or waive it, even if someone’s rights are being violated. https://bsky.app/profile/altnps.bsky.social/post/3lrvkz2z6yc2x npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady Wisconsin Circuit Judge Monica Isham is threatening to refuse to hold court because of the arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan. “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE and sent to a concentration camp, especially without due process, as BOTH of the constitutions we swore to support requires. https://www.wisconsinrightnow.com/wisconsin-judge-monica-isham-hannah-dugan-arrest/ npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady Another trump voter who is finding out: Upstate NY farmer shocked by Trump tariffs, mistakenly thought Canada would pay because trump said so https://www.syracuse.com/state/2025/04/upstate-ny-farmer-shocked-by-trump-tariffs-mistakenly-thought-canada-would-pay.html npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/114/372/716/169/427/177/original/5bd5efb36e867e1a.png npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady A whistleblower said he observed suspicious log-in attempts from an IP address in Russia using DOGE’s new accounts. https://www.thedailybeast.com/whistleblower-blames-musks-doge-goons-for-significant-cybersecurity-breach/ npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady New White House tip line to report immigrants bombarded with calls reporting Musk 😂 https://www.dailydot.com/debug/deport-elon-musk-ice/ npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady The Venezuelan military says it has raised its alert level following the discovery of an alleged U.S. plot to fabricate an incident at an ExxonMobil offshore platform in the contested waters between Venezuela and Guyana to justify an armed conflict. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/venezuela/article303665666.html npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady FFS!

What ICE and Homeland Security are doing is prime Gestapo actions. I'm appalled that the loss of Habeas Corpus hasn't been mainstream news npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady So I read the Executive Order about renaming Gulf of Mexico: "Secretary of the Interior shall rename as the “Gulf of America” the U.S. Continental Shelf area bounded on the northeast, north & northwest by the States of TX, LA, MS, AL & FL & extending to the seaward boundary with Mexico & Cuba in the area formerly named as the Gulf of Mexico." This map shows that this only renames the area of the continental shelf as shown in light blue on this map. Google & Apple could at least get this right! https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/114/028/617/543/562/853/original/d4c4a8e70d7f6783.jpg npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady Yikes!

All those white women who voted for GOP or those who sat out the election not wanting to vote for a black woman are about to learn that their rights are gone as well. 😡 npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady I have been saying enough, writing my congress critters & local government officials but only money has any power anymore. Protesting doesn't seem to matter at the scale it happens in the US. I have donated to ACLU and cancelled my subscription to WaPo, but more need to get involved.

He hasn't been doing the job & there needs to be an audit because scuttlebutt has it that money is being spent without documentation but not received by the schools. Standard Title federal grants are not being applied for - which are critical to school funding. All he does is spout about porn in school library books, fire teachers who disagree with him & slander superintendents npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/113/240/358/486/986/271/original/1d522959fb1e3ca3.png npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady Montana leaves Kamala Harris off the online absentee ballot!

I had to provide my birth certificate, marriage license & social security card which had my married name in order to get a passport. This would disenfranchise a majority of women in the US. npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/113/128/311/854/007/536/original/f9be1107c6188ff1.jpg npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/113/128/291/414/333/828/original/38bf2ee0aae2bc8e.jpg npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady @npub1qud…q43s 😉 https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/113/128/257/573/727/026/original/64403d7c21a4eab8.mp4 npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady So here in Oklahoma some of us are putting up blue dot signs in our yards (ie, a blue dot in a red state) the same as in Nebraska. https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/113/117/817/519/549/844/original/7691563ab5228838.jpg npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady @npub1j9x…aw7j Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris! https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/10/entertainment/taylor-swift-endorsement-kamala-harris/index.html npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady If we truly had a "well regulated" gun control (that well regulated part of the 2nd Amendment they leave out), we should: 1)require training 2)require licensing (like getting a driver's license) 3)require insurance for liability coverage or revoke license (free market insurance companies are good at identifying risk) 4)follow US Army/Marine rules where when an assault rifle or gun is not in use for training or war, that gun is always locked up - same for hunting. npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady https://static.toot.community/media_attachments/files/113/094/618/461/512/009/original/8b4b433a5a8d2da4.jpg npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady I dropped my WaPo subscription back in July and have been instead donating to 3 local independent nonprofit news sources - The Frontier, Oklahoma Voice and The Black Wall Street Times. npub1qna2usjxe76cgrkkd6zu2u37yvxqvdm0lq2yahpqe5qq7483nd0quz5hw6 The Zen Lady I guess I'm old school and prefer print news.
