I probably should know this, considering I have family in the Arlington area (though I haven't seen them for years). Flipping off is kind of normal here, in a Ralph/Sam kind of way.

While something tells me the Post is now intentionally focusing only on those becoming violent.... I cannot support people who act like this, whether I agree with their politics or not.

I do unfortunately think you're right. It's frustrating that so many people think it's inconvenient to learn to treat people with consideration and respect regardless of background, but here we are.

Of course he will. The Ecology song was way too woke.

Many already have bought into it-especially the 'prosperity gospel' portion of it.

There's a woman at work who has an irrational hatred of one of our young coworkers. Why? Because she's young and thin, and gets more advanced assignments because she has education and took the time to become certified. Maybe she's jealous? Not sure exactly what to call this peeve....

LOL. Sadly I'll bet people think that's what a transgenic mouse is, though.

Adding on to this, as somebody who majored in ecology and is definitely an environmentalist (and left of center on many other issues): sometimes you have to mutter to yourself before taking a deep breath and voting for the candidate less likely to reverse the protections that are in place. And believe me you're right that it ain't MAGA.

Sounds about right!

They actually had to correct a statement that Musk was CEO, and not the founder of Tesla? I thought most people knew that, let alone a news site like NBC. And those of us who live in Boston think of Littleton as being pretty far away. 🙃

She probably thinks she's being clever.

I'll be at the one in Boston-it's about a 5 minute walk from my home.

Ten years ago I would have said it's impossible. Today I know better.

It's probably also tiring for them to torpedo countless federal jobs.

It's possible. Unless, of course, Denmark or Canada buys California...

Full disclosure: I'm one of the ones who would end up in Guantanamo, if that becomes a crime.

I also look forward to people saying things like "save some for John and me" instead of "save some for John and I."

Yes of course! Everyone knows that we women are nothing more than children who require a strong, firm hand from men like them who will lead by example and show us how to be good, morally upstanding wives and mothers.

LOL. I love Vermont, even if it's not really the hippie haven a lot of people make it out to be. And today, I love it even more.

I did a quick search on Bluesky and I'm seeing different things.... one is for March 14th, another for May 1-3rd. I'm seeing a few others, too. Hmmm, we're going to need to be more organized.

I do still think other Dems can copy her method of running in a primary, and have some success.

I recall seeing a call for this kind of strike recently. I'll let you know if I find it.

True, which believe it or not tells me that primarying in elections is important.

I recently read about AOC's first campaign for office-she went from door to door and interacted with constituents who had never been reached out to, and in some cases who had never voted. This was one reason she was successful against an incumbent who had never bothered to do this. Perhaps we should be encouraging more younger people to run for office at the lower levels, and getting their message across at those local levels also.

This is the first part of a few months of different boycotts-next up is a week of no Amazon. My hope is that it gets people to look for and buy from the smaller places, and to learn just how many brands are owned by a much larger company. It's going to take a lot of time to shift people's buying habits, but it's a good start.
