Finally got to use “a strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others” on my 9yo nephew tonight for a needed lesson.
Shoutout to Sam Elliot & Ben for being the father figure I needed & for putting this phrase I haven’t heard in a decade in my brain mid-conversation.
Written in a righteous fury at how we’ve forgotten the ancient text: boys who like you are not mean to you.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social @kydemocrats.org answer for this
this is what yall have to say when the president comes to town = why you keep losing. This is useless & abstract, esp when Dems are failing at any accountability for ANYTHING. “Elect more of us” work to flip districts? provide candidates? support them/ideas? Provide tangible alternatives > BS
Why would I care about the literal price tag of war? What is $11 billion dollars to the United States? Who knows? Was that money ever going to be used to uplift people?
Decoding the incredible violence we're responsible for and recoding it as money is paving over the deaths those dollars paid for.
State, local policies on immigration enforcement targeted by US Senate Republicans

it’s 1 of their 3 plays but seeing reps cry that we need to limit social media to “protect the children” be the same people who support a pedophile, a war that results in 100s of dead kids in one day, & run ads promoting ice (esp its violence) on regular tv is devoid of humanity. Not enough words
my brother forgot to tell me happy international women’s day but before I got to scold him he presented me with a gift simply because he noticed I’d been having a really hard week

Happy #InternationalWomen’sDay ladies 💞
We celebrate, we mourn, we fight another day. On the shoulders of all the women who came before us & for all the girls who follow behind, we fight for a better world. #iwd #women #woman #womensday #female #womensrights #womensissues #womenkind #freedom #edu
We are living in a loop of #thg #catchingfire famous “what dress is she wearing? Executions. What’s the cake look like? Floggings.” speech. & it’s for the EXACT same reason.

I gen think it means now that ppl see it played out in detail in real time the warnings of “danger” carry explicit meaning. Too many saw it (& Dems presented him) as abstract. So “bad stuff” now has specificity like Epstein, Iran, etc. Ig they’re credited bc they’re the candidates that lost to him
100% accurate. Kindness doesn’t solve problems like this and pretending it does is an injustice to everyone, especially people in vulnerable situations like you/your husband. This is a nice blanket statement but doesn’t provide a real way to move forward

That's it.
Does anyone remember learning ab the Brooks-Sumner Affair in #US #history class? Where a congressman caned another over slavery? Do you think a senator breaking a #marines arm will be a new thing they teach about #congress & #politics? Or will this be a footnote in a gross violation of #rights??
I NEED #djo to make a music video and I need him to let me be the art director bc I have a vision
To sum it up, our elected officials are either cowards, pussyfoot answers, or downright supportive of unchecked presidential war powers.
This story is sad as hell for #ky. This is not a #peoples #government when you face loud opposition, bring in cops to force them out, and then force a vote without clear plans. This spells out more harm for an already suffering region. This is what you get when #corporations run #government

It’s open season on KY ratepayers’ pocketbooks, while their voices are being silenced.

As a KY voter, happy to see what Andy is doing for the state. In his clear aims at President, I need to see a lot more strong stances about what’s happening in the world - and not after many others have said it & polling proves popularity.
Respect that fully. I dislike Newsom & seems just to get worse. I believe ppl give Beshear a little too much credit tho. I’m from KY & voted for him multiple times but have my doubts ab his presidential tenacity. Hopefully we’ll be given a candidate worth supporting by then. Thanks for the answer!

"Maybe this is a good idea but Congress should vote to approve it" is, in this circumstance, an inferior position to "This is an absolutely ludicrous idea and Congress should have to vote on it so we can say hell no."
