“The Senate Budget resolution sets up the toxic combo of

Tax cuts tilted to the wealthy
🚨+Cuts to programs helping people afford food and health care
+Massive, regressive tariffs
=Transfer of wealth from low- and middle-income families to the wealthy”
-B Duke

The majority of Americans are harmed by this draconian budget. The resolution now goes to the House.

A quotation from Lincoln

We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not vanish from this earth.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1863-11-19), “Dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg [Gettysburg Address],” Pennsylvania

On the Senate's draconian #resolution:

Johnson: isn’t so sure it'll get thru the House next week but perhaps the week after. Whenever: HSE passes its RES, the 2 need to be melded together -lots of complications here.

If you are a HSE R from a nominally red dist., is it worth it for you to vote for the House GOP l'ship’s budget RES? Includes instructions for the HSE EGY/COM CMTE to find $880B in cuts -undoubtedly incl. #Medicaid & soc-safety net cuts.

Punchbowl News · 2/21/25 ☀️ AM:PRESENTED BY IN THIS EDITION The Senate passed its budget. Let’s talk about what that means for the House Punch Power Matrix The Vault: The longer wait

It feels good to shrug off toxic people. I need to do this more often. “If I can’t change the people around me, I change the people around me.”

I have a tendency to put up with a lot of b.s. because I’m pretty easy going, and always want to help people but. Nah. Some folks are just not nice and take advantage. I’m done. It’s 2025! I can’t change US politics, but it’s time to get rid of some toxic people in my life. I’m making a list…That’s the #resolution. 🎤🥳

Our #resolution this 'new year' is that in fact it began with the Winter #Solstice and runs through 13 Dark 🌑s to the next Winter Solstice. We will celebrate each dark and full Moon.

We intend to #ReclaimTime and the #patriarchal control of #time in the settler-colonial #Gregorian #calendar. This completely eliminates the #Moon which belongs to virtually every #Indigenous #cosmology. Cosmic time reckons with 🌍 🌙 and ☀️

Look Westerly on a bright #London horizon this evening for the 🌙 setting. Tomorrow late night lie with your feet NE and look up for the #Quadrantids (bring a blanket!)

I don't usually do new year resolutions. But, if there's something I want to try and do, I give myself 30-day challenges. That's how I managed to start my meditation practice over 25 years ago. Same thing re breathing exercises. Doing something 30 days in a row gives your brain the chance to form a habit. This way, I'm not doing a long-term commitment, allowing me to make sure that I'm not disappointed if something I don't like doesn't stick.

2025 GOALS
1. BE CHILL
Anxiety was killing me at the end of this year hurting my gut, and messing with my mind, muscles, and joints. I will prioritize a restful mind.

2. DEFEND MY PERSONAL TIME
Last year I got basically no writing done because I spent my personal time destressing from work. Put personal time on schedule, and don't budge.

3. CARE FOR MYSELF
Instead of trying to be thinner or prettier I will treat my body, mind, and soul as something I love, and take good care of it.

Y'all thinking about #NewYearsResolutions yet? Wanna share yours?

Mine is to drastically reduce our household's use of plastic and cardboard.

I've already replaced disposable plastic containers with reclaimed jars, bottles, thrifted glassware, and a few silicon storage bags.

In 2025 I'm going to learn to choose products with sustainable packaging (or none) while grocery shopping -- and reduce my annual online spend by 75%.

🤞🤞🤞
