We need more of this!

When something breaks, most of us replace it. At this Brooklyn repair cafe, volunteers are helping neighbors fix everything from lamps and jeans to vintage fans and old smartwatches for free. The events are part of a growing global movement to reduce waste, save money and bring back repair skills that many people say have been lost.

@musikgalaxy @FreddyLA7 I'm a life-long Texan and I second this! We love the Hill Country for so many reasons, including a tremendous German influence and great Texas BBQ. Welcome!

Senate Republicans could fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard today. All they have to do is agree to our request to fund these agencies immediately while we negotiate a deal on ICE and Border Patrol.

@BillKristol Love this and I have to repost. Honestly, it brings tears.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

We live in challenging times. But these are also clarifying times, where the choices are clear, and we have examples to admire.

All honor to the Epstein survivors.

All honor to the people of Minneapolis.

All honor to the people of Ukraine.

Everything Trump does—every shot fired at an unarmed mother, every starving baby denied USAID nutrition, every racist tweet about the Obamas—was aided and abetted by every Trump voter.

Trump never disguised himself.

Trump has never surprised us & he never will.

If we break our alliances, we are smaller and weaker. If we break them for pride and power and greed, then we don’t just break an alliance, we break our own character. We diminish ourselves in every way that matters, and no amount of newly sovereign frozen ground can obscure our national shame. https://t.co/AsDNpKwtRu

@garonnevik Really like the sweater. Also love those curtains!

[Leann Weatherly @Leann56]

@JaneotN I do and then it goes in the recycle bin!

@ChrisKindaReads I told you!

[Leann Weatherly @Leann56]

@ChrisKindaReads It has one of the most evil characters in all of literature. Great book.

@MerriamWebster I do it but I was a French teacher for many years. Can't seem to break the habit. 😊

@garonnevik The cross stitch is lovely.

You know what the really sick and disturbing part of all this is? @GregAbbott_TX will get re-elected. Ted Cruz will get re-elected. Because the majority of the people in Texas vote to hurt themselves and their neighbors in every election. They vote for failure and self-harm.

[Leann Weatherly @Leann56]

@SocietyQueen999 Yes they are! 🤣

Never before in the Nation’s almost 250 year history has America’s present and future depended more on the free press than it does today.

Russian dissident Alexei Navalny: “A huge number of people are either forced to act like cowards or act like cowards without being forced or even asked to. They just look the other way and try to ignore what is happening.”

“For all of us, the moment will come when we will realize that none of the things we achieved by looking the other way and keeping quiet mattered. The only moments that matter in life are the moments when we’re doing the right thing. When we don’t have to look the other way, when we can raise our eyes from the floor and look each other in the eye. Nothing else matters.”
