Over on TikTok, there has been a new series of posts.
It started when some woman posted:
Doesn’t America care about Nebraska?
The problem for Nebraska is two-fold.
Problem 1: They have gaping hole in their state budget, because they passed tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
They were able to fill the hole with the COVID money, but now that money has run out, and the hole is still there.
Problem 2: At least 60% of the workforce for Agriculture is immigrants. Undocumented.
Yet, the Non-blue dot part of Nebraska voted overwhelmingly for the ‘ROUND THEM UP AND SHIP THEM OUT’ CANDIDATE.
When those workers saw how Nebraska voted, they said, ‘ We’re not going to be sitting ducks for when ICE comes’, and they chucked up the deuces.
So now, Agriculture in Nebraska has no work force. Nebraska itself doesn’t have the tax dollars that work force contributed to Nebraska. And, they are saying that Nebraska is two quarters away from going under.
And, this is the point where the lady is like,
” Doesn’t America care about Nebraska?”
My response has been similar to others.
I cared about Nebraska when I voted for Kamala Harris on November 5th. That was my display of support for Nebraska.
Why aren’t you asking why NEBRASKA DIDN’T CARE FOR NEBRASKA?
THEY, more than anyone, KNEW WHO WORKED FOR THEM.
And yet, they voted for that man.
Are they mad because the workers didn’t stick around so that they could enjoy the pain of watching them being rounded up by ICE?
Is that why they’re mad? Because the workers exercised self-agency and GTFO Nebraska? How dare ‘those people’ deny them the joy of being entertained by the cruelty of ICE.
Who did they think were actually going to do those jobs?
They voted for cruelty, but, expect empathy towards them when they have to face the consequences of their own actions?
Really?
Seriously?
Yeah….
WHO.DID THE NEBRASKA FARMERS THINK WERE GOING TO WORK THEIR FARMS

They should have read Project 2025. It’s clear that the object is for those family farms to go bankrupt and be bought by Big Ag for pennies on the dollar when they go up for auction. It was there..IN BLACK AND WHITE. All they had to do is read to understand that was the plan all along.
Yet…Harris voters like myself are supposed to have empathy for those who reveled in the cruelty that would be caused by their vote.
No, I don’t think so.
Is anyone else following the story of Garbanzo the cat on TikTok?
backstory:
woman fosters a kitty named Garbanzo.
Garbanzo is adopted. Owner bring in boyfriend who abuses Garbanzo.
Owner then dumps Garbanzo at a shelter.
Garbanzo still has the chip in from the woman who fostered her. They call her, and ask her if she’ll take Garbanzo, She says yes.
To see the gradual changes in Garbanzo.
from obviously abused cat, to where she slowly is trusting this woman…some of the videos leave me in tears.

SCOOP –> Trump’s State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

The problem is Trump and Musk are already shutting down the government! USAID shut down. Dept of ED shut down. The VA shut down.
We have to do something to fight back for the American people! #VoteNO

When I see folks lambasting Schumer for agreeing to vote FOR the CR, I immediately know they do not know what is actually going on.
Should the CR pass: We know what they want to do within the government. We know the bills, the language, everything. We would have a legal backstop of sorts, should Don exceed the expanded powers the CR gives him. There is legal precedent.
Should the government remain in a shutdown situation for months: Don can declare emergency after emergency which would expand his powers in any way he wants and in ways that have not been legally tested at all. This would give DOGE carte blanche to furlough and lay off hundreds of thousands of gov employees, replace them with Maga loyalists from the Heritage/P25 database, create new EO’s that would not be legally tested, impair the federal court system for everyone, and Don would get away with (legally) impoundment.
There is no good solution. You either choose the path in which you have some legal recourse, some guardrails (or at least what the actual expansion of powers entails, in writing), and some idea what will happen. Then one can fight it all step by step. OR, you choose to give Don near-total power with no clue what he will do or when.
So yes, when I see ANYONE lambast Schumer, who is nowhere near a fave of mine, I know there is a lack of understanding of what is at stake and what can happen should the government shutdown with Don in office.
Schumer is choosing the devil he knows, versus the devil he doesn’t. It’s a horrible choice and a horrible situation – the lesser of two terrible evils.

NEW: Alabama mother of two and a Maryland-based organization of parents files suit asking judge to order US Education Dept to restore its civil rights division’s investigations of racial discrimination in public education
Suit says Trump Admin. “has abdicated its responsibility to enforce civil rights protections, leaving students who should be able to trust and rely on their government to protect and defend their rights to instead endure discriminatory and unsafe learning environments without recourse”

“The administration has tried to dress up Khalil’s arrest as motivated by national security concerns, but their statements about his alleged transgressions show it’s far more about suppressing speech.” https://t.co/Kxd1BQ5UOj

Bought my corned beef, cabbage and red potatoes.
Will cook the corned beef overnight in the crockpot.
Will have my St. Patrick’s Day meal tomorrow.
I don’t even know the context, but I love it
