At the library I found a bread cookbook printed early last century in Northern Africa.

My favorite recipe is for an Old Thyme Moroccan Roll.

BREAKING: Iowa's House has passed a bill to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars each year to pay families' private school costs, a top priority of Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds.

"The private school voucher bill passed 55-45, with nine Republicans joining every Democrat to oppose the bill. It's expected to win passage in Iowa's Senate tonight.

Roughly half of Iowa counties don't have any private schools."

This is completing what Betsy #DeVos couldn't do as SoE. It's a clearly labeled plank of the #NAR
'S 7 mountain dominion theology, that is being used as a framework to install #Christofascism.

"You count votes by listening." - Nancy Pelosi. This is how it is done. @SpeakerMcCarthy taking 15 votes in a clown show spectacle and then putting insurrectionist is charge is a disgrace to our Nation and our Democracy.

“The refusal of Kevin McCarthy to push back against George Santos is just one more sign that the Grand Old Party has no morals, stands for nothing, and will only reach its justifiable demise when voters decide they’ve really had enough. In the meantime, newly installed Congressman Santos is the GOP’s lying face.

@AlliFlowers Oh no, they *love* it. You know somebody is very serious about being in business when they cherry-pick one or two things they’ve heard from academics or in a TEDx talk and then beat them to death, usually bereft of any context.

It was an okay day for me and I’m grateful for it. Today was the worst day ever for 10 families. America is killing Americans. Adults and children. Unique, precious, irreplaceable people. It’s a burden we all carry till we do something about it. Being pro-gun reform doesn’t exonerate me from culpability. The carnage reflects our values as a nation. It’s disgraceful and we should all be ashamed. With each shooting, we should be ashamed.

If you don’t support gun reform, you’re not pro-life. It’s that simple.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Remember that time Brett Kavanaugh blamed Hillary Clinton for the mounting sexual assault allegations against him – before he was given a lifetime appointment to the illegitimate Supreme Court?

Was that before or after he lied under oath, contradicted his own testimony about Ford, and hid who is paying for his house, credit card debt and country club fees?

I have no respect for the rule of law in this country and I’m not alone.
