stood firm when the winds of change were fiercest

Opposing change isn't progress, by definition

Im 33 and my dad used to play this when i was 6 playing in the backyard. I used to ask him "dad can you play the whistle song?" Im so happy to have found this song again. It takes me back to such simpler times. ❤

Pelosi was certainly firm about not ending insider trading in the legislature. Does that count?

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

She was more kneeling firm though

I caught that too, and now I'm wondering if that was an intentional dig that passed the filter

No Harriet Tubman, literally smh.

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

the only thing theyve overseen is regress, not progress
