Mrs. Betty Bowers' Bluesky post

With each passing day, I'm liking Jon Ossoff more and more. I think he may be the real deal.

I have to admit that as I watched it, I thought I was seeing something pointing enthusiastically to our future. If there’s a WH left after all this, I think that’s where he’s headed.

21. Why I DESPISE the title "Dept of Homeland Security"

Reply to red dog 1 (Original post)

Yes, we are a nation built on the ideas embodied in our constitution and body of law as we have progressed (and hopefully will continue to progress) in our journey toward a more perfect union.

The term Homeland is directly tied to the notion of being a "native" of a place -- the Homeland.

So "homeland defense" in America is defense, not of the citizenry, but of the native inhabitants?

When the white men in power who advocated for "Homeland" in the name of their new agency envisioned the faces of the "natives" their "homeland defense" would protect, I can guarantee they weren't seeing Native American faces. They were seeing White people.

They claimed the title "increased emphasis on homeland defense." Anyone who buys the notion that "increased emphasis on homeland defense'' sounds better or more descriptive than "increased emphasis on our nation's defense" has bought into the destructive, despicable lie that the United States is a "White Christian homeland."

My donation list:

Jon Ossoff (for GA US Senate)
Gina Hinojosa (for TX gov)
James Talarico (for TX US Senate)
Annie Andrews ( to beat Lindsay Graham)
Alex Vindman (for FL US Senate)
Chris Pappas (for NH US Senate)

And others who catch my eyes and ears.

I sure wish we could have publicly-funded elections in this country so we the people don’t have to contribute and fight against all this dark money. CITIZENS UNITED MUST GO!
