OGjester, #Prediction: #Montana’s Senator #JonTester will lose this fall, and Republicans will take the Senate.
In each of his previous wins, the margin of victory was razor thin - he can’t afford to lose ANY votes... and yet, in a jaw-dropping and unforced error, there he is on the top ten list of politicians taking money from #AIPAC.

Toastie, "This July, I will turn 100 years old. I was born in 1924 in one of the last encampments and raised in Blacktail. When we were young girls, my sister, who was 10 at the time, and I, just 8 years old, attended a mission school for a year and a half."

Mallulady, @Toastie You look great. 😊
Toastie, @Mallulady That's not me in the picture but thanks yes i do 💅
makkhorn, Hi there, I’m #RyanBusse and I’m running to be the next Governor of Montana. I’m a father, a husband, a hunter, and a proud Montanan who wants our great state to be a place where all of our freedoms are protected.
Even Aldo's.
AnOldGuy, @makkhorn Why do they call themselves hunters? They use a gun. They shoot. They’re shooters.
JasonStiff, I'm taking Shylo for a check-up on Monday. Fasting for 4 to 6 hours? I better eat a big breakfast by 8AM, then. I'm going to get pretty hungry by the afternoon. Shylo watching from her warm Sunday sunbeam as a neighbor dog gets escorted to its outdoor litterbox...

ai6yr, A real study here on Safe Parking and homelessness:
"As vehicular homelessness increases in the United States, safe parking programs have proliferated.... JFS SPP has a 40% positive exit rate, with younger clients, women, veterans, and families more likely to exit into housing. Second, JFS SPP is preferred over shelters by persons who have used both services. This preference is especially important for older clients and clients with disabilities for whom safe parking is a safety net. Finally, increasing access to lots and services would benefit all clients, including families, seniors, and individuals with nontraditional schedules." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10511482.2024.2313511 #safeparking #homelessness
ai6yr, "We have identified three key findings from the research described here: (a) safe parking programs bolster upward cycles for those with the capacity to work, draw on social ties, or access housing assistance; (b) safe parking programs prevent downward spirals for those with fewer resources by acting as safety net, are preferred as a safety net by clients who have used both safe parking programs and emergency shelters over the latter, and provide greater access to resources than is possible through street outreach efforts; and (c) expanded access to lots, case management, and showers would benefit all clients of safe parking programs." #SafeParking #homelessness #unhoused #policy

RealJournalism, #Montana, #Oregon, #Maine, and #California passed new zoning laws making it easier for cities to build affordable housing. And #Minnesota passed the People Over Parking Act, which does away with regulations that require parking space, taking away space for housing. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2024/4/10/the-winds-are-changing-on-incremental-housing
JasonStiff, Is your adopted cat comfortable and exploring her new home? 🐈 Yeah... you could say that. 😄 Shylo is neither shy nor low... 😸

GottaLaff, “#Montana #GOP Senate candidate says he lied to ranger about gunshot wound in 2015
Tim Sheehy was cited for illegally discharging a weapon in a national park but says he made up the gunshot to cover up a bullet wound he received as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan that he never reported to superiors”
Gift: https://wapo.st/3JbuTO5
PandaChronicle, @GottaLaff
WTF?
Silent: old bullet wound under clothes
Not silent: discharging a gun in a national park.
🙄
Npars01, The words "Lying Republicans" get more and more common in the headlines don't they?
