@coopererica.bsky.social - Giving Blue Sky a try

@NYPoliticalMom OH... I think you will love it. Been thinking on doing a rewatch - if you feel the need to discuss, I have seen every episode (years ago) and could easily refresh my memory! Pro-tip - watch with the captions on. Sometimes the dialogue is detailed & intense, and it helps!

Yes, I'm binge-ing The West Wing. No, I've never watched it. Yes, I deserve all the shit y'all are about to give me.

Just a reminder: Vice President Kamala Harris was the Chair of the National Space Council. 🚀

Some in DC might disagree, but spending time with your kids and family is actually a good thing.

Trump's VA is cutting thousands of unfilled roles. They're trying to say it doesn't matter, but that's not what I hear from local veterans. And now we're fighting a war with NO justification and NO plan for the veterans who come home. No war with Iran. Staff the VA.

The dress that would become one of the most photographed in American history was created by a woman most people were never meant to know. When Ann Lowe was commissioned to design the wedding gown for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, she was already one of the most skilled couture designers in New York. An African American designer in a segregated industry, she had spent years building a reputation among the elite—while being denied the recognition her work deserved. But just ten days before the wedding, disaster struck. A pipe burst in her studio. Water rushed through the room, destroying nearly every gown she had spent weeks hand-sewing—not just Jackie’s, but the dresses for the entire bridal party. Silk ruined. Lace flattened. Hours of invisible labor erased overnight. There was no time to start over. So Ann Lowe did something almost unthinkable. She worked day and night, remaking every single dress from scratch. No assistants could fix what required her hands. No shortcuts could recreate that level of detail. Stitch by stitch, she rebuilt an entire wedding wardrobe under crushing pressure. She delivered the gowns on time. Perfect. But when the press asked who designed the dress, her name wasn’t celebrated. It wasn’t even properly said. She was described simply as “a colored dressmaker.” No mention of the flood. No mention of the loss she absorbed herself. No mention that she was paid far less than the work demanded—and that the disaster nearly financially ruined her. For decades, the truth stayed buried beneath the fabric of that moment. But the dress never changed. It still stands as one of the most iconic wedding gowns in history—intricate, deliberate, unforgettable. And now, finally, so does the African American woman who made it. © WomennIn World History #archaeohistories

@itsjustkim1 @michelle_byoung Nah, you did. It was a Charles and Andrew reference....

@EricaCooper @michelle_byoung And you missed the point entirely.

A single man flirted with a single woman. Film at 11…

@IAmTheVisual_ Let me guess... mainly men.

@EricaCooper Then I have to repeat myself and it usually clicks for most. Maybe 20% of the time they aren’t actually experts and their inability to answer my question makes it evident

It’s always so bizarre to me when I ask someone a question related to their “specialty” and they struggle to answer. I used to run into this every once in a while but it’s a regular occurrence over the past couple of yrs.

Chag Sameach. Happy #Passover to the #SouthSound and those who celebrate across our nation.

@BasedPoliticsUS @BenStiller "Excuse" - why did he owe you an answer? Are you a Nimoy? He was buried according to Jewish tradition - his funeral was held 3 days after death. It is understood that not everyone can make that time frame, & there are other ways to mourn in the Jewish tradition. How intrusive.

@BenStiller Ben, he blocked me for addressing his not going to Leonard Nimoy's funeral. I never bought his excuse. And here's Stewie, doing Shatner, doing Rocket Man: youtube.com/watch?v=xO0klA…

With everything going on, the last thing you need is the encyclopedia trying to fool you, so we just hope you have a nice day.

The 14th Amendment could not be more clear: if you are born in America, you are a U.S. citizen. Doesn't matter what Trump thinks. He can't rewrite our Constitution on his own.

.@ChefJoseAndres: I am a cook and I know there is no America without immigrants. There is no food at our table without immigrants. There is no farm without immigrants. There are no kitchens without immigrants.

JD Vance's upcoming book on his conversion to Catholicism uses a Methodist church on the cover.

Only an APRIL FOOL would think it is a good idea to trash the Court he is appearing before, then tick them off by attending the argument.

Agreed. Bernie has skeletons in his closet spanning decades, from the essay he wrote in the 70s about how women enjoy being raped, to his 2016 campaign where staffers said they experienced sexism and unfair pay. This man has been problematic for many years.

Here are my top 10 WORST dogs!

@dicapito I think that Biden made her eat some humble pie. Joe still trying to save the country and the party...

Pelosi helped the creature back in the White House when she backstabbed Biden. She didn’t want Harris as the next POTUS; no matter what she says in interviews.

The King won’t let Andrew’s daughters join the Royal family for church at Easter because Epstein, but he will go and dine with the rapey Epstein affiliate a couple of weeks later. Yeah that makes sense.
