Annular Eclipse of the Sun: February 26, 2017. 8♓️12. An annular eclipse is when a narrow ring of the Sun is visible beyond the dark mask of the Moon. This eclipse is visible from southern South America, Antarctica, southern Africa, the south Pacific Ocean, and the south Atlantic Ocean. The annular path at maximum is 20 miles wide. Central eclipse ar local apparent noon: 14:38.7GMT. 9:58amEST. 6:58amPST. Followed by a beautiful Moon-Neptune conjunction 6 hours later. Remember, we may not be situated in a region of visibility, but the energetic power is easily felt, if we pay attention! It always seems to be a time of deep stillness and silence, even the birds seem quiet. For me, at least. ❤🙏🏻🌕🌑🌏
I am sure with all of these Resistance Org. We need to know who might be pushing it. I just know I am very careful with anything that Moore or Bernie are involved in.
So agree. I think that both Moore and Sanders are opportunists and self promoters. They talk but do not walk the walk. Thank you Nerdy for keeping this space open. When I heard the cheers for our forever President, I laughed and cried and felt deep satisfaction that Trump would never have that spontaneous expression of love and delight.
This is an unwitting compliment to Obama. Comparing brutal tax receipts from recession he inherited to robust ones from when he left. https://t.co/TfrFK6maxh
Okay, I now want to join Instagram. Pete has been doing a terrific job and I’d love to follow and pass his pics along.
/whispering: CEB, how does one go about this? I’m sure I was told before but I didn’t attempt it at the time because I thought I was limiting my digital presence. 🙄 /
Jeff Flake’s robo call just happened…He’s going to hold a ‘telephone town hall” (read: cowardly) and wanted to know my thoughts on things ahead of time. I shared my thoughts:)
Already the Ellison people are saying that if Perez win he will have build bridges with Ellison people, get the fuck out of here. That’s how we ended up with Trump.
I thought I saw recently a tweet from Ellison saying that he and Perez are okay with each other…to which Perez concurred. If Ellison loses, yes, Perez should reach out, but Ellison should play a big part in building the bridges.
If getting rid of 45/Pence and take seats from GOP representatives (state and federal) especially those that have/are colluding with 45 is not enough of a reason to come together, then the Democratic Party is in more trouble than we thought.

If Nina and the Bernie wing leave the DNC if Ellison doesn’t win … does that mean if Perez doesn’t win, then, the non Berniecrats should do the same???
Split the party? Party over country? One way to ensure Republican control of the country for a long time.
Msg for Nina and Purists … Putin’s Puppet thanks you.
I have to say that I do not really care who wins as DNC head because it has made no difference to my city nor my state. Most democrats have no idea who the chairman is n or what he/she does outside of fundraising. While I am not a wonk, I am not completely clueless and I had no idea who any of these people were from Wasserman to those running, were. I knew about Donna Brazile from her work on Al Gore’s campaign and her appearances on the talk shows during the Bush years, but that is it. Top down does not work and whoever becomes chairman will need to learn to work as OFA does. PBO did not come from the DNC and he and we were the better for it.
There are some structural issues that need to be dealt with institutionally: gerrymandering and voter suppression. The DNC must take these on and make progress.
President Obama endorsed and encouraged Tom Perez to run for the DNC Chair. Perez will do things the OFA way and he will build from the grassroots up, you are correct in saying that top down does not work. There is no better example than the rise of President Obama and his beginnings as a community organizer.
I feel good about this because I trust PBO’s judgement. The fact that Ellison had Michael Moore’s endorsement was enough for me to have misgivings about him.
If you came here supporting me, I'm asking you to give everything you've got to support Chairman Perez. – Keith Ellison, DNC Deputy Chair pic.twitter.com/Rkjg5PFMrA
“In the past, Nizar glued the stones on to cards, but now glue is too expensive. Nearly as soon as he has created a piece of art he dismantles it and begins piecing together a new image.
“I take photos of the artwork. This is the only way to preserve them and make sure people will see them,” he said.”
Geez, just checked out the comments on a FB announcement of Perez’ win– what a bunch of whiny Bernie wankers! “I’ll never give the Dems money again!” “Dems deserve to lose from now on!” and my favorite: “Corporatists take over the party!”
Honestly, I’m so very tired of these tired phrases. Especially because I can catch the whiff of right-wing propaganda that has influenced their thinking. Crazy how I have gone from pride and a sense of progress to utter disgust in just a few months.
I so agree. I am tired of their purity. Where do the think the money and jobs are going to come from. We need to reward the corporations that work with employees. And Wall Street is here to stay. We just need to better control them. Can’t do that when you think of them only as the enemy.
Good day TOD! Nerdy, thank you so much for these lovely clips and photos of PBO. Seeing him out and about with Malia made my day!
And I am thrilled that Tom Perez is going to be the next DNC chair. He has the experience of running a large organization and the background as a civil rights attorney, both of which will be helpful on the ongoing fight. I did not have anything against Keith Ellison (other than Bernie’s endorsement of him) but he simply did not have the experience that Perez does which is critical. Finally, it will be helpful to have him maintain his role in Congress.

WOOT! WOOT! We started the weekend with sightings of our illustrious Prez looking swagalicious on the streets of New York. Now Tom Perez is our DNC Chair! WOOT! WOOT! I’m damn near giddy! As for Sanders, this guy’s response is more polite than me. Imma be more like Malcom Nance was with Milo Cesspool on Bill Maher… EFF OFF Bernie and go have a stadium full of seats now.
I think he's got it covered. Let Democrats lead the Democratic Party. https://t.co/olF01HcuzF
This is a pretty awesome story. Dude complains about immigrant crime in Sweden. Turns out he's a criminal immigrant himself in the US #Malmohttps://t.co/rrIOHmr7Jl
I'm honored to work side by side w/ @KeithEllison. Democrats will always have my ear, and I will always have your back. Let’s get to work! pic.twitter.com/yrEZdEL7NX
Reminder that #DNCChair Tom Perez was nearly blocked from confirmation to Obama's cabinet because Republicans found him too progressive. pic.twitter.com/pzZ6FKvONQ
Or he just found out most media organizations are not going to be represented, certainly no celebrity worth their salt will be attending which gives an unfavorable comparison with that of PBO’s 8 years in office. He also knows the public will not be watching, they will be watching some other competing show, perhaps a non-white house correspondents’ association dinner.
There will be no celebrity-studded galas and after-parties; just a dreary affair which would truly be a nerd prom. He has also pissed off much of the national media, so this is a coward not showing up more than anything else.
smh…should have canceled the dinner……so now what will they do,,invite the guy for Saturday Night Live as a fill in…do they have the nerve????…that would be hysterical
Our mission isn't to convince haters to stop hating. It's to convince non-voters to start voting. That's how democracy is made strong. pic.twitter.com/FM9gpLvOFM

This is part of Michael Moore project. I’d be careful with his involvement. I feel he is much like Bernie.
Good advice mtmarilyn.
Hmm, it came in from Seattle Indivisible. Guess I need to be more vigilant before sharing

Now that’s mighty mighty shade
Mighty deserved shade
I just downloaded Instagram to follow Pete; he is a warrior!
I love seeing more and more of his personality come out every day. He’s amazing.
Okay, I now want to join Instagram. Pete has been doing a terrific job and I’d love to follow and pass his pics along.

Jeff Flake’s robo call just happened…He’s going to hold a ‘telephone town hall” (read: cowardly) and wanted to know my thoughts on things ahead of time. I shared my thoughts:)
Tom Perez 213 1/2 votes
Keith Ellison 200 votes
215 votes needed to win, they will have a re-vote soon.
Another ballot coming
As CNN was going to commercial Donna Brazil was coming up to speak.
Does the next ballot happen right away or is there a break to whip votes?
It happens right away from my understanding.
Already the Ellison people are saying that if Perez win he will have build bridges with Ellison people, get the fuck out of here. That’s how we ended up with Trump.
Christ on a crutch this gets tiresome.
Amen Sister!
Exactly!!!! This goes both ways. Can’t start out with this division talk.
I thought I saw recently a tweet from Ellison saying that he and Perez are okay with each other…to which Perez concurred. If Ellison loses, yes, Perez should reach out, but Ellison should play a big part in building the bridges.
If getting rid of 45/Pence and take seats from GOP representatives (state and federal) especially those that have/are colluding with 45 is not enough of a reason to come together, then the Democratic Party is in more trouble than we thought.
But then this happended…

Hello TOD.
Thanks, NW for your hard work for TOD.
Congrats, Judith for your solid Au ⭐
Thinking of Chips & Dudette.
Child of Hawaii has spent some time at the beach ❤
He had been locked up for more than 8 years in that house called white. this is President Obama living the the word “FREEDOM” lol
If Nina and the Bernie wing leave the DNC if Ellison doesn’t win … does that mean if Perez doesn’t win, then, the non Berniecrats should do the same???

Msg for Nina and Purists … Putin’s Puppet thanks you.
I am NOT a Bernie fan.
This Tweet is 1001% Perfect!
yet this was the President he thought should be primaried in 2012..Bernie is a Fraud
No matter who wins, come election time the Bernie Bros will get back to all the threatening and leaving. It’s what they do.
AMEN…but they will be isolated…fool me once shame on you…fool me twice shame on me…

Stay safe those of you who live in these areas:
In MD too. Got caught in it… hail lightening ish.
WOW!!
So happy to have this over. Now we will see who believes in Country over ideology (Berniebots).
Ellison didn’t move. This so clearly (to my mind) reflects that ‘fringe’ voters tend to take votes from the ‘main’ guy/gal.
Following the teachings of PBO, Chairman Perez, appointed Ellison Deputy Chair was a very smart move. YUUUUUUGE!
Sure Bernie people on Twitter were calling him a corporatist. He a social justice lawyer for heaven’s sake! They are just ignorant.
Yessss!
I feel good about this because I trust PBO’s judgement. The fact that Ellison had Michael Moore’s endorsement was enough for me to have misgivings about him.
Congrats to Perez! And to the entire Democratic Party, which can now get moving and get the Republicans out of office– all the offices.
Wow…..
Wise move!
I am so happy that Perez is DNC chair. Now we can get to work. And I am sure he will be checking with PBOtoo.
Wow that’s extremely decent of him. No fan of Bernie but I think this was a good thing to do. Both of them together should make a dynamic team. Hope.
woohoo just saw that Tom Perez won- yay! Glad to see this. 🙂
GA, TOD!
This brought tears…
“In the past, Nizar glued the stones on to cards, but now glue is too expensive. Nearly as soon as he has created a piece of art he dismantles it and begins piecing together a new image.
“I take photos of the artwork. This is the only way to preserve them and make sure people will see them,” he said.”
the souild and spirit move on…finding new ways to express themselves…we are fortunate
the soul^
Thank you for sharing. I looked at the whole thread. All the pictures are so powerful.
I am so sick and tired of Bernie Sanders. He is full of himself.
I just ignore him 😉 he really is an arrogant jerk… I will never understand his appeal.
Geez, just checked out the comments on a FB announcement of Perez’ win– what a bunch of whiny Bernie wankers! “I’ll never give the Dems money again!” “Dems deserve to lose from now on!” and my favorite: “Corporatists take over the party!”
Honestly, I’m so very tired of these tired phrases. Especially because I can catch the whiff of right-wing propaganda that has influenced their thinking. Crazy how I have gone from pride and a sense of progress to utter disgust in just a few months.
personally I think anyone attacking democrats right now may as well be a rightwinger. Too much at stake for all of us to play that stupid game.
I sooo agree! It makes me crazy to see the old conflicts flaring up again.
This, a million times! If the “holier than thou purity progressives” don’t like the Democratic Party they are free to go create their own party.
hello nath 🙂 yep you are correct.
I so agree. I am tired of their purity. Where do the think the money and jobs are going to come from. We need to reward the corporations that work with employees. And Wall Street is here to stay. We just need to better control them. Can’t do that when you think of them only as the enemy.
Now Bernie Sanders can go sit his ass down somewhere since his vision was roundly voted down.
Am en. If I never hear from him again it will be too soon!
Good day TOD! Nerdy, thank you so much for these lovely clips and photos of PBO. Seeing him out and about with Malia made my day!
And I am thrilled that Tom Perez is going to be the next DNC chair. He has the experience of running a large organization and the background as a civil rights attorney, both of which will be helpful on the ongoing fight.

Finally, it will be helpful to have him maintain his role in Congress.
A good day (they have been few and far between).
So sorry for the duplicate.
This is what I had in mind.
Meanwhile Mr. divisive want Mr. Perez to “understand” that Democratic party cannot be the “same old, same old.”
Always lecturing with his faux high and mighty-ness. I cannot stand his behind.
Reality bites ….
BS just has to get his licks in. GO AWAY
WOOT! WOOT! We started the weekend with sightings of our illustrious Prez looking swagalicious on the streets of New York. Now Tom Perez is our DNC Chair! WOOT! WOOT! I’m damn near giddy! As for Sanders, this guy’s response is more polite than me. Imma be more like Malcom Nance was with Milo Cesspool on Bill Maher… EFF OFF Bernie and go have a stadium full of seats now.
🙂 🙂
You tell it sista! 😀
Preach!
ha! good point, I didn’t even catch that. So take that repubs!
PBO’S megawatt smile is just pure joy !
☺
See this is the sort of thing that should not be retweeted.
Congrats to Tom Perez. Yes, let the unity begin.
I see some of PBO’s traits in Perez.
This tweet is meant to be a distraction from all of the Russia news.
LOL – well to be fair, I’m sure it would bring back very bad memories of being utterly HUMILIATED on national teevee by an amazing REAL President 🙂 🙂
This!!!
Or he just found out most media organizations are not going to be represented, certainly no celebrity worth their salt will be attending which gives an unfavorable comparison with that of PBO’s 8 years in office. He also knows the public will not be watching, they will be watching some other competing show, perhaps a non-white house correspondents’ association dinner.

Well this says it all…
smh…should have canceled the dinner……so now what will they do,,invite the guy for Saturday Night Live as a fill in…do they have the nerve????…that would be hysterical
Zero likelihood that he actually wrote this– look at the clear, correct English sentences. Plus, the word “please” is a dead give-away. 🙂
