I like sports, music, movies, history and most of all, laughter. Big fan of Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes and Booker T. & the MGs. Favorite movie is Airplane. I support democracy.

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

I read the Jan. 6 indictment. Every person, without exception, that supplied evidence and/or testimony worked in the Trump admin and/or worked to get him re-elected.

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war. And not a word from Senile Satan.

Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.

I saw a meme today that said that books are proof that strangers can meet across centuries and still understand each other. That really resonated.

A lot of truth in this new cartoon from Nova Scotia's Bruce MacKinnon. BTW, King Dumbass is claiming (as usual, with no evidence) that Dolly Parton was a "huge fan" of him. Yeah, right.

Would have been better if it was Captain America but that is nit-picking. Having said that, Marvel may have found the greatest marketing campaign of all-time.

👇🎯 I don't think folks outside of Wisconsin fully grasp how monumental this would be as the culmination of 16 years of slow, hard work to reverse the Fidesz-on-Mendota Party's total control of the state government & the massive damage of the Scott Walker years.

It's hard to get worked up about an 18yo having (presumably consensual) sex with a 17yo. If that were the case, there's a lot of 18yos who should be in jail. (Not condoning anything but people don't go to jail over it.) If he created the Instagram account, that is a far more serious charge IMHO.

We really don't know how good or bad the war with Iran is going because Pete Hegsmith's Pentagon will only deal with journalists who agree to say whatever he wants. The agreement is so bad, even Fox News declined.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

Their goal is to create so much chaos and so many crises that it starts to feel like nothing you do makes a difference. Don’t believe it. Every action matters. Keep showing up and remember the resistance will prevail!

On Facebook, I posted the photo of the woman on the DC metro train surrounded by the Patriot Front and said how terrified she must have been. Two (now former) friends gave my post a laughing emoji. I am truly disgusted by their attitude and blatant show of bigotry.

Saw a social media post by a MAGA-nut. It blamed the algae problem on Antifa pouring it into the reflection pool. Showed a "video" with 4-5 people in the pool in broad daylight. Ridiculous? Insane? Mind-boggling dumb? Yes. The problem is some people sincerely believe it.

The fundamental, guiding principle of the right-wing political party in this country, however it existed at that point in time, is they only want white people to vote. Every political theory and opinion about how voting "should be run" stems from that ultimate conclusion. That is what they want.
