Men in power are inherently corrupt and destructive. The more flaccid they become the more power they need. Having a dick is a prerequisite to becoming a dictator.

North Korea is good. Canada is bad. Coal is good. Solar is bad. Measles is good. Vaccination is bad. Child rapists are good. Childcare is bad. Pointless wars are good. Universal healthcare is bad. Anyone supporting the unrelenting chaos of the #GOP deserves zero respect. #RemoveTrump

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

“It was mindless, gutter politics. It felt to Duncan that after three decades of fighting to clear his name in the courts, he was now being forced to do it again in public.” My profile of the extraordinary Calvin Duncan, his historic run for office & the Maga effort to eradicate his victory

He won office in Louisiana after a murder exoneration. Maga wouldn’t let the election stand
Calvin Duncan studied law in prison to free himself and won his court clerk race in a landslide. Three hours in, the role was abolished in an act of ‘white supremacy’

I hate that I was right about Platner. People will be talking about witch hunts and Republican operatives. Al Franken will be invoked. Yet there are many pols who will never have to worry about these kinds of accusation. I believe women. Toxic masculinity has no place in the Democratic party.

Before you get snobbish about e-readers, remember that they allow large text for those with sight disabilities, alternate fonts for those with dyslexia, and can be laid down flat for those lacking mobility in their hands. That last point is especially helpful for me right now. Go e-readers!

I am celebrating one year on BlueSky🎉 I never anticipated I would be in a community that shares such magnificent artistry of words & photos, while also showing so much kindness & support -and joy & fun!! You are awesome people Thank you my friends I posted this tree my first day on BlueSky
Photo from Bar Harbor, Maine. 

There is a path that has a wall that was built to include a most lovely little tree -I found this to be wonderful-happiness. It’s a foggy morning along the coast, the ocean off to the left side, a white picket fence on the right side and the sun is trying to shine through. 

This was an early morning, lovely time of reflection along a path with the sun, water and most importantly a Lovely Tree
