I’ve been visiting the Florida Gulf Coast for 55 years or so. First time I’ve ever had to evacuate due to weather. It was still calm when we left Navarre Beach yesterday.

Working people are fired up and ready to elect pro-worker candidates across the country who will create an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires and greedy CEOs. Let’s get out and win for workers this election season! ✊

I did not read that quoted post because I noticed he did not end it with “thank you for your attention to this matter.”. So I’m assuming it’s less important than usual.

I’m embarrassed to admit I’m patronizing Florida. I boycotted it for more than a decade. But my family had a lot of fun down there before it turned into a fascist state. I’m making an exception, because this is probably my last chance to do something like this with my kids.

One of my adult children has a trans significant other who lives in Canada. She is afraid to join us for a beach vacation next week because she would not feel safe. This is aggravated by the fact that the house I rented is on the Florida Gulf Coast. Breaks my heart.

Of course. They know two levels above. They will find very sympathetic ears at SCOTUS.

But he can draw it on a map with a sharpie, probably somewhere off the coast of Florida. And throw in a hurricane to boot.

Over 22% of registered voters here voted for Harris in 2024. That’s over 1 million. I concede this state is far too red, but I bristle a little bit when someone paints us with a very broad brush that implies everyone here is racist and bigoted.

Talk of constitutional constraints and judicial remedies is kind of quaint when you remember this administration has no regard for the Constitution, and frequently flouts court orders.

This should be deemed fair use, but the “foot” line makes me laugh my ass off every time he says it. I can’t stop replying it. There might be a pharmacological explanation for that.

There is too much of that down here, but there’s a lot of people who are just as pissed off as you are. I’m still somewhat prejudiced against Yankees. It has nothing to do with the war, but rather how some of them assumed I was a dumbass when I was defending a case up north. Regional bias.

If it did, it wouldn’t shock me any more when you think about their previous actions. Let me ask you, do you trust them to give you accurate advice on health matters?

What is he doing saluting a foreign military officer, or even returning a salute, if that’s the case? Plus, you would think his years in military school would’ve taught him how to properly render a hand salute.

I’m about due for a flu and Covid boosters. Unfortunately, I can no longer trust US health authorities for guidance on the timing. Once again, I’m forced to go to a UK and Canadian governmental site. I’ll ask one of my many doctors as well but it sounds like early October for this 65 year old.

I think it’s almost certain that there is extra terrestrial life. I don’t know what percentage of it might be intelligent. But I’m pretty certain no other species is visiting this planet in stuff that people report seeing in the sky.

I retired from a company that spent a buttload of money doing the same thing. In general, corporate management is scared to death of having to negotiate with its primary supplier – its workforce. Yet they had a whole department to negotiate with other suppliers for copy paper, uniforms, etc.

Ripping up federal workers’ union contracts is an attack on working people across the country. That’s why America’s unions were on Capitol Hill this week - to show solidarity with federal workers and urge senators to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act!

I don’t know how we can expect children to learn, when they show up to school in the morning as one gender, and are sent home that afternoon as another. A process that normally takes adults months and even years.

After figuratively shitting on the Constitution for years, I’m surprised he didn’t take this opportunity to drop trow and do it for real.
