Way too many interests for my own good. Leading Edge of GenX. From the LBC to Denver with many detours and stops along the way. Oh, I often think of the like button as an acknowledgment, rather than a like, yet sometimes it is a genuine like.

🚨BREAKING: In a huge win for Missouri voters, the Supreme Court again rejected Republicans' bid to reinstate their congressional gerrymander for the midterms. The ruling ensures voting in the state will not be disrupted this fall.

In a win for voters, Supreme Court blocks Missouri’s gerrymandered map for midterms
The Supreme Court’s ruling, which is a victory for pro-voting groups, comes after Missouri has already sent ballots for the upcoming election to overseas and absentee voters.

So what did Dolly Parton name the entity she established to oversee her estate, publishing interests, and legacy after her death? “She’s Alive LLC.” Absolutely perfect.

You know what isn’t a “legitimate concern”? Feeling enraged about migrants living near you, women rejecting your advances, trans people using a public toilet, gay folks holding hands on the street. You know what is a “legitimate concern”? Rampant racism, misogyny, homo/transphobia. Just saying.

Remember in Schindler's List when the Nazi commander uses a sniper rifle to shoot prisoners in the Concentration Camp. This is a video of Israel using machine guns from a tank to shoot prisoners in a Concentration Camp. 💔😢💔😢🤬🇮🇱🤬🤬🤬🤬🇮🇱♾️

Trump's financial disclosures show that he purchased up to $500K in Boeing stock. That same day Boeing received an $880M contract from the U.S. Navy. When will the SEC do its job & investigate Trump’s apparent insider trading? He's using the presidency to enrich himself.

Jane Fonda’s tribute to Dolly is perfect.
janefonda
I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on. I know that millions are mourning and I want to say this - more than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always be with us because she was so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever. We have our memories of her, her songs, Dollywood, "9to5," the millions of books she got into the hands of children, all the iconic images that bring her to us. And they are all blessings. Let's be grateful for all that she has left us to ease our sadness now. I never knew anyone like her. She was simultaneously a naughty, playful southern gal from the hollows of
Tennessee and a deep, soulful thinker who could see through people right down to their true selves. She was many things...lyricist, songstress, player of many instruments, writer, prankster, visionary, loyal friend, who'd never go to bed before she and her friends had laughed so hard
they'd have to cross their legs.
She had a survivor's instinct and seemed to always know just what to do, just what to say, to make things right....and then she's stick her butt out the car window and moon Kenny Roger's home. She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy. That's something of hers she'd want us all to take with us.
To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn't want y'all to mourn now. Dress up and celebrate her spirit. But first, watch the final episode of Grace and Frankie where she's an Angel, the head honcho working class angel in Heaven.
RIP, beautiful woman. We love you.

The Trump admin is urging the Supreme Court to allow it to make sweeping changes to vote-by-mail ahead of this year's midterm elections. Trump is trying to disenfranchise millions of voters. We can’t let him.

Trump’s war on Iran has so far cost taxpayers $37.5 BILLION. As if skyrocketing gas prices weren’t enough, Trump also expects us to foot this bill. Trump’s illegal forever war has spiraled out of control.

Forests are more than just wood and are important for the water balance. The groundwater beneath a forest is clean, oxygen-rich and excellent for producing drinking water. That is why forests are particularly often also water protection areas. 💚🌿☘️🌱🌲🌳🍀💚

Make clocks more honest again with permanent Standard Time!
Title reads “Standard Time is closer to nature”. Three clocks are shown, one for San Diego mean solar time (set to 12:00), one for Pacific Standard Time (set to 11:49), one for Pacific Daylight Time (set to 12:49). Subtitle reads “Alignment to solar time naturally benefits health, safety, education, economy.”

Donald Trump's ONLY priority is rigging and stealing the 2026 election. We need Democratic AGs to announce now that if Trump or anyone tries to interfere in the 2026 election in their jurisdiction they will be swiftly prosecuted under state law. That includes Trump!

REMINDER: There are now just 120 days until the Nov 3 midterm. Saying this is the most important election in our lives is an understatement. This is the most important election in the life of our Republic. If MAGA wins, they will rig the 2028 election and target the freedoms of all who oppose them!

Patriotism isn't about building walls, punishing immigrants, cutting taxes for the rich, attacking the press, or dividing us by race & faith. True patriots don't pander to divisiveness or hate. They work to confirm the "WE" in "We the People of the United States."

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

The wealthy elites demanding that everyone work until 70 (or longer), so that they don’t have to pay FICA tax on all of their income like the rest of us, are the same wealthy elites who have no intention of hiring anyone over 50. #SocialSecurity

Trump cut funding for Medicaid, food stamps, education…the list goes on. All on the pretense that we can’t afford it. Yet, apparently we can afford $330 million – and counting – on National Guards roaming D.C. with no clear strategy or measurable outcomes. There’s always money, just not for us.
