I understand all of what the govenor is saying, but the rigging is already in play. A billionaire sycophant has purchased Dominion. The voting machines. How do we get around that? What's the plan to ensure that the machines aren't deleting or adding votes? youtube.com/shorts/HQY6o...

Today was a tough one! 30-Minute Run (first one post-race), 15-Minute Kettlebell Workout (Caroline Girvan) and a 15-Minute Pilates Mat workout. I'm now on the couch with a bowl of soup and some water (I've also had some electrolytes and protein). Someone send peanut butter cups.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

Yeah... they're so transparent. They're also really ignorant.
Kendrick Lamar spoke english and
had a red white & blue theme. They
got mad. Beyoncé spoke english
and literally did a COUNTRY MUSIC
half time show. They got mad.
At some point you gotta just admit
it got nothin to do with the
language, and everything to do
with you being a
racist xenophobe.

A gunman rammed his truck into a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Michigan before opening fire and setting the church ablaze It's sad that both parties will rush to paint the gunman as one the other side before caring about the victims

Tucker Carlson’s comments represent the worst kind of conspiratorial antisemitism from the far right. This has NO place in this country. We all need to stand up and recognize this for what it is. Shame on those who don’t call it out.

Long Birthday weekend; On Friday we went kayaking at Assateague. We saw wild horses, a ton of gorgeous birds, and then ate back all of the calories in Ocean City. Saturday we walked all over Rehoboth, Dewey, and Bethany--then ate steamed crabs (I earned that meal). Today we meandered home.

While I have been incredibly fortunate in my life to always know that I have a roof over my head, I have volunteered with the homeless and this is true. Most of the people I met were good people who had been failed by the system.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...
poynter.org
Nexstar’s takeover of Tegna would require an overhaul of FCC ownership rules - Poynter
The proposed sale would exceed the FCC’s 39% cap, igniting debate among broadcasters, unions and press groups

This is called "purposely missing the point to make yourself into a victim." Classic white woman move. My mom does it. Chenowith didn't need to say anything; she, as an adult, chose to. She needs to accept the consequences of that decision and acknowledge it was a bad choice, while learning.

The late Terry Pratchett, in his Discworld books, talked about entire economies built on the backs of little old ladies carrying baskets to the market and that if they stopped, "the whole thing would fall down..." I try to view it that way; "Oh they're tougher than me." 😆
