The MAGA regime recently killed the largest ancient 250 year old “Grandmother” Cottonwood tree in Arizona’s indigenous territory just to expand the orange felon’s fucking wall. I’ll never forgive anyone who chose this evil.

The vigil was powerful. And what I kept thinking as I heard the furious chants from the protesters was that I am so sorry that their pain is so great that they’ve lost the ability to recognize the pain of others. We are all humans. Our pain is collective. Our peace will be too. One day.

Apparently the "Charlie Hustle" nickname started as Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford making fun of Rose for sprinting to first after drawing a walk in a spring training game. Two Hall of Famers saw Pete Rose for the first time and immediately clocked his act as performative bullshit. Yet here we are...

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

People like to dump on the Democratic Party, and I've had my gripes in the past, but they've lined up excellent Senate candidates this time. The Republicans are putting up dopes like Darline Graham and crooks like Ken Paxton, while the Dems have solid folks like Annie Andrews and Adam Hamilton.

Not really, since I do not think he is eligible to be President given Jan 6th, but his allies helped overthrow the law on that front. So he didn't win a *fair* election. But he did avoid consequences for criminality and win *an* election, yes. And the attempt to overthrow the Republic goes on.
