Retired (under duress) USDA Forest Service. Liberal. Anti-fascist. Looking forward to end of the regime and restoration of our rights. My happy place is a good book, some Dead playing in the background and my cats. Or some good trouble!

Russia is bombing museums, apartment buildings, hospitals, research facilities, schools, and parks. Ukraine is bombing military targets and refineries. Guess which one Trump has been complaining about?

Trump had $400 million in his PAC and he STILL decided that he needed to steal taxpayer money to pay for campaign ads for the midterms.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.
