Lefty Atty. Progressive/Democratic Socialist. Earthling. Love sarcasm, defenders of those easily stepped on, and bold steps in the left direction. And dogs. And trees. And the beach. 💙

The legacy media is reconsidering the White House Correspondence dinner because Trump insulted them. What they don't get is that they insulted their viewers and readers by attending in the first place. Support independent media that doesn't suck up to Trump whether he is nice to them or not.

One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for 2-4 people daily. Forests act as giant air purifiers—absorbing CO₂, pollutants, and particulates—delivering cleaner air that reduces respiratory diseases and supports every cell in your body. Breathe better. Thank a forest. 🌬️
