Just a lump of thinking meat made from stardust. Life begins at first breath. Abortion restrictions violate the 1st Amendment. Trans rights are human rights. Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump - the Axis of Evil. An #EnemyWithin

We have to engage the non-voters. MAGA plans to cheat their way to victory. We have to drown their election rigging with victory margins too large to deny. Every vote counts! #BlueWave
Two years ago, the reflecting pool was reflecting, the East Wing existed and was welcoming visitors to the People's House, and the Kennedy Center was financially stable and artistically thriving.

Gasoline was semi-affordable and USAID was saving human lives all over the world.

Go vote. We don't have to like this.

Fascism depends on silence, fear, obedience, and the belief that resistance is pointless. Resist anyway. Speak when silence is demanded. Organize when isolation is encouraged. Defend the rights they tell you are expendable. Democracy survives when people refuse to surrender it. #Vote 🌊

Trump administration gets OK to scale back disability protections

The federal government will do away with rules requiring that people with disabilities be served in the community under a settlement with a handful of states that advocates say sidesteps decades of precedent.

Goldwater: "These Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." He didn't add that they accuse anyone who is critical of them or opposes their schemes, of being controlled by the Devil as a power move.
Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them. - Barry Goldwater
