💙 Retiree. She/her. California chauvinist. Pro-democracy. I don’t always rant profanely about the current hellscape—I have other accounts for food and travel pics and stuff—but when I do, it’s here.

Tim Snyder unloads on Trump and his inner circle: They are all greedy cowards. If he encounters Europeans or Ukrainians especially who actually believe in democracy, the rule of law, who care about their country… this is detestable to him.

Just talked with a lifelong Republican in the Delta Sky Club at LaGuardia who was heading home to Dallas. He told me he’s voting for James Talarico in November. His words about Ken Paxton: “He’s corrupt as all fuck.” And he said he’s “ashamed” Paxton is the GOP nominee.

It’s batshit to me that the far left think they can win national, statewide, or even local races across this country w/out building a coalition that includes moderates. I’m a progressive. But I know calling moderates names doesn’t win them over, it just shrinks your coalition.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

October is #breastcancerawareness month. Did you know: Mary Claire King discovered the BRCA1 gene. In the 70s, she told people that one gene might be responsible for inherited breast cancer. No one believed her. In 1990, she found proof. It created a paradigm shift. It saved millions of lives.🧪

When Time asked Trump whether he’d rule out declaring a state of emergency in the runup to the midterms, he should’ve said, “Of course that won't happen.” Instead, he hedged. Given the broader pattern, I find it tough to shrug off stuff like this. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Trump hedges when asked about using the Insurrection Act ahead of midterms
In light of his track record, it’s tough to shrug when he dodges a question about possibly declaring a state of emergency ahead of the elections.
