Gay Dem in ruralish Colorado. First social awakening was Kent State...I was 12 when I first realized we were being lied to. Books I need to re-read: Three Body Problem, Capitalism Alone, The 1619 Project. Love theatre, feeding birds, fixing things.

Trump Has Systematically Dismantled Election Security Efforts. Here’s How.
Since his return to the White House, the lead federal partner for states on election security has lost around a third of its work force.

I've said before ... there is a compelling national security issue regarding Starlink/Shield and Space X that can only be resolved by nationalizing both companies. We can pay Musk fair market rate, after deducting all the subsidies he got over the years from taxpayers

The expansion of data centers will likely require installation of small-scale nuclear everywhere (since each entity must supply their own power). Those of us that have, over the past 40 years, tried to live the phrase "not man apart" in protecting the environment have the right to blinding anger.

So the *rump/*utin pact sets the stage for Trump to label ongoing Ukrainian efforts to suppress the invasion by targeting RU gas-oil as now being an attack against US interests. That is a short step away from *rump utterly betraying UKR and aligning with Russia. A-hole has already said as much.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

For the first time in US history, America betrays South Korea, one of our closest allies for over 75 years. These exercises in various forms have taken place every year since 1974.

Ice says that these electric gloves are meant to "maintain compliance." Slave owners used to say the same thing about whips. If using shock collars on dogs is Animal Cruelty and Abuse, how is it fine for ICE to use Shock Gloves on people?

It is deeply distressing to consider the sheer number and variety of people that the *rump admin has callously given cause to now fear for their future. I gotta assume repercussions will echo for years.

We need to protect Social Security for the next generation.
The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500 in income. So if you're a nurse or construction worker, you pay Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a lawyer raking in millions, you only pay Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. That is not right.

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.
