Dad, husband. We live in a great country but will lose it if we accept authoritarianism. Kindness makes us better. And…go Cardinals!

Was so excited to watch the next episode of #SlowHorses. Just wanted to chill…and #AppleTV is down. Boo!

Yeah, but can you read a grocery list you carry in your teeth?

No question. You would make any father proud. Keep it up.

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.”

This is how you pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Force public universities to send state collected taxpayer funds to Trump. Drive up tuition costs to lower and middle class people.

The grotesque policies are how you create a Christian Nationalist country.

YES!!

I abhor murder and our gun culture that makes it so easy.

I also abhor hateful denigration of people. Charlie Kirk’s career was built on this. And he is now a martyr to those who like his hatefulness.

Just another reason his murder is tragic

Either a complete lack of self awareness or chief instigator of the problem.

Both

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

Need to play him every day and figure if he realistically may be a scary power hitter or is just a big 240 singles hitter.

I laugh. And as a Californian am wondering how many ICE agents and National Guardsman will be deployed to CA as Trump ramps up retribution.

Anyone calling 15%tariffs on EU goods a victory…I hope you like spending an additional $7,500 on your $50,000 import while Europeans spend 0 extra. The Europeans took Trump to school and made him feel good about it. Embarrassing
