Happily retired from a career that can best be described as Brownian motion. Lover of Oxford commas. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative, and frequently cranky.

My dogs have noticed that I get up and do something when an appliance beeps. Now if I don’t get up, they come to check on me. Some people have service dogs; I have chore dogs.

Politico exposed 2,900+ vile messages from Young Republican leaders praising Hitler, joking about gas chambers, and using slurs hundreds of times. This isn’t a few bad apples—it’s the future of the Republican Party.

Now we need a judge to block Trump’s order to the states to shut off all SNAP payments.

Every day brings more signs of cowardice and capitulation. I stated Democracy Docket in 2020 to be independent and pro-democracy no matter what. If you value media that will never compromise, bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

They’re arresting the giraffes
They’re arresting the frogs
They’re arresting the animals, of the people, that live there

“They” may bring violence to our peaceful protest. They’ve done it for years. Anyone who has peacefully protested has seen them. So, be mindful, be aware, be kind. Oh and do not engage our military.

We need 15 Appellate Courts (up from 13, to account for the growing population), and one SCOTUS justice per Appellate Court. And all federal judicial appointments should be for 20 years, not lifetimes.

As long as he keeps enriching his supporters in Congress and the Cabinet, they’ll continue to prop him up.

You’re assuming his family is able to feel love and empathy. They don’t care about him as a person; they value him for the money he’s helping them rake in. They want that gravy train to continue. They’ll never get him the help people with souls would provide.

Start looking at all the state government jobs available. Life is actually great and saner outside the Fed hive.

So Cuomo is the best candidate that establishment Dems can come up with, and they don’t understand why so many voters prefer Mamdani. Dems will fizzle away to nothing if they don’t start recognizing the power of the Progressive views and break away from the corporate-backed candidates.

Wow, Google has withdrawn its support from factchecking organisation @fullfact.org

It’s been one of the largest funders but now has cut its financial support.

I’m pretty sure this is so misinformation can run rife.
