I don’t want to brag but someone just tweeted at me that I’m getting weirder and weirder and I was kind of honored?

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

The great Geraldine Page was BOTD in 1924 & died too soon in 1987 at 62. She was married to actor Rip Torn, 6 years her junior, for 27 yrs. My fave performances of hers are as Alma Winemiller in P. Glenville's "Summer and Smoke" (1961) & as Eve in Woody Allen's "Interiors" (1978)
