Trying my best -- often failing, but occasionally succeeding.

It was another hard night for me and Matty.
The spaces between his coughing fits are growing smaller and smaller. When he isn't coughing, we're just worrying about the next coughing fit. The hydrocodone isn't working anymore.
I have scheduled his departure for the next world for this Thursday 💔

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Protect Abortion Coverage in the ACA
Congress is locked in negotiations over whether to make healthcare affordable or let costs skyrocket. Anti-abortion groups are trying to exploit the debate to push abortion out of reach. We must take action.
