New chapter. Same heart: Still asking. Still laughing. Still singing. Chronic illness met its match.
Truth telling instead of hiding behind “I’m fine.”
Hiding Behind “I’m fine.”
These days, I’m learning that being honest about the hard things can open doors - - not just for healing, but for connection.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant.
They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.
They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings.
The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore.

Wake up, Jeffries! We’ve been questioning this for a long, LONG time. Get it together or go home.
Jeffries: I think it’s fair that a lot of Americans across the country — that I run into — are questioning whether Donald Trump is actually fit at this point to be able to carry out the duties of the United States of America, in terms of being the president and the commander-in-chief.

100%.
Straight up, sickening behavior from American leaders. I am ashamed of our country. Sickened and ashamed.
Trump: You've allowed to be in a very bad position...You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. You're gambling with World War three.
Vance: Have you said thank you once?
Zelenskyy: A lot of times.
Vance: Offer some words of appreciation for the US and [Trump]...

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

Just to point out the obvious: if VP Harris ever acted like that in the Oval, the GOP AND the establishment media would have run her out of town.
Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president...
Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?...
Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social how did that tone-deaf political theater on the steps of the capitol work out? Dems, it’s time for a new Leader. Someone who understands the severity of our times and can hold more than one thing in their hands at a time.

The party-line vote came after a dramatic day of arm-twisting in the House, with all but one Republican ultimately backing the budget resolution.

I have to say, @maddow.msnbc.com’s “point of personal privilege” regarding @joy.msnbc.com is one of the best moments of TV I’ve seen in a very long time. Thank you, Rachel.

For the first time as a Facebook user, I - and a few other middle-aged men I know - involuntarily started following some newly elected Republican officials. Thanks for thinking of me, Meta. But, I’m good.
