Figuring out how to protect vulnerable people. Reading, throwing pots (ineptly but happily), walking, birding, hanging out with my wonderful family. Absolute gay/trans ally (parent). Oh right I like cats too.

Think about how backwards that is - more people are employed to block us from getting medical care than actually delivering it.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

District Attorney of Philadelphia:
The 10th Amendment says he cannot take over the Philadelphia Police Department. There’s no legal basis and there’s no emergency. We have the lowest rate of homicides in 50 years. The only emergency is Donald Trump.

Look at my lovely cat! Then grab your phone and call your representative NOW. Tell them why they need to vote no on the sickening bill the Senate just returned to them. 5Calls offers a script to customize. (Mine = Mike Lawler 202-225-6506, staffers as nice as he is mendacious.)

Yes there are millions of people who buy in to white Christian nationalism and some have shown how to turn it into very profitable businesses, but at its core is ignorance, racism, fear, insecurity, and perversion of the teachings of Jesus.
