Sunday I met the head Chaplain of a MD conference of Spanish-speaking churches. He told us is that many of congregants are afraid to go out to work and are eating into their small savings, which are starting to run out. We need to be ready for the huge wave of need that is about to hit us.

Yes, I had seen. Hopefully you are starting to feel better. You’ll have a break now for a few months, but expect messages early next season. Perhaps we could have avoided the woes of the first few months of 2025 if we knew this trick!

I can’t help but notice on this GOP propaganda HUD homepage there is a big blue button to give feedback on the site. Y’all know what to do. #Shutdown #Resist

Spent much of the past 24 hours at HoCo General. I was kind of surprised how few masks I saw on patients and staff. I also appreciated the doctor who took off his mask so I could see his face when he met (unmasked) me and delivered information.

Life gets overwhelming these days, and I wonder how we will make it, and then the power of music comes along to resurrect us. Thank you, David Byrne.

I hit save on this post and one second later, Beavers hit the walk off. Do I now need to message you whenever we get in a tough spot, Matt?

I realize you are trying to protect this event, but I am also becoming increasingly concerned about requiring people to provide information that will be collected and potentially compromised to authorities. Not sure how to address that, but please consider it.

Glad to see our Congresswoman @elfreth.house.gov standing up for this bill.

Saw three Rock and Roll Hall of Famers at an outdoor concert yesterday and I’ve got to say, my mental state is considerably improved this morning. That’s the power of rock and roll. Can’t recommend enough.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

Thursday’s @columbiademclub.bsky.social meeting is a potluck #DinnersforDemocracy event. Looking forward to meeting new folks and filling out some postcards!

Columbia Democratic Club @columbiademclub.bsky.social · 29d

Image of a postcard with large text reading: the majority of Americans support” then showing four dial images illustrating:
86% universal background checks
74% Trans rights protections
70% safe and legal abortion
70% paths to citizenship
Text below reads: these are not extreme ideas. This is our common ground.

Good night at the Yard. We couldn’t remember the last time we had seen the Os win a game in person, so I looked it up. June 11th. With three games left I was starting to worry we wouldn’t see another win this year. Great job taking care of that, Samuel!

This will get us through the fall leaf season and maybe even an early snowfall.
