I’m a cranky retired doc who retreated to my garden in SW GA. I am trying to become a curmudgeon. No DMs please. No porn bots. If you get nasty and abusive I will block you. I vet before I follow back. I am a dad to 6 - 2 Dobies, 2 Siamese, and 2 Parrots.

They send armed goons to kidnap parents in front of their children and then get mad that we don’t thank them for “keeping us safe.”

Hell isn’t hot enough for these assholes.

Davids: I’ve heard some of my Republican colleagues encourage Donald Trump to be transparent about this idea of importing beef from Argentina. I’ll just say this — we don’t need transparency to know this policy is garbage. We need to be supporting American ranchers, farmers, and this ain’t it.

🌹I admittedly hadn't given June Lockhart much thought in decades until learning of her death tonight.
She was a part of my life watching one of the four channels we had growing up. She was elegant, smart, and as it turns out, a champion of liberal causes.
100 yrs. of grace. A life to be celebrated.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.”

The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan)
Robert Reich The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan)

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more.

It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GPRt5_WnLehnjgWR

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

For every fascist authoritarian, there was a Chamberlain who tried appeasement, or a Schumer who opted for stern letters over dogged resistance.

Fascism thrives in the face of timid opposition.

This is why voters are desperate for candidates who will truly challenge Trump and the oligarchs.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

Reagan was BOTH an extremely talented public speaker AND a terrible president. It might even be that one enabled the other.

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.

I had it exactly backward.

The Mamdani Moment And the Future of the Democratic Party

I agree with this 100%. The time is now to create the party and future we've been wanting.

"This dark time should wake us up to the bankruptcy of the corporate Democratic Party. It should mark the birth of the people’s Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani and others like him are its future."- R. Reich

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

As the lights continue to dim on our Democracy, I just want to go on record that I have always believed that everyone deserves quality universal health coverage whatever it’s called. No one should ever have to worry about going to the doctor and putting food on the table. No one. It’s a human right.
