All well drinks were a buck, though $2 for a Long Island Ice Tea. Thursday nights at Virginia Cafe, hippest place to be mid-1980s!

My claim to off-beat Portland fame, I worked buck nights as a waitress at Virginia cafe...before it had to relocate away from Nordstrom adjacency. Way before Portlandia!

I wanted Steve Sweeney gone for so long, and he was bad, but Nick Scutari is somehow far worse.

Despite the steady drizzle, we were nearly 500 strong as we celebrated our nation's democracy on a very historic corner in Rahway. Flag and signs were brought out on the very spot once visited by our first president, who also declared #NoKings, en route to his inauguration in New York.

For the sake of your long-term health and that of others, please keep in mind that the New York Times has “safewashed” COVID the same way they’ve “sanewashed” Trump. Same outlet, different lies (often lies of omission).

We want healthy local food in public schools. Here’s why we have killed all the farm-to-cafeteria programs and bankrupted local farmers.

Thank you to everyone who took to the streets for No Kings today.

Who said “no” to fascism. To hatred. To bigotry. To policies rooted in division and cruelty.

To my fellow disabled people who couldn’t attend in person, please don’t feel guilty.

There’s plenty of ways we can help the fight!

Per my husband, as of noonish, Rahway Ward 3 had 20 Dem ballots cast vs 10 GOP. (You did say "anecdotal"!)

Which Democrat do Republicans fear the most in N.J. governor race? This might surprise you. Republicans have their own thoughts about the crazy Democratic scrap for governor.

'The more I see of him, the more he connects with people. He’s got a great grassroots campaign.'"

Another said he would be 'a very interesting person to run against, and harder from some perspectives because he would be less conventional, less predictable.'"

Let’s not forget that earlier today, this day was known as “we cannot build bananas in America” day. That is, until everything went bananas
