It is difficult in the current situation to not be involved. I thought I had retired from electoral politics 10 years ago but feel the need to get involved again. ๐Ÿ™„

How any serious journalist can stay at CBS with her as editor in chief is beyond me.

We Can't Live Like This Trump's ICE agents are wantonly breaking the law across the country, while he sends the national guard to forcibly occupy blue states. It's up to the good citizens of this country to oppose this uncon...

For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social has said he wants to compromise on trans issues. Iโ€™m sorry but my rights arenโ€™t up for compromise.

Iโ€™m from a very blue state. Our 2 senators are mostly good but not without some pressure to make sure they did the right thing. Chris Murphy has said we need to negotiate on trans issues. Blumenthal always seems very uncomfortable around trans people. So we make calls to remind them we are here.

This meeting is going to show whether the officer corps is going to follow their oath to the Constitution or follow Mango Mussolini as he drives our country over a cliff. If they canโ€™t uphold their honor we need to make sure to shrink the military when the Dโ€™s regain control in a decade or 2.

@schumer.senate.gov and the Senate democrats will fold like cheap tissue. They will then wonder why their approval rating is in the toilet.

When I first saw that my thought was that this going to be some defense counselโ€™s exhibit #1 in a motion to get the charges against their client dismissed.

For my Burns Notice newsletter, I wrote about what it was like being a trans person and see the entire right wing try to incite pogrom on us over the last several weeks. burns-notice.ghost.io/what-am-i-su...

There are going to be a lot of state college professors and public school teachers reinstated in the coming weeks. Being distasteful about someone's assassination is supported by the First Amendment regardless of how you feel about it.

One of the local pols once derided a town council member by saying he would sell his vote for $5K. Not that selling your vote was bad but for only $5K was dumb. Canโ€™t imagine what she would say about a national pol only getting $50K.

Here in CT candidates are lining up already to take on one of the geriatric incumbents. I can see others coming for 1-2 of the others. So 2-3 primaries out of the 5 Democratic incumbents that is a pretty big percentage.

At a certain point she has to stand up for own, and our, honor. A task which she has failed at miserably since the start of this Congress. Is it politically advantageous? I canโ€™t say. But she will have to address the issue of what she did when we and her were being attacked.

All 5 of the Representatives in CT are Dems. Four of them voted yay on this. They all need to be primaried. This includes my representative @delauro.house.gov

This is absolutely nauseating.

The judgeโ€™s order is 4 pages of legalese for, โ€œYou have got to be effโ€™ing kidding me!โ€ The judge did give me a good laugh though.

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

While mainstream media is fully folding to fascism, itโ€™s a good time to stop supporting it with watches, clicks, subscriptions, $. You can help more by SENDING $ to amazing indy outlets like @assignedmedia.org, @equalaccesspublicmedia.org, @404media.co, @propublica.org, and many others.

Alt text: A screenshot of a news article excerpt. The text quotes a person making derogatory comments about transgender women, saying they have "an underlying level of aggressiveness" and claiming left-wing media tells them daily that they are victims. The speaker argues that transgender Americans face psychiatric issues and that society needs stronger mental health interventions. He continues by saying, "We have to treat these people. We have to get them off the streets, and we have to get them off the internet," calling transgender identity a "virus" and a "cancer" spreading across the country.

Anyone in the Democratic leadership call out this group for being anti-LGBTQIA+? Didnโ€™t think so.
