My last long-term relationship severed me from my love of creating art. I have yet to find a way to reconnect.

Can we stop electing fools like Manchin, Sinema and Fetterman? They work against our interests.

Got to talk a little Robotech with Wendee. She was the voice of Faye Valentine, Bulma from the original Dragon Ball. Vanessa from Robotech was her first role. Been listening to her voice my entire adult life.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

To understand this moment in American politics you have to accept that a significant portion of white Americans (regardless of political affiliation) hates Black people being free more than they love themselves or their children.

If you voted for Trump and see your mistake, you need to take responsibility for that mistake. You need to examine why you made that choice. Think about how much your decision has harmed your fellow human beings.
Yes, your decision has harmed your fellow human beings.
Your. Fellow. Human beings.

Liberals in the Detroit Public School system must have been built different. We threw hands against bullies or they never backed down.

I wonder if any of the federal employees who took Trump and Musk's offer of early retirement will ever see any of that money, given that Trump and Musk had no legal authority to offer that compensation package -- and that there are no appropriated funds to pay for it.

He is fucking insane. His plan is to push out the Palestinians and have the U.S. take over Gaza. Who’s volunteering their kids from the GOP?
Who looks forward to the increased terrorism? Who thought Trump would keep us out of war?

If more of y'all had watched and understood Babylon 5, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in today.

B5 fans watching the news, knowing where this is all going.
