THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed to my campaign so far! We’re still tallying the totals (and checking the PO Box one more time) but I’m honored by your support.

It’s about time someone took the fight to Tom Emmer - I’m just getting started.

I fell down that hole once… You have to race by and not look and/or tell Facebook you’re not interested and it still takes a while to shake

Yep. Used to check it multiple times a day. Not anymore.

Don't miss it, if I'm honest.

Worth noting that only 12 states have a greater population than NYC.

Moreover, six states have fewer people than voted yesterday.

I’d be careful about reading too much into this factoid.

Stealing a bit from someone else here: it's a good thing Congress isn't still alive to see this.

RAPIDPASS Virginia RAPIDPASS Virginia is the optional on-road vehicle emissions inspection program in Northern Virginia.

In VA they literally set up sensors by the side of the road to check your exhaust and you can pay to get the results and submit directly with your registration.

"Muggsy" Bogues isn't top 10 but I'd give him a short mention.

[I'll show myself out, thanks.]

Stunning, stunning photos and incredibly precious stories of formerly enslaved people here. Happy Juneteenth, y'all. None of us are free until we are all free.

Cannot deny that this sucks but here's the thing: We're not going anywhere.

I'm still trans, I'm still here. Even if the government wants me to die, there are millions of people who want to help me live. If you're closeted or questioning and reading this, millions of people want to help you live.
