Decided to break my fast from social media to share this article describing the long-term alliance between the Religious Right and the GOP. We're seeing Evangelicals reap what they've sown with their unwavering support for Trump. It's too bad that so many people have to suffer and die as a result.

Taking a 40-day break from social media during Lent. See you in April!

“If only I knew it was going to be this bad,” said everyone who refused to read Project 2025.

@drdixon.bsky.social Hi Brian!

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

After hearing how eating too much sugar and carbohydrates affects the human body I’ve decided to cut back on the amount of people I listen to

I'm glad to be here on Bluesky in time to be part of the conversation as Democrats ponder how we will move forward. This seems to be a more productive use of time and energy instead of constantly reacting to Trump's every new outrage.
