A Trumper asked me today if I was one of those nutjobs trying to save polar bears.

My reply I think shocked him: No. The polar bears are already dead bears walking/swimming. We can't save them. They will go extinct in the wild. At this point, we're just trying to keep agriculture from collapsing.

I know y'all know how important courts are in this fight against fascism. That's why Repubs are trying to defeat our three Democratic justices in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Vote to retain:
β˜‘οΈKevin M. Dougherty
β˜‘οΈChristine Donohue
β˜‘οΈDavid N. Wecht

Vote Blue for these democracy defenders!

Why Corporate Media is Bending the Knee
YouTube video by Robert Reich Why Corporate Media is Bending the Knee

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Folks, when I say the regime is desperate, I do not mean that it is defanged or beaten.

I mean that the means of its dismantling are exposed, and they know it, and fear it.

We still have to be courageous enough to do that dismantling, and it only happens if we summon that courage and do that work.

I judge your worth based on how you treat the most vulnerable people in your communities.

If you cannot muster empathy for the downtrodden, you are not human enough to warrant my time.

JB Pritzker: Blocking arms sales sends Israel β€˜the right kind of message’ The Illinois Democrat said he backed the Senate bid to halt Israel arms sales to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over Gaza crisis.

Governor Pritzker is right. No more blank checks for Netanyahu’s right-wing government and its military. No more blank checks for war crimes against Palestinians.

WTF? FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities. The allegation? That Judge Hannah Dugan β€œintentionally misdirected federal agents away from” someone they were pursuing, according to a now-deleted post by Mr. Patel.

You are giving your power away by doing this. If you do or any other Democratic Senator does, I will never give another dollar to this spineless party again.

If you have the capacity, it is time to start organizing and get out in the streets with a bunch of people, loudly, if at all possible.

Make signs. Find an Indivisible. Get some friends to come with you.

Don't worry about doing it perfectly.

Just do it. It's that time.
