Reese Ryan

Once I recognized that I was physically tired, mentally exhausted, and on the verge of burnout, I realized I needed to make some changes. Here's what I'm doing to recharge for the long road ahead.

Okay, this is hilarious and not entirely wrong. LOL

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

JUST IN: 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' wins the Emmy for Best Talk Series

This song will always be tops on the list.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

We've been married forever at this point. But I remember those early days. I'm like we're really watching Columbo, Murder She Wrote, or Diagnosis Murder and going to sleep by 10 PM? LOL.

Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

For sure. LOL.

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 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

When you just got a brace for your meniscus tear in the right knee. But then you feel a pop in that "good" knee. *sigh*

One of the best meals I had when I was vegan was a cauliflower steak meal at a vegan restaurant.
