As angry as I am, I NEVER forget my privileged and largely immune situation.
Good night and best wishes.

Sweet Jesus.
Let us at least write the history after democracy crumbles.

Yeah, well you can take me off the list.

If you’re unfamiliar with Bill Kristol, read his Wiki entry.

Agree completely. My only issue was the truthfulness of the details, e.g., dragging Greta by her hair. I don’t share what I can’t verify.

Genuinely incredible how unprofessional these guys are. One dude yelling in your face and you immediately assault them on camera?

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term.

Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times.

Never delivered one.

Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure.

Now Russ Vought is taking that away.

But only in blue states.

They get emergency care for two reasons.
One, because we’re not supposed to be an evil shithole country.
Two, because Reagan signed the bill into law.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

Ignorant, old man here.
But our demand for AI via a phone question, doesn’t show up on our bill.
So, our questions light up their servers, and use electricity, whose rates are … complicated

Another equally important option is to stay and fight.
If we give him vacancies, he’ll elevate fascists.

It was incredibly difficult to watch.
I’m 70 years old.
My dad was a career Sergeant Major, buried at Fort Moore (Benning).
I weep for our democracy.
But I protest in our streets.

I protested solo last Saturday, in a small Southern town.
We’re winning. We are.

Yup. I’m 70.
If this is the hill we die on, so be it.
I’ll be back protesting on Saturday.
