Turner Classic Movies is resisting today - right now. Keeper of the Flame. It takes a while to get to the point, but this is an amazing anti-fascist movie. So anti-Trump. Huge respect to TCM.

I made this chicken noodle & vegetable soup from scratch down to the broth.

Absolutely shattered. I'm still picking up the pieces.

I won this as a door prize at a postcard GOTV event run by Harris County Dems mailed to low turnout voters. It was a much happier time.

No soup for you, Red Sox! Go #Astros

The GOP is not a good faith partner in governing. They are not on the level. Their stated goals are irrelevant and disconnected to their behavior.

Any Democrat who pretends otherwise is misunderstanding our opposition and not up to what this moment demands.

It’s almost impossible to watch most of the TV coverage of the big awful bill, which treats it like the usual Congressional horse trading rather than an entire party that is fine with destroying America to please Donald Trump in his pursuit of total power.

Majestic!

Bad people know that one way to control people is to make them feel economically uncertain, so more of their time is spent worrying about their own precarity and less on the general welfare and/or what the bad people are doing. There's a reason the current administration is undermining the economy.

RFS feel-good update (5/19): 51 new leaders to love And support

In this week's @runforsomething.net feel-good update: 51 amazing new leaders to love. rfsfeelgoodupdates.substack.com/p/rfs-feel-g...

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.

Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.

Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Reading the new @scalzi.com

When your mom is visiting and massive cleaning is in order, you have Bar Rescue marathon playing to get your sorry, lazy butt in order, and get your sh*t together. Somewhat immaculate home status underway!

It is a great journey. So glad there is a new novel!

Start your Scalzi journey with Starter Villain for cat character nirvana.

You know you live in a sh*thole country when the LEAST illegally unconstitutional thing your government did, before f'n Friday, is massive, blatantly obvious, market manipulatio/insider trading!!!

Hey federal legislators! SHUT IT ALL DOWN TO PREVENT THE SAVE ACT!!

Just today, three next-gen leaders jumped into big races - Mallory McMorrow for Senate in MI, & Jake Rakov and Deja Foxx for US House in CA & AZ. The Democratic Party *will* be changing, whether the leadership & establishment likes it or not.

Fun fact: @runforsomething.net is *still* averaging about 500 new people signing up every single day to consider a run for local office.

So, the plan to "make America great" was to deport hardworking migrants who were paying into the system without receiving benefits and force 14 year kids to work the graveyard shift instead of attending school to fill the job vacancies. Got it.

Chevy Bolt EVs rock.

America is insane right now, so I cook, and that reminds me, I should restart Breaking Bad to help with the insanity.

Make America Great Again; Take Back America = Welcome to White Supremacy. Disgusting and un-American.
