Day dreaming from the back porch about beer & history infused travel through England, retired Air Force, fan of English beer, travel, making plans for retirement but may have to rise up and retake the country from bigots and facists.

Just down from the Grass Market and when I popped in for a night cap, I was met with this gem. So many top pubs in that city.

Isaiah put his body on the line to call out Greg Abbott and Donald Trumpβs illegal power grab. Dragged to the ground in our state capitol for demanding fair maps. Thatβs courage.

Keep your eye on this.
I live in Charlotte NC but if you could go knock on my moms door in Reese MI, and tell her, that her son sent you and that the GOP is destroying everything that allowed us to take care of my dad in his last days, thatβd be great. Also, go kick Rogers ass!

Oh the humanity of it all!!!
Since 2002, 187,000 birthright citizens and immigrants have served in the US military. 254βish died in the line of duty. Iβm sure numerous of them also retired, along with those that collect disability, use benefits, are also subject to removal? Itβs all fucking bullshit.
