Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It really sucks that school starts next week for us. Remember when school went from Labor Day to Memorial Day?? I want that summer again.

I find it annoying when I am reading a book that is set in the UK (& the characters are British), but they speak like they are American.

Prepare yourselves for scenes of Trump agents roughing up *citizens* in the streets of DC this week.

America will look like Russia in the eyes of the world once Trump issues his takeover-by-force order in a capital city where crime is actually plummeting, not rising.

Heโ€™s sick.

Watched Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan on Netflix, & my god, what an incredible man he was. I never knew how much he used his show to try to end the idiocy of racism. I can't help but think he would be so disappointed in America right now.

Friends โ€” I'm going on a tour in support of my new book, "Coming Up Short." More events and cities will be added, but here's a short list of what's been announced so far.

Iโ€™m promising myself this is my last book tour. (Of course, I made the same promise with the last book.)

Hope to see you there.

I have a chronic condition. I also have health insurance.

One treatment is $3500. My portion is $2000. If I werenโ€™t insured, the cash price for the procedure would be $1000. But, since I have insurance, I donโ€™t qualify for the cash price.

Health insurance is a fucking scam.

Okay. Name the names then. *All* of them. We already know the magat cult won't gaf to see trump is all over the place on the Epstein files, but as a Dem I want the names so we can clean our own damn house.

I don't disagree, but I think I would way some people *won't* change, mostly because they either don't want to put in the work or they don't see anything wrong with their actions.

I like to sit outside in the morning before it gets ungodly hot & today I was greeted with a cloud that (kind of) looks like a heart with an arrow going through it. ๐Ÿ’˜ I hope everyone has a lovely day. ๐Ÿ’™

What happens if you donโ€™t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

Yep. It took me over 30 years to realize just how effed up things that happened to me when I was a child were. Almost a decade later, it still makes me very, very angry at them that my childhood & who I might have been was completely robbed. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’™
