I’ve been many people, done many things. Besides my 30+ yr marriage to Carlton, most proud to have volunteered with the #OneInTeen #LGBTQ youth group in Nashville for 20 yrs. Was also part of #GeeksResist #DemCast prior to being banned from Musk’s Twitter.
A Warning!
Donald Trump began second term—indeed, since his loss in 2020—has shown his willingness to subvert the rules of free & fair elections. He’s used his power to intimidate potential opponents, Democratic donors, and even voters who might oppose him.

"The Fort Leavenworth Installation Warrior Restaurant is closed “until further notice,” base officials announced in a Facebook post. The Warrior Restaurant is the *SOLE* dining facility, or DFAC, on the Kansas base."
Why does the GOP like people going hungry ... oh yeah ... because it is NOT them!

Officials announced that the dining hall on Fort Leavenworth is closed [by the TRUMP Administration] because of the government shutdown ... and the GOP lack of concern about the impact of their policy and their INACTION.

The Courage of Empathy
When times are rough
there's a temptation
to withdraw
to defend
to hoard
in the face of hard
need and uncertainty.
Choosing instead
outstretched hands
in kindness
in generosity
in compassion
to offer empathy
is act of courage.

Get Trump to endorse you.
Now is a great time to acknowledge that people in different parts of the country are going to want to elect different kinds of candidates. Some want moderates, some want farther left. But of course, most lose the nuance of that immediately.

Trump and the GOP don't care what happens to you or your family. Working Americans need Democrats to our ability to afford HEALTHCARE.
A road map is needed to move this country.

AI web browsers are cool, helpful, and utterly untrustworthy
"Unlike traditional web browsers, AI web browsers, thanks to their agentic capabilities and deep data integration, have vastly increased attack surfaces."
"My favorite recent example was the infamous case when Replit’s AI vibe coding assistant deleted a live company database during a code freeze, ignored direct human commands, invented fictitious user data to cover its tracks, and lied about rollback possibilities."

Maybe it's time we rethink just how much we're depending on AI these days, before it blows up in our faces. Just saying!

Trump's America is intended only for the wealthy. The GOP doesn't care what happens to you or your family ... and certainly don't give a sh*t about your low-income neighbors.

There is no legal framework for this that I can think of, but not my area of expertise.
The GOP does not care what happens to you or your family ... don't let this succeed ... because it only get worse from here.

A federal judge appeared to suggest Thursday USDA must use emergency money to partially fund SNAP, days after the Trump administration said it didn't have authority.
The judge plans to rule on a TRO request later today.

Alt text: A post on X (formerly Twitter) by Leor Sapir with a City Journal article preview. The tweet says: “NEW: The Trump administration and Texas are investigating providers who use ‘endocrine disorder’ diagnostic codes to bill for ‘gender-affirming’ procedures. Insurance fraud is serious and brings significant penalties. But there are nuances here.” It includes a City Journal link and embedded post titled “Insurance Fraud Is Widespread in Transgender Medicine,” with a subheadline reading “Evidence of billing fraud is fueling a nationwide probe by the Trump administration.” The preview image shows a close-up of a doctor writing on a clipboard.
There's a concerted push to weaponize medical billing against trans people and their healthcare.
Using alternate billing codes for coverage is ubiquitous across the medical system for all kinds of care. This is not unique to trans healthcare but it's being portrayed as such to target access to it.
A bit of good news.
We will win this fight, if we have the determination and strength to keep up the fight long term and hold fast to the promise of America.
This Anita Bryant wannabe is getting on my last nerve. We will not go back!
She needs to keep her hateful self in South Carolina where some of her constituents may enjoy her Anti-Trans & Anti-LGBTQ+ neanderthal belief system.
The crossing-over from freedom into authoritarianism may be marked not by a single dramatic event but by the slow corrosion of our ruling institutions—and that corrosion is well under way.
