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.

We started doing goat-milk soft food lunch to address an health issue.

After 3 weeks, lunch became 'elevenses'
Now my 2 cats start circling my desk at 9:30.
And around 10:30 they start taking turns walking across my keyboard ... just in case I hadn't noticed them.

Under English law is it legal to kill project managers who slide a 4pm friday meeting into your calendar on a sunny summer day?

I vaguely remember something about it being okay as long as i use a longbow.

Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), the SCOTUS that upheld the internment of Japanese Americans. The decision has been widely criticized, with scholars describing it as "a stain on American jurisprudence". The case is often cited as one of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time.

NYTimes Rips Supreme Court For 'Ducking' Core Responsibilities During Trump's Second Term in Scathing Analysis The New York Times' editorial board ripped the Supreme Court for "ducking" their core responsibilities over the course of President Donald Trump's second term.

Supreme Court has summarily used "emergency" rulings to lift many of lower-court pauses on Trump policies such as firing federal Democratic regulators with no cause... These rulings don't outright declare Trump's actions legal, but effectively say he can go ahead.

"...upon closer inspection, Trump’s trade deals aren’t nearly as impressive as they sound. In fact, they aren’t really trade deals in the traditional sense, and they might not benefit the U.S. at all...But the details of the deals, which remain sparse, tell a very different story."

So, About Those Big Trade Deals If you read the fine print, the “concessions” from America’s trade partners don’t add up to much.

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

I’m not afraid.

I’m mad as fuck.

For so many years this country fucked up. The persecution of the black community, the brown community, the Asian community, the indigenous community, the gay community.

Now? The assholes are in charge.

This isn’t a democracy. It’s open season on all of us!

DEMOCRATS‼️

If you’re worried about fighting dirty, remember this—extreme partisan gerrymandering in North Carolina handed Republicans three extra seats and control of the House in 2024.

Fighting fire with fire is long overdue.

Texas is the next battleground in the Republican war on democracy, and their gerrymandering scheme could have far-reaching consequences for the House majority.

Share if you agree with Gov. Newsom that we need to fight FIRE with FIRE.

Democrats didn't start this FIGHT, but for the nation, we must use every tool available to WIN this war.

Blue states can no longer sit idly by as MAGA Republicans try to rig the rules.

It’s time for blue states to take the gloves off.

A 6-year-old with leukemia missed his doctor’s appointment after ICE arrested his mom, sister & him at immigration court.

They've now spent nearly a month detained, as his mother watches his health worsen in the Dilley facility, per a lawsuit.

Appalling!

WATCH: “The notion that arrests are going on by masked people is mind-boggling.”

NASHVILLE’s metro council just passed a resolution calling on Tennessee state lawmakers to pass the @brotherjones.bsky.social bill requiring law enforcement to ID themselves and not wear masks.
