This person is an embarrassment to our country. He is not a leader. He’s a bitter, power-hungry egomaniac.

I don’t have PTSD, but I know of plenty who do and this time of year is a trial for them. This is a great org and a much better cause than setting off mortars in your neighborhood random hours of the night so toss a few bucks their way.

This Fourth of July I’m going to ignore the noise and be proud to serve an organization that serves the women and men who have given so much of themselves to serve our country. Check out Project Healing Waters. We’re giving away a boat! www.instagram.com/p/C869luHMWs...

He literally says he doesn’t like democracy. So there’s that.

I find it hard to convey my contempt for this. (And I am not normally into contempt.) All smugness, no actual argument. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/04/o...

Opinion | Why I Don’t Votewww.nytimes.com If casting a ballot is merely expressive, then the same is true of not casting one.

This is what I need. I also heard a commentator point out that instilling fear and chaos in opposition is a hallmark of fascism. We can’t fall prey to that as we head to November.

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️

It’s a lovely cool mountain night in the 40s, perfect for sleeping with the window open. That is why I was sleeping so soundly—until about 3 am when a coyote got sprayed by a skunk about 20 yards from the house and Birdie went bananas

This is my rxn every time I hear someone say “but the same rules will apply when Dems have power.” They intend to wrest control of our government from the majority of voters and establish a minority-controlled far-right govt that won’t abide peaceful transition to officials with whom they disagree

these people do not intend to ever lose power again

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.
