Housing as a human right too. Last time I looked shelter was pretty high on the hierarchy of needs and climate change will make it even more so.

Kraft hates Trump's guts but apparently reached out to him again this year. Rich people kowtowing to Donnie is bizarre. What good is all that money if you can't tell a fascist to f off?

Trump spent more than four times that on golf trips in nine months.

I was offered nothing to address a No Kings rally. I have another event that day and can't make it, but I assure you, nobody is getting so much as gas money to speak at these.

I used OC spray ONCE in my entire career when a dog was biting me. That stuff is nasty and always blows back on you. Using as much as they are around so many people is assault.

I turned 40 around when Obama was sworn in and don't think I look as worn out as Miller.

Oh my God. Brent is going to be about as popular as a diseased rat in Fulton county tonight.

The rightwing propaganda machine is bizarrely announcing over and over that Trump LOST the Nobel Peace Prize. This is truly a first in the prize's history, which previously only had winners.

& I'm 12 years older than Pete and don't have wrinkles like he does...but I am almost nine years clean and sober and use SPF 70.

Switching to elder abuse cases from state policing was the best move. I'm away from these sorta little man complex douchebags who infest the entire profession from towns to the feds.

Jesus did have a meltdown against the money changers and many special interests...but he was highly social and even laid hands on people and washed their feet. I wouldn't even let mall workers spray cologne on me, and Jesus let a lady dump a bottle of perfume on his head. Neurodivergent? Nah.

My grandpa and the Super Sixth had to smash down the gates of facilities like the ones we allow ICE to run on our own country.
