I been living with MS since 1987.

I'm off-the-charts lucky with my health and can still ride a bike.

On Sunday, I'll be riding in BikeMS NYC.

This is my 54th BikeMS Event.

I'm very close to raising $5,000. Can anyone help close the gap?

Someone please explain to me:

Why is MAGA anti-Anti-Fascists?
Why is MAGA anti-Free Speech?
Why is MAGA anti-Free and Fair Elections?

MAGA is willing to destroy our great American ideals just so they can hold onto power. By "they" I mean white, Christian men.

Oh, the answer is in the question...

Maybe someone should tell her that there is no Democrat Party.

Every fucking Republican starts off with insulting the Democratic Party by refusing to call it by its name

Donald Trump is deploying troops against Americans

Taking healthcare away from millions of Americans

Unilaterally canceling programs-funded by Congress-which Americans desperately need, because he wants to hurt his opponents

And Democrats will not agree to pay for ANY of it

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

REPUBLICANS:
Stop calling everyone you disagree with a NAZI!
Calling people Nazis is hateful and divisive!
Oh, I guess EVERYONE is a Nazi now!???
Using the term Nazi is offensive to everyone who suffered
You're just watering down the word Nazi and that's so problematic

REPUBLICAN LEAKED CHAT (ACTUAL TEXTS):
I love Hitler
room 1488
Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber
*Hey, come on in. Take a nice shower and relax®.
*. Boom - they're dead
expecting the Jew to be honest
watermelon people
fat stinky Jew
I'm ready to watch people burn
Stay in the closet f*ggot
Can we fix the showers?
Gas chambers don't fit the Hitler aesthetic

Trump will send in goons to start trouble.

Do not engage. Move away as quickly as you can.

Expect False Flag actions.

Neither my children nor any of their friends would speak that way today or when they were kids.

There is no excuse for this. JD Vance is a piece of shit for defending them in any way. This unconditional support for MAGA no matter what they do is Un-American.

Admit when you're wrong!

I'll be riding in the NYC BikeMS tour to help find cure for Multiple Sclerosis

I've had MS since 1987 & I'm off-the-charts lucky.
By my age, 70% or more have significant disability.

I'll be riding until we find a cure.

Please help with even a few $$ ❤️
