I love basketball, books, movies, nature, travel and dogs. Oh yeah - also hate late stage capitalism, fascism, oligarchs and the death of democracy. RESIST, LIVE, LOVE.
I’m not usually a “keyboard warrior,” - I’m a firm believer in direct nonviolent action & appreciate the work of all who organize in person campaigns, protests, rallies, & strikes, but this is a very simple way to make your voice heard. Please join me in signing this petition:

John Roberts. Mitch McConnell. Mike Johnson. They co-own the destruction of our democracy degradation of decency, erosion of the rule of law, impairment of our institutions and rise of fascism. History will not forget.

LETS HELP HER WIN
Whether @aftynbehn.bsky.social is able to pull this off or not, America owes her a debt of gratitude for reminding us that our fight is not over & victory is just a belief away & requires organizing & people power to overcome the machine of money, corruption & greed that runs our politics today.
Could a Democrat win a US House seat that backed Trump in 2024 by 22 points. New polling says Democrat Aftyn Benn has made it a 46D/48R race. She explains to The Nation why an upset is possible.

I am so damned tired of having to deal with the hateful, petty minded, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, & purely evil nature of Trump and his entire sycophantic administration and the GOP that empowers them. They are the worst of humanity and call on others to join them. We need leaders who
Trump has never once in his life extemporaneously used the phrase "western civilization." He was once asked about western liberalism and thought they were talking about California Democrats. One of the more blatant tells for a Miller-written screed.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

Feeding America is a massive national organization with more than 600 employees that distributes more than 4 BILLION pounds of food to hungry Americans a year. I personally do not begrudge them or her for this salary.

Having said that, I focus my own giving on my local food bank. They need it more
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Trump's secretary of transportation Sean Duffy is scolding Americans to "dress professionally" for holiday travel at airports and such.

Democratic lawmakers, this is said in love: if you're not mocking these assholes relentlessly over this, then what are we even doing here?

E Puribus Unum. Out of many, one.

The United States is a pluralistic society, made up of and built by Native Americans, Immigrants, Chattel Slaves and their descendants, and thanks to the 14th Amendment, all who are born here.

That requires us to make room for all faiths, creeds, cultures.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.
