Advice to all those who try to follow me but have no picture, no background pic, no bio, and no posts. You look like a bot. Innocuous bios won't cut it. Go fix your profile and tell us who you are. I will ignore you if I have to assume you're a bot.
No matter what, Aftyn Behn came close enough to winning to prove what is possible.

Me too. I miss dignity, courtesy, etc.
I miss having an actual president.

Occasionally I take note of all the people spouting hateful bigotry and I am disappointed. I'm old enough to remember when the 21st century was supposed to usher in an age of peace and brotherhood. My fellow boomers and hippies: WTF? We burned our bras and weed.

Costco is now one of the largest companies to sue the Trump administration over tariffs, hoping to secure a refund if the Supreme Court declares the new import duties illegal.
Thank you Ron Vachris, CEO of Costco 👏

"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"

I have a theory to "explain but not excuse" Trump's recent verbal abuse. The mask is slipping because of his heart. I have seen several relations in the latter stages of heart failure. All of them turned mean and volatile, even the sweetest. I think his heart is failing.

Why does the press bother to go to the pressers held by Carolying Leavitt? I think it would make quite the impression if the bullsheet never was published.

(Evil smile) I have lots of stories to tell my grandchildren, and the wisdom to know they'll make their own mistakes.

In the late 80's and early 90's, I watched helplessly as many friends died because of #HIV. I have not forgotten holding the weak discolored hands. The stigma killed them faster than the virus.

Good morning! Today is World AIDS Day.
Today is about honoring those we've lost, uplifting those living with HIV, and standing firmly for science, equity, and truth -- even when others step back. ❤️🩹

I did the math. I have already paid twice the original amount of my student loan. I'm now retired on just Social Security.

IJS that the MAGATS aren't hurt enough yet. They haven't had to cancel Christmas. They haven't yet driven an hour to the ER, only to get a half-million dollar bill for a broken arm. Until they can't ignore the pain, they will make excuses. Here kitty 🐆. Eat more faces. Make it hurt.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

So proud of myself. I have been making holiday presents, but this depleted my stash and I ran out. Today DR and I hit a thrift store and scored big for under $35 and because it's a local thrift store, I kept my blackout pledge.

Turning a blind eye means you live with the knowledge that you enabled them. Silence equals consent.
I. Do. Not. Consent, and neither should you.
