Political junkie, Episcopalian, retired science teacher, IRL Libertarian, Meta exile, Ukraine supporter.
When I was a child I thought everyone thought and felt as I did.
When I was a young man I thought all males did.
As I grew older I thought men of my generation.
Now I'm pretty sure that it is just me.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

With Trump as POTUS, “states rights” conservatives have been exposed as thoroughly & completely full of shit. Posers who turtled when their purported pet principle came to their doorstep. Trump tested them, they bowed. Acquiescing to the federal will du jour time & time again. In short: frauds

The response to the murder in Minneapolis makes it clear that the Republican Party must be electorally ripped out down to its roots.

As a Hoosier, I hope that the rejection of the redistricting was because even most Indiana Republicans play fair. However it might also be that they realize that they have a better chance of surviving with the old maps.

I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down

Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

I won't back down! #NoKings

I have spent over 45 years in the Libertarian Party opposing governmental overreach. It has been heart breaking to discover how many people I had considered friends and allies for decades turned out to only oppose overreach by the left.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
