Since I spend tomorrow's holiday in my home, hiding from free appetizers, figured I'd share as I head off to bed. This is my Veterans Day song. Has been for a long time. Happy your day, brothers and sisters. May it be a peaceful one.

We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

When I was an armed courier, we were told that this is a felony in Oregon. Most states have laws against menacing or unlawful use of a weapon, was my understanding. Local PD and state agencies should apprehend agents who do this.

Uncle Sam's Misguided Children are very special to me. Happy birthday, devil dogs. Try not to binge on Crayons and bug juice.

Berlin Philharmonic, October 2015, Sir Simon Rattle conducting Beethoven's Eight and Sixth Symphonies. A few more lines and a lot more concerns 10 years later, but this is us, married, after 15 years together. Take that, Kim Davis. #gaymarriage

So, um, I'm given to understand that accepting a pardon is an "admission of guilt," according to Supreme Court precedent. So, that's going to play well in the state courts that have cases pending for the seditionists who tried to overthrow our democracy, I'd imagine.

I am so happy for many of my friends and their spouses. I'm also so fucking tired of their rights being challenged by the worst people in the world.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

It's okay, everyone. About 30% of federal employees are Veterans. We're used to our sacrifices meaning nothing to the power elite. The extra kick in the balls of it being on the day before Veterans Day just really drives home the fuck-your-feelings message from the Democratic Party.

I'm a healthcare analyst for a very large government homeless program. I want to be very clear that pricing people out of ACA insurance plans will kill them. Decades of studies indicate that connection to primary care saves lives (and saves us all money, if the whole SAVES LIVES isn't enough).
Lifesaving Care
More primary care physicians could mean gains in life expectancy, fewer deaths.

Dunno, guys. I kind of trust Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. If she sent that SNAP case back to a lower court, I have faith that it was the best decision she could make in a terrible situation. I'm not a lawyer, but I do think she's on the side of justice.

Oh, shit. Chuck Schumer is trending, which can only mean that he's convinced enough Democrats that #NoKings and last Tuesday's elections were calls to cave to Trump.

Please help me amplify this story. A 13 year old child abducted and forced to self deport is horrific and I fear not enough people know this is happening.
A few weeks ago I wrote about a 13 year old boy from Massachusetts who had been abducted by ICE and sent to a detention center in Virginia. I wrote about the trauma of a child being separated from his family and community, and I posed the question:
What are we doing here?
I have some updates.

Michael Stackpole and Matt Stover introduced me to the Nero Wolfe books. I now own all of them and reread them fairly regularly. Each book is a time capsule, as the series spans 40 years in which the world changes drastically, but the main cast doesn't. It's like a longitudinal sociology study.
Started watching The Nero Wolfe Mysteries, a 2001 A&E TV version starring Maury Chaykin and Timothy Hutton. It's good! I love period TV.
