I’m a teacher, writer, dog-lover, musical theater aficionado, and die-hard democrat. My humor helps me cope with the horror unfolding in our nation. Well, that and various substances.

Yes, by definition, government control of industry is part of socialism. But what if that government openly favors the rich over the masses and is rapidly goose-stepping toward authoritarianism? That is not socialism.

I thought the Morning Joe team was very short sighted this morning, supporting the Guard in D.C. The potential for it to turn into an autocratic takeover are too high.

Unregulated AI is dangerous. The frantic rush to incorporate AI into everything is dangerous. Believing the tech bro assholes who try to scare us that China will get ahead of us so we shouldn’t be prudent and cautious is dangerous.

Am I the only one skeptical about the recent jobs report? How am I to believe anything that comes out of a corrupt, deceitful administration?

I am frustrated by the YouTube tutorials for apps on my iPhone. Invariably, when the instructor say, “Open the app and you should see a screen like this,” I open the app, and I have a completely different screen and no idea how to find the one they’re displaying.

Lisa Murkowski is pleased because she saved her state from some of the horrors of the new bill. If she’d just voted against it, she could’ve saved all the states from all the horrors.

Okay. Now I’m afraid there might not be a midterm election. We’re just one pair of ripped panties away from getting fucked.

I wrote this 20 years ago and the song seems very timely, especially on the eve of the nationwide No Kings protests. If you like it, pass it on. We must go out among the dragons.

The Latino handyman, who worked with my super, deported himself out of fear - a shame because he was a nice, hardworking guy. The lady who lives below me gasped, “Oh no, that’s terrible” when she heard the news. The lady who lives below me is a Republican poll watcher. Crocodile tears.

When Trump said it, he’d falsified tax records, incited an insurrection, stolen classified documents, and tried to rig the 2020 election.

If you respect the office of the President then you must expose those who don’t belong in it. If it sends shivers down your spine, Gavin, then we should know about it.

There are 5 Republican U.S. senators who are not Christian and 1 who is Black. Just where do they think they’ll wind up if they vote Trump’s White Christian dictatorship into being? Maybe Trump didn’t actually say it, but [many] Republicans are stupid.
