Semi-Retired and WOKE. Unusual for SC…
Graduated HS in ‘71, drew a “361” (of 365) in the draft lottery so too late to be drafted for Vietnam. I am concerned about climate change and equality along with responsible and legit government.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

Kim Davis is so angry that the Supreme Court failed to uphold her deeply held religious belief that "marriage is sacred," she's threatening to get three MORE divorces.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Go Marc! and thanks for ALL your efforts.
Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

The ACA bought us a decade+ to figure out how to transition from private health insurance to a stable, sustainable system.
Republicans spent the entire time trying to go back to before America's private insurance system nearly collapsed.

The people arresting these hardworking men have never known real “labor” like these innocents being detained. Just because you were born on one side of a border does not make you right. CBP/ICE are perpetrators of oppression, abuse, and crimes against humanity.

...and rolls back critical environmental laws like ESA and NEPA. Tell your US senators to vote NO on this gift to the logging industry. @earthjustice.org makes it easy to raise your voice: earthjustice.org/action/this-.... It takes just minutes to save our forests for generations. 🌎
Tell Congress to reject efforts to clear-cut our forests
This bill is supposedly a measure against wildfires but it really weakens environmental protections for our forests and communities

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in MN is one of our most treasured landscapes. Each year, 150,000 people visit its vast network of pristine forests and >1,000 lakes. Trump now plans to revoke a 20-year mining ban and to site a sulfide-ore copper mine at Boundary Waters' headwaters.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The Shutdown was just another Mafia Don “shake down” with Americans seriously impacted - “if we do or if we don’t “… (which is usually key to a shake-down)….
Americans suffered. Billionaires got exactly what they wanted.
