Retired after 47 years as an engineering and capital project manager. Grandfather, father and husband. California native and proud Democrat! 77 years old and not giving up yet on freedom for everyone. Apologies for my language in advance - I'm angry!
Pinned

This is where I stand!
Trying to remenber when gas stations starting asking for my ID in order to fill my tank up. Or when grocery stores asked for it when I bought eggs.

Oh yeh - Never!

He is clearly the dumbest POTUS EVER!

What a traumatic read.

A remarkably courageous and resilient woman who suffered unspeakable horrors long before Epstein even came along and devoted much of her final decade reliving them, time after time, in search of justice.

At least she lived to see Maxwell imprisoned.

Release those files.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Netanyahu and his heart right coalition don't really ever want peace with Palestine. They need a perpetual opponent in order to stay in power forever. And we need to stop providing them with the weapons and money to do so!

Another dumb idea from POTUS 50 year mortgages.

Never forget!
Never forgive!
Trump invited the mob, encouraged the mob to fight like hell, and sat for three plus hours watching them riot in our capital while he did nothing!
And then he pardoned the insurgents and called them patriots.
He is a TRAITOR!
🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

I just finished listening to Joyce Vance's "Giving Up Is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy"! It is really good!
She clearly explains the current situation and ways we can fight back! (bsky.app/profile/joyc...)
There are a lot of intelligent people nere who are making a difference

The chance that the GOP votes for ACA subsidies = ZERO!
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

When the House is back in session and mikie has to swear in Adelita Grijalva Then the Epstein Files fight will really get heated!

We all need to stay engaged and continue the Resistance.

"It aint over till it's over!'
I’m sad and I’m furious. The Senate voted to reopen without securing healthcare protections. Millions still stand to lose coverage.

The fight shifts to the House now. There are cracks. Pressure matters. If you’re in a GOP district, call your Rep.

And the corruption just keeps going!
This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.

And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?

Take a bow, @schumer.senate.gov, you did this.

Sycophant at presidential idolatry service. This is what they do in public view. You can imagine how much worse it gets in private!

8 Democrats just kicked the problem out 82 days. In 82 days the fight will be just as painful.But you gave yhe GOP andTrump the advantage. Shame on them!
They betrayed so many for so little! They capitulated and nothing was actually improved. They got temporary promises that will not be delivered!
I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.

Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

We will not forget these quislings! They have sold out to the worst deal ever. They think they are save but we will never forget they failed to take a stand when it mattered the most! Cowards!
