Tired old grouch who still believes in the Constitution and equality for all.
Anyone got a copy of the set list from the @hayescarll.bsky.social show in Memphis last night. I really like making a playlist for each concert I attend.

Never forget the true meaning of Halloween:
41 years ago tonight, a boy named Daniel was viciously attacked by a gang of thugs on his way home from a school function.
Had it not been for the bravery of a maintenance man known only as Miyagi, young Daniel would have been killed.

If you were a foreign adversary trying to get the US to cripple itself economically, academically, politically, or public health-wise, is there is a single thing you’d want the GOP to do differently?
Genuinely can’t see it.
Not even suggesting DeSantis is a foreign asset. But he might as well be.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Wow. "Months after law firms made deals with President Trump to ward off punitive executive orders, the ethics committee of the District of Columbia Bar is warning that such arrangements may require firms to drop or obtain waivers from all clients who have interests at odds with the government."

Reminder to everyone donating to food banks in light of the Republicans starving SNAP: It is far more cost effective to donate directly to food banks than to buy food and give it to them. They can buy in bulk and have existing relationships with sellers, so your few bucks go way further that way

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…
The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

When your "law enforcement" plans involve you literally shooting at *multiple* religious leaders, you're on a timer.
Oh wow:
"During the fracas, a federal agent fired a pepper round that struck a (UCC) clergyman, Jorge Bautista, near the chin. The impact caked his face and clothing in orange powder. Bautista said the agent shot him in the face from about 5 feet away."
"'I’m in a lot of pain,'" Bautista texted…"

America has twice rejected our norms and institutions and came close to rejecting them in 2020.
Democrats aren’t likely to win trying to return to 2015.
They have to approach it as FDR did in 1932 acknowledge the system is broke and offer something new that is constitutional.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”
Yesterday I wrote about the effort by center-left pundits to police what people are passionate about.
