I always considered myself a libertarian politically, but voted for democrats mostly.
I will vote for anyone who can win against MAGA candidates until MAGA is no longer a thing, or until I am dead, whichever comes first.

The admin really really is invested in killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
I know Trump won’t be alive in 30 years to see the consequences, but my sons and grandkids will be.
And we are letting it happen.
History will show us as the idiots we are.

Still here. Still mildly annoyed at being added to skywatch blue’s follow-farming moderation list.
Still watching baseball! Tho SAD that my Yankees showed so poorly post-season!
And I just want LA to lose now.

Meanwhile, I am enjoying the MLB season via the MLB network app on my FireStick, and going to games when I can. This is me surrounded by 2 of my sons and 1 of my daughters-in-law, at Target Field last Sunday:

I suck at all this; but am doing it because that turned a $20K project into an $8K project, and we only had 2 bathrooms with bathtubs w showerheads. I am getting ready to need a handicap-accessible shower in however many years it takes for that to be a thing. Plus, I will enjoy it once it is done.
I am working on drywall in one of our 2 bathrooms, and also the ceiling. We gutted it, had a plumber redo the pipes that will go to the new toilet, pedestal sink, and walk-in shower, and I need to do the ceiling, walls, floor, closet, mirror, and trim before I have them put in those fixtures.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE.
Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings.
This mess is escalating fast.

Immigration court arrests continued across the nation yesterday (and are likely ongoing today).
Yesterday, in NYC, 30 ICE officers swarmed the immigration court, holding lists of names of people to arrest. All were dutifully attending their immigration hearings and many had pending asylum claims.

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth.

I am still following politics & doing what I can (boycott participation, etc); but still pretty burned out.
So baseball spring training is rolling, and I need that bit of joy and relief!
Switching my focus for a bit!

So proud of Noah, the 5th of our 6 sons!
If you like rap, you’ll like the whole album if you keep in mind that it starts with hopelessness & addiction and the tracks move through that chaos & disorder to “hitting bottom” & his intent to stop drinking & using, then to that difficulty, & to recovery.

It has been a week since I released the album 3 places (Spotify/AppleMusic/Youtube) & I really appreciate the feedback & follows on those platforms & here.
Reminder that it tells the story of my descent into #addiction & my #recovery that has so far been sustained. Don’t abandon hope.

So where do we all get our main news?
I am trying to limit how much I see, because I do not want to die prematurely of the high blood pressure it stirs up in me.
I look at Apple News.
I am watching Rachel Maddow on MSNBC right now. I am glad she is back (for a while.)
