I love basketball, books, movies, nature, travel and dogs. Oh yeah - also hate late stage capitalism, fascism, oligarchs and the death of democracy. RESIST, LIVE, LOVE.

The United States is a pluralistic society, made up of and built by Native Americans, Immigrants, Chattel Slaves and their descendants, and thanks to the 14th Amendment, all who are born here.
That requires us to make room for all faiths, creeds, cultures.

My friend Doug painted this as a memory / keepsake to help me keep my dearly departed best friend Stark close. He doesn’t normally do this kind of painting - check out his work: www.dougvolz.art and please support the arts wherever and however you can!

The most on point “welfare check” I’ve ever seen.
Whose welfare do you care about? Yours and the people? Or the billionaires and corporations? Because it’s a pretty binary choice that’s been forced on us.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is already fulfilling his promises - he’s opening the doors to diversity, equity and inclusion- his entire transition team leadership is composed of women of color who have strong backgrounds in working toward justice and empowerment for marginalized communities.

It was supposed to be a comedy. Political satire. Who knew it would become a documentary?

On this Sunday morning, I’m grateful for all of those Americans who are showing up, speaking up, standing up for each other and for our democracy. As long as I have breath, I’ll be there alongside of you!

I have been re-reading John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.”
For my morning meditation, I’d like to share a few quotes that hit me particularly hard.

Do I have any math or statistics pros as followers that could provide information on the probability of working class Americans becoming millionaires? It’s pretty clear how close we all are to everything from food & housing insecurity to medical bankruptcy. Wondering why so many ignore that

Evidence that our founding fathers were not infallible. The greatest gift they left us was the ability to chart our own course. Are you happy with the direction we are heading?

I’m so grateful for the Dems like @chrismurphyct.bsky.social who aren’t chasing sound bites or click bait, but are actually engaged in the people’s work and fighting to save our democracy.

I had a conversation on here this morning that took me by surprise. I was scolded for not being a good enough progressive to condemn Kamala as being just as bad as Trump.
There IS no equivalence. And to see a so-called progressive argue that there is only served to spotlight why we’re here.

“…respondents include former attorneys general, solicitors general and their deputies in the Justice Department and White House counsels, as well as former U.S. attorneys and retired federal judges from across the country. (…The group is again evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans.)

Clinton’s “third way” politics, “triangulation,” & efforts to move the Democrats more to the center may have fueled economic expansion but it also opened the door to rising inequality and party division. Progressives have to fight to be heard in the party & efforts to win “moderate” R’s wastes time
