I love life! And I'm making a choice to do what I can instead of always yelling about injustice without offering suggestions and solutions for change, which comes in small increments. We started down this path with Reagan's first election 45 years ago.
They're at it again in Kansas. We just went through this shit in 2020 with Vote No, in which the pro-birth lobby tried to outlaw abortion in Kansas to the same extent that they have done in Texas. Now there's TWO issues to VOTE NO! on in 2026. Ugh

This writer, Robert Hubbell, gives me hope. He's realistic. Yet he remains hopeful and even, dare I say, optimistic.

I heard this on Fresh Air tonight. It's an interview (done earlier today 4.22.25) with Steven Levitsky, Harvard Prof of Govt. It's worth the 45 min listen.

Man, when you quit a good job because your boss's Idiocracy brings you to disbelief and you know challenges your morals and ethics; especially as a professional in your profession. Who would want his name as a boss on their resume?

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

#truth Musk has 12 kids with 3 different women. He's a fucking asshole who's now basically the President. And I don't understand their "dancing" (if you wanna call it tthat, to what literally IS the definitive Gay Anthem when they hate everyone who doesn't fit into their narrow boxes.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.
