LIVE in Tuscon.
I volunteered with the Bernie 2016 campaign, and like so many felt hope rise again in 2020 like I have never felt in my lifetime.
I will never forget the day this was taken.
Maybe the seeds needed time and a bunch of bad shit to go down to take root.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Yes. I don't think I have ever heard a Republican speak on "reaching across the aisle" while Dems use the slogan as if it's a positive.
We all know this doesn't work.

there is a bizarre consensus among "liberal" intellectual and political elites that we must assume Republicans are acting in good faith despite decades of evidence to the contrary
Cool cool. @durbin.senate.gov, @amyklobuchar.com @klobuchar.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov are looking to team up with MAGA to give Donald Trump the power to censor anything he wants on the Internet.
Do they not recognize what will happen?

If you're looking to transition your cat to indoor-only due to H1N1, great! There are many other benefits, too. But it may not go well if you just shut them in and call it a day, you need to commit to giving them an enriched indoor environment with lots of play. felineengineering.com/blog/indoor-...
