I am a humanities teacher, a lover of live theater, and unabashedly well-educated, well-traveled, and well-read.
If any of those facts intimidate you, I’m not your Huckleberry.

And the actor who played him, Carol O’Connor, summed up Archie Bunker so damn well, so long ago. Incredible foresight by Rob Reiner 💔…the Archies have nearly destroyed America 50 years later

The GOP doesn't want less spending—they want a smaller pool of RECIPIENTS.
Their goal is to allocate our taxes to the fewest Americans possible & it’s those leeches that are hoarding the benefits of taxation.
Subsidizing their greed instead of using taxes on programs that benefit We, The People. 🧵

Good thing Congress is getting back to the important business of governing!

I LOVE that this woman in Georgia decided to terrorize her neighbors with the Fall Of Democracy and Trump's Ghouls (in poetic detail) instead of your usual demons and monsters.
She said, "It's scary because it's true."
