Baby boomer radicalized by the Birmingham Sunday School bombing, Kent State Ohio shooting, and the Philadelphia bombing of the Africa family. Love for dogs, birdwatching, fishing, card games, and puzzles.

Do Nothing Dems at it again. Never fail to live up to their Jackass symbolism.
They're all hoping that someone else can do the hard work so that their hands are clean when everything settles down. What they seem unwilling to comprehend is that if none of them do anything, it's not ever going to settle down.

So true! Whatever you want to call it-fascism, dictator, authoritarianism – it’s here NOW! Time to fight! Time to win!
The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.
WASHINGTON (AP) — South Carolina, Ohio also sending National Guard troops to DC in further escalation of federal intervention in Dem city.

The American military should not be used against the American people—period. Trump’s takeover of D.C. puts every single one of us in harm's way. Add your name to the petition to protect our communities NOW! sign.moveon.org/petitions/dc...
No federal militarized takeover of our nation's capital!

imo a big problem right now is the fetishism for proper procedure that grips so many left-of-center elites, which leads them to believe that the only way to resist is lawsuits. sooner or later someone must realize that you have to simply refuse (or give a countermanding order) and face trump down

@gillibrandny As your constituent I urge you to vote YES on the #EqualityAct. Federal law does not fully protect our #LGBTQ+ loved ones, who can still be excluded from access to public services, public education, public spaces, jury duty, and more. Please pass the #EqualityAct!
