Concerned and curious citizen. Arts, tech, the environment. Hoping to still have hope. Trying to remain hopeful during the worst year of my life, loss of brother (heart attack) in May, then hubby got cancer in June, died in August. Empath, old school. 💙

It's a fuck you to everyone who showed up for No Kings. It's a fuck you to every Democrat that voted on Tuesday.
Fuck @schumer.senate.gov and any Dem senator who caves to the madman in the WH and his band of creeps. Just burning with rage right now.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Of the many readings and adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic moody-broody poem “The Raven,” none is more fun than The Simpsons’, in which Lisa Simpson’s intro transitions into the reading voice of James Earl Jones and the slapstick interjections of Homer as Poe’s avatar and Bart as the titular bird.
