VT’er, voracious reader. I enjoy an exchange of ideas and especially practical, solution focused ones.
I do not support DT or Maga at all. I am not selling anything. I am not famous. Sales people need not apply.
Anyone else please do!

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

A woman’s right to vote, inviolable for 105 years, right? Reminder, 2016 Republican Convention Speaker Abby Johnson, supported Household Voting w/the one household vote belonging to men. The same Christian Nationalist agenda is supported by Hegseth. But hey, like Roe, that won’t ever change, right?
