Photography - books - gardening. I wanted this account to be about photos, native plants, and good things to read. But democracy is in trouble, so it’s just politics. Sorry!

Economic blackout - no Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping. No Amazon. Shop local and small or not at all. Spend time, not money this year!

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

I think this may have been the most people we had from Maury County join a canvass in a while!! We had at least a dozen people go up to Franklin to help with the Day of Action yesterday. We are building a foundation for future success in TN-5 next year as well as helping win TN-7 on Tuesday.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America.
There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

I agree. Purity tests destroy solidarity. Kelly is smart and can read the handwriting on the wall. The Democrats have to move past Schumer and his priorities. The Mamdani election--a third of NYC Jewish voters supported him--should be an indication that it's time for a more nuanced position.
