Retired public school teacher, animal lover, rock hound, astronomy, gardener, born in post-war Germany, have been yelling fascism since I first heard an American crowd chant "Lock her up!" #addbirder
Mike Rogers told Michiganders he was an assembly line autoworker who made Chrysler LeBarons. Turns out it was a complete lie. Shameful.
Mike Rogers claims he was an assembly line worker. The UAW said that is stretching the truth. • Michigan Advance
Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.

“It is clear Wilber needs to be in a hospital.” They gave him a pain injection for the first time 1 hour before Rep Casar was scheduled to visit. No matter if you’re native born or immigrant, you deserve appropriate medical care. www.kxan.com/news/texas/c...

You might be surprised to hear me say this, but I think Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party. Just not for the reasons you probably think. He has a sharp strategic mind and the credibility to say uncomfortable truths to his own people and be heard rather than exiled.
The temerity, irony, hypocrisy, stupidity, and arrogance should have ended the run of this 🍊🤡💩🎪 a long time ago.
I hope Zohran Mamdani thanked Benjamin Netanyahu for his UN speech, which only made Mamdani more likable. Even a gift basket would be nice.
