Liberal Democrat, politics junkie. I believe in freedom for all, human rights, and oppose the fascist takeover of our country. I’m a Husband, dog dad, photographer, gamer, home brewer, fiber artist, Gen X’er 🏳️‍🌈💙🇺🇸 🌊 ♈️

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

BREAKING: Colombian President Gustavo Petro uses his UN speech to call for a full CRIMINAL investigation into Trump, citing his illegal and murderous military strikes on Venezuelan ships in the Caribbean.👏 I fully support this. 🇨🇴🇻🇪

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

- He signed an executive order labeling “antifa” a domestic terrorist organization, a category that doesn’t even exist under U.S. law. Anti-fascism, like fascism itself, is a broad political stance, not an official group that can be banned.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

Here’s an idea. The west has held about $300 billion in Russian assets. They should release 2 billion a day to Ukraine until Russia stops the war, or they disperse it all. Then Russia will have to accept the war has an additional real cost per day

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.
