Former attorney for the underserved, now writing business proposals for fun and profit. Here for my rescue dogs and cats. Love to cook.

Sometimes I just like playing it and other times I’m transported to the stories I heard of my mom and dad‘s love story. He loved her fiercely and then died of a heart attack two weeks before I was born. Those times I can’t help but cry a little bit when I hear this song.

David Byrne called it the only true love song he ever wrote. And to that I say: brother, you’ll never need to write another one

Not to mention that we could’ve gotten plenty of diesel fuel-and cheaper, too-without helping Putin kill innocent Ukrainians. But now, the stain of their blood will forever remain on the hands of Trump and his soulless, hypocritical acolytes in the Republican party May they rot in hell

In Hennepin County, which endured some of the most brutal ICE raids and the murder of Renee Good, Hispanic turnout is literally 5x what it was at this point in 2022, and >50% above 2024 at the same point.

If you're in these 3 states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Alaska Rhode Island South Carolina Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check everything is in order. Do it now. And there's a lot to vote for across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

We’re officially a month away from the midterms. Now’s the time for Trump to get out around the country & campaign for Republicans in close races. I suggest he go to TX, OH, MI, GA, NC, SC, ME, IA, AK, KS, MS, & MN. 1/2
