Character matters. Integrity matters. Ethics matter. All humans matter. Be kind. A left of center voter with a desire to uphold the values enshrined in the constitution. Attorney for large public agency in CA. Been serving the public for over 25 years.

The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.

from job listing:

As the Director of Anti-Extremism, a typical day might include…

Assembling and updating a database of the DSA’s most extreme ideas and statements and a repository of voting records, affiliations, and issue positions to make available to allies and partners;
Leading public opinion research to identify and test the contrasts that move base voters away from these extreme candidates;
Overseeing the development of memos, talking points, rapid response materials, and other products that make the case against these extreme forces in American politics;
Promoting and marketing our research and materials to ensure they reach decisionmakers quickly, repeatedly, and at scale through a coordinated distribution infrastructure;
Recruiting and arming a group of young, diverse spokespeople to fight the DSA from a center-left perspective and assembling a broad coalition of organizational partners to make the case against extremism;
Running an earned media program to create a drumbeat of our message in op-eds, television appearances, podcasts, and traditional and digital media engagement.

"Released in 1985 and written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, "We Are The World" united top music stars for a global mission. Beyond its harmonies, this powerful humanitarian anthem served as a call to action, sparking cross-generational empathy and raising vital aid for those in need."

Sometimes it’s difficult to imagine a way out of this disaster of an Administration. But the solution is simple. Vote as if your life and the lives of your children depend on it. Because they do. We won’t have a country worth fighting for unless we vote Blue up and down the ballot

They called lesbians a “menace” because they couldn’t handle women who refused to be erased.💥 So the Lavender Menace took the insult, wore it proudly, and changed feminism forever. 💜 Turns out the real threat was women who knew their power. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍 #SheShed

An incredible cover by Norwegian Jørgen Dahl Moe. Right down to the very last beautiful note. I think Bruce Springsteen would approve 100%. Hope he has heard this. I keep playing over and over. Enjoy!

Getting tired of constant coverage of Graham Platner coverage. Seriously. He dropped out of the race. Move on. Do we need to keep bashing him and his video ? How does that help the people of Maine?

The arrogance, entitlement, and disdain of the GOP for the average American is breathtaking. What should be shameful and hidden is "in your face" now. With smirks at no extra cost.
