Aging colourfully. Worried about the planet, humanity, democracy, in fact civilisation itself. Happy long term relationship, please don't follow if you're only looking for one! No DMs. 🚫
I'm really disappointed in the quality of produce these days in supermarkets. I understand that they have to make a profit but I'd rather they were honest about reducing sizes or availability rather than using poor ingredients or sourcing lower quality.
If the machines are down at your polling place, you're entitled to a paper ballot. Ask for one. FACTS.
If the polls close while you're still in line – stay there. By law, you cannot be denied the right to vote. FACTS.
The day before the midterms, the WSJ reports the U.S. has been quietly bombing an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz this evening...all while Trump tells reporters he’s not considering striking Iran. Missile defenses are moving in. Watch what they do, not what they say.
They spent their careers upholding the rule of law. Now retired judges in California are standing with election officials across the state, some of whom are under attack simply for doing their jobs. The judges' message: “We’ve got your back.” 🇺🇸
Reminder: It doesn’t matter who is there monitoring polling stations - don’t let them stop you from doing your civic duty. If you’re legally eligible to vote, ignore all the intimidation bullshit and go vote.
Good luck American friends. You are voting for the free world, not just yourselves. Vote for tolerance, peace, freedom, equality and justice.
229 is too low! The latest CBS News/YouGov Battleground Tracker estimates Dems could win 229 House seats. But with stronger turnout, that number could climb to 237! And if turnout shifts toward Republicans, they could still hold the House. THIS IS WHY EVERY SINGLE VOTE MATTERS! #BlueWaveInOneDay
What if a federal agent walks into a polling place and demands the ballots? Watch this civics video. States run elections. No federal agency can seize ballots without a lawful court-issued warrant. Even then, it would be extraordinary federal interference in how states run their elections.
Recovery & healing from all the damage, physical & psychological, that Trump & the Republicans have done to America, it's people, & indeed the world, will take time. There will be quick fixes, but we need to support those trying to undo the massive harm. There will be hope & signs of change. ❤️

This is such a reprehensible and zero empathy remark to make, particularly by someone who faked bone spurs five times so he get out of the draft. It's disrespectful beyond words to the 58,200 Americans, the 250,000 South Vietnamese, and the 1,100,000 North Vietnamese who died in that war.
