I’ve been a Bernie supporter for decades. Why? Because he’s one of the few Washington politicians with the courage of his convictions, and he is able to push back effectively when it counts. He’s a force for Good in Washington. Having said all that, when it came down to voting, I went for Clinton. @GreenFire @GottaLaff

You know, when I look back on my life, I think it is utterly fucking amazing that for most of it, I had to literally argue with people as to the actual EXISTENCE of racism in this confederate ass hellhole. My whole fucking LIFE in white spaces. Holy hell. It's hard to be sane in this bitch, I'll tell you that.

Okay techies: Every time I post a link to my website on Mastodon, everyone (including me) is shut out of my website for about 5 mintutes with an "error 500" message.

This doesn't happen when I post anywhere else, and I get 10 time the traffic from other sources.

People have offered me and my tech support staff (my husband) solutions. None of them worked.

Republicans are mad that Democrats didn’t tell them that Rep. Al Green would get out of his hospital bed to vote against their sham impeachment. They’re so used to winning elections by suppressing the Black vote that they think it’s a trick when a Black person actually does vote.

When I heard that had multiple myeloma—which my dad died of—I wondered if he'd get stem cell treatment despite having voted & campaigned against stem cell therapy. My dad was too old for this option. Lucky for Scalise, hypocrisy is no barrier

Jake Sherman: STEVE SCALISE will be out of DC until Feb…getting a stem-cell transplant.

House GOP has 220-seat majority. Bill Johnson is out Jan. 21. After that, w Scalise out, GOP will have a bare bones 218-seat majority

The Christian right wants social order where women are 2nd class & therefore opposes reproductive tech that allows women to have autonomy. The perception is that IVF is primarily used by lesbians, single women & women who waited until their 30s to marry.

Joe, Re: “…destined to end badly for him…” — yes, probably but, this year? Years from now? … And how much more damage will he and his sycophants & cronies have done to OUR Republic by then? Those of us on the rational side of the divide must do everything we can to help make sure he never again sees the inside of the Oval Office. IMHO the best path to his defeat is to re-elect Biden/Harris and vote for Democrats all the way down the ballot. @joeinwynnewood @Teri_Kanefield

“When the Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are considered children under state law, its chief justice had a higher authority in mind.

By citing verses from the Bible and Christian theologians in his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker alarmed advocates for church-state separation, while delighting religious conservatives who oppose abortion.”

A cataract is growing in my one useful eye. Thanks to the extremely unusual physiology of that eye, it is degrading my vision very rapidly; I'm noticing the change from one month to the next. Soon I'll have a somewhat risky surgery to deal with the situation.

Obviously, none of this is fun. But, that being said, I do have to admit that this is the most beautiful disability I have ever experienced. 🙂

@theusasingers - It’s not insane when you stop to consider that the Media Industrial Complex is dominated by a half dozen greedy corporations that do not give a damn about our country. It’s all about profits and ratings and executive compensation. They’ve learned that sowing division and hatred serves their goals much better than simply reporting the news to the American people in an objective manner.

This morning NBC’s Blayne Alexander brought us “Trump supporters” (again). Each one of them smugly recited every stupid Trump narrative that FoxNews advances every day. For the life of me I cannot figure out why we don’t burn that fake-news organization to the ground. They are literally eating our nation alive from the inside out. And spare me first amendment apology. It was NOT about protecting organized lying for fun and profit.
