Red state blueneck I like travel, walking with my dog, watching sports, old TV shows. No patience with today's Republicans.

He sounds like he could be a good senator, but he needs to uplift the Democratic Party, not both sides it with Republicons. He won't accomplish anything on his own, so needs to help elect other Dems. E.g., he hits them on unions, yet they did a $36B bailout of pension funds for 36,000 Teamsters.
I think that might be just a fancy hat.
Packed away somewhere I have a Sambo's coaster. The name was taken from portions of the names of its two founders, Sam Battistone Sr. and Newell Bohnett.

𧡠How many times have you heard "Blacks are 13% of the population and commit 50% of violent crime"? Well, racists have been using the UCR wrong for their tired narrative. Let's set the record straight. Pull up a seat, folks.πͺ #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
@grok What are the 10 cities with the highest crime rate?
"People age differently" For instance, Steph is 44 yet has the memory of a 64 year old. And of course doesn't look a day over 34.

@thetonymichaels.bsky.social YouTube just suggested this fantastic video. Movie reviews in the SF Chronicle used to have (still do?) what would now be considered an emoji of a little man standing on his chair clapping. That was the highest praise. Need one for this. www.youtube.com/shorts/x6X9Q...

The "Western-backed coup" was a fair election that replaced the Russian stooge that Paul Manafort had helped install.
I think the question many of us have is "Why the fuck not?".

Every good court decision I see my thought is "wait until it gets to SCOTUS."
Damn woke 49ers back in the gold rush.

This would be an American holiday, but you're welcome to celebrate.
They didn't remember he helped Trump in 2016: "Hillary might start World War III as President" or "Trump Presidency not the end of the world" Aug 2024 headlines: "Cornel West boosted by Trump allies to get name on Wisconsin ballot" "West called for a βCOVID-19 Truth Commission.β
If you voted for West, you really don't care about candidates who will actually produce results that will help people. Empty promises are not worth the breath that spoke them.

@teddithomp.bsky.social Something to really laugh at!!
That's Republican-class rationalization. π

"But they get an income tax cut!" --Republicons, Fox, Newsmax, OAN π€ͺ
Yes, I would guess as a percentage of the total population, there were many years in the past where immigration was greater.
This is ridiculous. Having a purity test and refusing to vote for a candidate because of a single issue, when you agree with them on 90% of issues, when you disagree with the opponent on 99% of issues - INCLUDING THIS ONE - is a major reason we have #Felon47 now. Pure idiocy.
ICEβs unchecked power has turned into lawless overreachβabductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3
WHOA. Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley just announced her retirement. She was up for reelection in April. Liberals now have an even better chance to increase their majority from 4-3 to 5-2. x.com/mattsmith_ne...

Mork: "On Ork, everyone lives to be 1,000 years old. On your 999th birthday they cancel your credit cards." It's time to get all the credit cards you can and charge them to the max.
OMG. Talk about things that wouldn't be allowed on TV today. The most popular weekly segment* on the @johnfugelsang.bsky.social show is with 2 indigenous people. They would not be amused. (*also available on his podcast each Friday) www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgSX...
Miss Manners could help Snoop Dog like she did this reader. Dear Miss Manners: What am I supposed to say when I am introduced to a homosexual "couple"? Gentle Reader: "How do you do?" "How do you do?"
I think Bella looks like a young Kate Winslet, and she looks amazing without makeup. And unlike Rose, Bella would have allowed Jack on the floating debris rather than let him die in the freezing water.
The SCOTUS is corrupt as hell...
That will teach them to read the fine print. Well, if they were still alive. A lesson to others.
Stats that everyone with a platform should refer to on gerrymandering: In 2012 Republicons got a 33 seat ADVANTAGE in the House while LOSING the popular vote by 1.4 million votes. In 2018 Dems won 10 million more votes than GOP but only a 36 seat advantage. Both sides don't gerrymander equally.

Well, when you buy Trump brand dildos, you can expect them to break into pieces. There were* a lot of Trump flags in my town. It is amazing how fast they fade and tatter. *There are a lot less Trump flags than there were a few months ago.
"runs" is doing some heavy lifting.
It's certainly MAGAt culture. "In 1991, Cracker Barrel implemented a policy that led to the firing of employees for not demonstrating "normal heterosexual values." They've worked to become more inclusive, but: "As of 2023, CB has a score of 30 out of 100 on HRC's Corporate Equality Index"

Oh god, I hope that phrase doesn't become a thing. He'll start marketing diamond encrusted gold Trump Ankle Watches. The cult will pay $7000 for them and pull their socks down whenever they want to know the time.

It was touching too hear Steph talk about how much Chris has done for the show. "We've been through so much together. And most of it was your fault. "

Oldest joke I remember from the game show Truth or Consequences, late 50s. (You had to answer right or face the consequences.) Q- What did one bird say to the other when a jet flew by? A- If my tail was on fire, I'd fly like that too. (That killed for ~6 year old me.)

Sad news. Dish TV has dozens of streaming channels. Just this month I found that 98-22 is completely just episodes of "Caught in Providence", which is his courtroom. Did not know him before seeing these.

Through John I learned about Matthew 25. I was having an online discussion with my very right wing Ohio state senator about immigration. He ended it when I posted this.

If he is as rich as he claims, he should have already been giving much more than that to charity.
I asked grok. In Florida there is a 25-foot buffer zone after a warning, effective January 2025.
They break more laws than they are enforcing. Obama and Biden deported more people than #Felon47, but they did it legally and humanely. Dems have advocated comprehensive immigration reform, specifically in 2013 & 2024, but were blocked by Republicons who pursue performative games over solutions.

On Tuesdays John has @democracyprof.bsky.social (Corey Brettschneider). He's a Poli Sci Prof at Brown University. He has a great podcast - The Oath and the Office. Very interesting tying history into what is happening today. shorturl.at/H7vGP
John also has a podcast. It's basically his Sirius show available the next day. The 2nd hour of his Wednesday Sirius show is the highly recommended Godsquad. On Thursday, @juliefrancella.com & @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social in the 2nd are incredibly interesting on native American issues.
Catch you tomorrow. I'm a #daywalker. Looking forward to it.

Ohio taxpayers should not be funding our National Guard to go to DC for right wing photo ops. Our National Guard members should not be pulled from their families/jobs/lives for right wing photo ops. DC has its lowest crime rate in 30 years.
If I didn't have a phone, I'd buy one just to charge it.

Police departments across the country smash windows when law breakers refuse repeated lawful requests to exit their vehicle. I doubt if ICE is making lawful requests or using window breaking as the last resort though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNDu...
I asked grok about the crime rate in Dayton versus Washington DC" "Violent crime in D.C. reached a 30-year low in 2024, with a 22% decrease through May 2025 compared to 2024 (935 vs. 1,201 incidents). Homicides dropped 12%, sex abuse 46%, robbery 24%, and assault with a dangerous weapon 15%"
Also- "Violent crime in D.C. reached a 30-year low in 2024, with a 22% decrease through May 2025 compared to 2024 (935 vs. 1,201 incidents). Homicides dropped 12%, sex abuse 46%, robbery 24%, and assault with a dangerous weapon 15%"
I asked grok- "what is the crime rate in dayton ohio versus the crime rate in washington dc"
Lots of sovereign citizens have had their windows broken after refusing many, many legal requests from law enforcement to provide required info, and then refusing to exit the vehicle. I doubt ICE is giving legal requests before demanding exit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNDu...
There are tons of YouTube videos by/about "sovereign citizens" or "auditors" (both groups are trouble making idiots). They have in common that they demand and receive the name and badge number of every law officer involved in their interaction.
NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning. Please take care when watching.
Many years ago I visited the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem. One painting in particular looked familiar. I took a low quality photo (mainly poor lighting), and it is quite similar to the Dutch Masters cigars logo.
She was wrong. It's not half. It's 100%.
