I try to be consistent, and I will call out nonsense. Atheist. Independent. USMC aviation in 80s/90s. proud dad. Recovering alcoholic. With fear for our democracy, I dissent.

regardless of what's in the plank, their word is no good - they're still coming for as much as they can get away with banning.

It’s worth noting that Trump has no campaign events scheduled at this time. The dude glitches, lies all the time, and says the most bizarre shit, but somehow Jake Tapper isn’t calling for him to do a two-hour press conference to settle concerns about his fitness.

Lord, there's a pit in my stomach seeing the pictures coming out of St. Vincent (where I was born and where much of my family grew up or still lives) The devastation caused Hurricane Beryl is...tremendous. And the world isn't ready for the future (present?) of climate change and climate refugees

it's not like this stuff ever stopped existing, but the past 8 years have absolutely made people think they have permission to just put it out there.

I've been waiting for the Globe op-ed article that Trump is unfit and should exit the race. All the papers should be running with that.

Biden's steady consistent pace of incremental changes that improve lives - he's gotten more done than I thought possible. I truly underestimated his ability to deliver.

just listened to @kenwhite.bsky.social and the Serious Trouble podcast this week and honestly wondering how to get my day going. Ken White, someone who I count on to ground me and tell me people are overreacting, saying the immunity ruling is awful and destructive. Give a listen.

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

This is what I mean earlier when I said the GOP elite are unimaginably stupid. The young guys have marinated their entire lives in echo chambers. They are not gonna succeed in abolishing the 20th century. If they try, *actual conservatives* will be against them. IVF is the most obvious example.

I think what’s bothering me is usually I can see some way out, some recourse. there is no remedy here, the ruling is awful and there’s no way to undo that. we can vote and hope Biden wins, but the it will take years, decades, to undo this damage.

Gotta say, even my largely politics-is-not-for-me relatives on Facebook are having a fucking conniption over the SCOTUS ruling. My uncle posted "We left England because we don't want a King. Charles is an inbred." I'm not sure what one has to do with the other, but he's right.

my bigger concern than red state vs. blue state is why people continue to vote against their own self interests - and mostly I feel bad for them and want to educate them more.
