Having been very legally #blind and regaining my sight (#cataractsurgery), here's what I learned:
People AVOID socializing with the blind, especially dining out. It's a "burden". Since my surgery, I've had several lunch invites. Society sucks.
Baby Gropert was in court today saying he couldn’t afford an attorney.
Let’s run down the charges Tyler Boebert, son of Lauren, is facing:
Counts 1-3 against Tyler are criminal possession of identity documents, class 4 felonies, which brings 2-6 years in prison.

Sure, the Republican Party could demand a law that obligates men to get vasectomies, but that would be crazy, right? Controlling men's bodies? Forcing them to do something against their will? Politicians being invasive and gross about it?
Gosh, that would be so crazy.
BREAKING: Former CIA Director John Brennan brutally rips into Donald Trump, saying that he "was not qualified" to be president before and "he is not qualified today."
Then, Brennan really took off the gloves...
"I think he didn’t believe what we were telling him," Brennan said in the interview with Belgian broadcaster RTBF. "And he was especially trying to find out how we knew what we knew about Russian interference in the election."
"According to me, he was not qualified at the time, and he is not qualified today," he went on. "We could see in particular that he did not understand the importance of the United States’s relations with our foreign allies and partners. He has little recognition for the transatlantic relationship, for NATO."
Brennan also criticized Trump for not supporting Ukraine in its war against the murderous invading Russian state. He's concerned that Trump could stop sharing American intelligence with Ukraine or cut off financial and military aid entirely.
"And that would give Vladimir Putin the green light to try to almost swallow up Ukraine," he said. "And unfortunately, I think it will encourage [Putin] to look hungrily toward the rest of Europe."
In the past, Brennan has condemned Trump for his "depravity and incompetence" and said that "his legacy" belongs in "a trash heap."
We couldn't agree more.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Brennan nailed it — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

It sickens me that a bunch of old white men (Republicans) are saying that an invisible man in the sky is telling them to take away my daughters and granddaughters reproductive rights and emancipated bodily autonomy.
Donald Trump is worried that since he's responsible for overturning Roe, the voters will hold him accountable in 2024.
I have news for Donald: They will.
I am not a vessel. I am not cattle. I am more than something to be bred. My body isn’t yours. My body is mine. My body doesn’t belong to anyone but myself. I don’t owe anyone anything and I’m not obligated to ensure the survival of capitalism.
I am not property.
Well it appears the AZ Supreme Court just gifted AZ to Biden and most likely cost Keri Lake a Senate seat.
The SC ruled that an 1864 law banning all abortions except when the life of the mother is in jeopardy can go into effect. This ruling will most likely be appealed, but the mere fact that the SC made this ruling has sent shockwaves through the state that will be felt all the way to the election.
Keri Lake knows how devastating this ruling is as she makes clear how strongly she is against it even though she supports Trumps position that the states decide.
This puts Keri in a no win position because she can’t push against something that she already claims to support…the state decided and that was her wish… you can’t back down from this and say that’s not what I had in mind.
Now Lake wants Governor Hobbs to fix this and I doesn’t think she needs to. Her AG said no one will be tried under this law under the current Governor. I’d let Republicans squirm all the way to the election. What say you?

GOP pollster Frank Luntz says that "abortion is a hard core issue for younger women, a little bit less so for younger men. And older you get it, it's still important but it's not a voter driven issue..."
Wanna bet?
No longer a 'younger woman' & I'm furious.
I am not alone.
So Arizona applies an 1864 law to strip women’s rights and privilege rapists over women — and that’s apparently ok
But Colorado applied an 1866 constitutional amendment to remove an insurrectionist from the ballot — and that was apparently NOT ok?
Got it.
It boggles my mind that folks are pissed at Dr. Fauci, whose sole purpose was to save lives, and at the same time they're worshipping the imbecile who suggested that bleach and UV light were good ways to treat a deadly virus.
Make that make sense.
If states can go back to laws from the 1860s to ban access to abortion, they can go back to the 14th Amendment from the 1860s and ban insurrectionists from running for office
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.
The ppl who banned Black ppl from schools, jobs, military, & public spaces, lynched Latinos, banned Asian immigration, locked up Japanese ppl, broke hundreds of treaties with Native Americans—& are now banning teaching that history—want you to stop making everything about race.😐
