I'm a baby boomer living in East Texas, grandma, love pets, my family and friends, Marvel movies and country living. I sound kinda lame.

Trump is already talking about using the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, if he is reelected, to put down any civil protests. I can’t stress this enough. No matter what you think of Biden, his age, his policies, he is no dictator. He believes in democracy. We cannot let Trump anywhere near the White House again.

Look, I hate asking you for money. I really do. But right now we’re falling behind on our end-of-month goal. I’m sick and tired of billionaires thinking they can buy our elections. That’s why I’m so proud of this grassroots team. Will you chip in before the deadline?

This is for the young progressives out there. When I was a bit younger, I was terribly disappointed with then President Bill Clinton, who signed the hateful DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into law. It seemed he had betrayed all of his values and the LGBTQ community that had helped get him elected. There was a part of me that said I would stand on principle and never vote for him again.

But then I remembered, voting isn’t about loving everything about your candidate. Voting for me is about making a strategic move that will best advance the cause of democracy, freedom and peace for all people, even if my candidate of choice really, really let me down.

I supported Bill Clinton for a second term, even though he had just signed DOMA into law, a law that said my love for my husband Brad was not enough to be legally recognized, not ever.

Candidates aren’t perfect. We shouldn’t ever expect them to agree with us always, even on the most basic of things.But we cast our votes as a prayer for them to do better because we know they can, and their hearts are in the right place.

Bill Clinton came around to supporting my community, without exception. It took time. We got there. So don’t waste your vote. Use it wisely, and make the decision, even if it’s hard, to back the best candidate for what the world needs, and to help prevent an utter catastrophe if, heaven forbid, the other one is elected.

Ohio, there’s an important election happening right now.

If you want to protect abortion rights by making them part of your state Constitution, vote yes on Issue 1.

Two Friday's ago, my sister-in-law went to the emergency room with a severe headache.

The headache had only lasted 3 days, but her friends insisted she go get it checked out. They ran tests on her, and found that she had a huge brain tumor in the front-right of her head, that needed to be removed immediately.

The tumor had shifted the midline of her brain and was putting a dangerous amount of pressure on it.

This past Friday (a week later), she had successful surgery to remove the tumor, but she will not be able to work for several months. The medical bills are extraordinary, and she needs someone to care for her 4 dogs while she endures a long road to recovery.

Please send her all of your prayers and positive thoughts. If you can help her out, that would be amazing. Her son and daughter-in-law have set up Gofundme that you can access via the link below. Thank you so much. ❤️

It’s not illegal immigrants that are dragging our economy. It’s greedy corporations and businesses that jacked up prices on things that were never impacted by supply chain issues or have recovered from them, and are sneakily gouging ppl for goods and services blaming the economy.

[Dash Dobrofsky @DashDobrofsky]

DEMOCRATS ARE FLIPPING HOUSE SEATS LEFT AND RIGHT -- AND BIDEN IS HEALTHY AS AN OX & HAS CREATED MORE JOBS THAN ANY PRESIDENT IN THE PAST 50 YEARS. WHEN WILL THE MEDIA GIVE THEIR ANTI-BIDEN/ANTI-DEM NARRATIVE A REST AND START REPORTING THE FACTS? DEMS/BIDEN HAVE ALL THE MOMENTUM!

[Jon Tester @jontester]

I was about to log off for the evening, but then I realized I owe you all an update on our campaign. We need to put up big numbers to show the strength of our grassroots team. But right now we're pacing behind. Can I count on you to chip in before the deadline?

Lauri Carleton was a small-business owner & mother of 9.

In an appalling and senseless act of violence, Lauri was murdered for displaying a pride flag outside of her store in Lake Arrowhead.

There is no place for hatred & homophobia in CA. My thoughts are with Lauri's family.

Stock buybacks were illegal until Reagan made them legal in 1982.

Just about the same time, wages stopped rising for most Americans.

Does that sound like a coincidence to you? 🤔

Kyle Rittenhouse received VIP treatment.

Yet, Anthony's heroic actions were barely a footnote - he should be a household name.

You know you all these indictments in Georgia have gotten me thinking about the scale of the criminality involved in trying to steal the election for Donald Trump.

We had lawyers writing papers on how to keep Trump in office, slates of fake electors in several states, people breaking into voting machines, congressman refusing to certify, thousands of phone calls, emails, texts and DMs pressuring officials to declare Trump the winner. Audits, investigations, fake lawsuits. Election officials threatened, voting machine companies vilified. Lies on the news every day and criminal actions at every level of government. It was a tidal wave of dishonesty and law breaking, a criminal enterprise with Donald Trump at the head.

Then there was January 6th. People crawling up the walls, smashing windows, bashing in doors and beating policeman. Five deaths. All in the people's house.

We're left picking up the pieces surrounded by politicians still pounding the drum of a stolen election. It's just staggering to me the scale of what happened, and it's amazing a system designed hundreds of years ago held.

Now there is accountability. There should be many more states pursuing indictments including my own, Arizona. No matter how long it takes. We need to hold everyone who played a part accountable.

The #FBI has identified many people who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the person in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at https://t.co/LRUnRA40bG or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo #425-AFO.
