Last week, I asked if my back story was something people were interested in reading about.
The answer was a fairly overwhelming ‘yes’ so now I suppose I owe it to you to make good.
To be honest, I’ve struggled with this, so this may be a bumpy ride.

I’d much rather live next door to someone who crossed a desert to become an American than an American who wouldn’t cross the street to help a foreigner.
Went into Starbucks this morning. Paid for my order.
Barista: “Merry... umm...”
Me: “You don’t have to be afraid anymore... Because of Trump, you can say it now.”
Barista: (relieved) “Merry Impeachmas!”
And then everyone clapped.
ABC didn’t fire Roseanne for being a racist.
She was always a racist.
ABC fired her because she wouldn’t keep her racism just below the surface where ABC could profit from it.
Ya ever stop to think that maybe the reason is so insistent Biden must have cheated is because Trump actually *did* cheat and can’t believe he still lost?
I’m looking forward to the day when I don’t reflexively check my phone right after I wake up to see what stupid thing the President has done overnight.
@DonaldJTrumpJr
...or, you could tell her you're taking it to help kids with cancer but then leave a wrapper trail so she can learn how Trump charities work
CNN commentator just shocked me with a moment of rare media self-awareness.
He basically asked “what does it say about the media that every time Trump yelled some conspiracy nonsense, we did wall to wall coverage of what turned out to be complete bullshit?”
Pretty bad time to be a disastrously bad real estate developer with hundreds of millions in debt coming due and your primary source of laundered money currently banned from world banks.
Taylor Swift has 87.3 million followers on Twitter - the exact same number as Trump.
This is the first campaign ad she has ever given permission to use her music.

I will not watch any network that hires seniors members of Trump’s administration.
Who else is onboard with boycotting and media outlet which hires Trump’s co-conspirators?
This Trump-Pelosi-Schumer argument demonstrates exactly why Republicans hate Nancy Pelosi with a passion.
She is utterly tenacious, unyielding, unflappable and CANNOT be bullied.
Her non-reactivity is also a narcissist’s worst nightmare. It strips them of all power.
All Disney would need to do to destroy Ron De Santis is announce that due to the current climate in Florida they will be reviewing whether to continue operations in the state with a decision by early next year.
Zero chance De Santis wins re-election if it risks Disney leaving.
The brain-trust of Chris Christie, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump came up with a debate strategy that basically centered on reminding women watching of abusive men they dated or married.
Raise your hand if there is someone in your immediate circle of friends and family who would be extremely vulnerable if exposed to COVID-19 due to existing health challenges.
I have three off the top of my head.
I spoke with a senior scientist from the team that developed one of the COVID vaccines.
They worked 18-hour days, 7 days a week, through weekends and holidays, for nearly a year.
A former president who rejected science deserves absolutely none of the credit owed to scientists.
Note: Sarah Huckabee Sanders has a personal account.
It is:
@SarahHuckabee
She used the federal government’s account for the Press Secretary (
@PressSec
) to target a private business owner.
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for
@POTUS
and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so
Trump is entirely dependent on Fox News to maintain his grip on his base.
Strip Trump of his propaganda outlet and he no longer has a vehicle to perpetuate his daily lying.
It’s time to aggressively boycott everything associated with Fox News.
Every show. Every advertiser.
A group of people ignore a beloved woman’s dying wish and rush to take advantage of her death.
They hold an event to announce their corrupt plan...
...and then one by one they start falling ill.
Gotta admit, it’s all very Stephen King.
A lot of people are going to hate this and immediately reject it but hear me out.
The biggest mistake Democrats have made for years and years is being too nice.
We have cared far too much about politeness and decorum. We have treated a bloodsport like it was a bridge game.

A year ago, we were shocked kids were being taken from their parents.
We are no longer shocked by that.
Today, we are shocked by how these kids are being treated.
A year from now we won’t be.
This is how societies slide toward atrocities and genocides.
Shock. Adjust. Shock.
My mother lives in a county with a population larger than the entire state of Wyoming.
Her activist group has sent hand-addressed vote-by-mail applications to every single inactive registered Democrat in the county.
That's my mom.
p.s. feel free to wish her a happy bday.
Congressional Democrats:
Subpoena every member of William Barr’s staff.
When the first refuses to show up, cite them for contempt and have them arrested.
This is Barr’s last career stop. Target the people who have futures to consider.
Cut off his legs and work your way up.
I guarantee you, when Trump committed to attending tonight’s World Series game:
1) He knew the Al Baghdadi raid was happening; and
2) He thought he’d be greeted as a hero
He showed up for what he thought would be worshipful applause.
Sorry, pal.
Note to media folks:
Stop asking prominent white men how they feel about civility.
White men aren't the ones being locked up in cages, abused by bigots, or shot by police.
Stop climbing to the very top of the privilege totem to ask the unaffected how the affected should behave
Seven years ago, a brave & composed 19-year old named Zach Wahls stood up in front of the Iowa legislature and delivered a speech about growing up with two mothers in a lesbian household.
Tonight, Zach Wahls won his primary for an Iowa state house seat!
Good news for economy class air travelers:
When boarding, if you see an empty seat in first class, you can now take it because, according to a Supreme Court justice, if it’s empty, it’s free.
Someday, historians will look back at the last two weeks and recognize that Biden and American intelligence outing Putin’s plans to fabricate a cause of war was a major historic domino.
It led to Putin’s unhinged rant about restoring imperialist Soviet Russia…

Just so ya know, Nancy Pelosi just put on a clinic in how to deal with someone with narcissistic personality disorder.
Flat, unemotional, fact-based responses. Refusing to be baited. Staying on message without being distracted by nonsense.
That was a “managing an NPD” clinic.
Years ago, my mother and stepfather hosted an exchange student from China.
After not having heard from the student in years, she called my mom today.
Called to see if she was okay and ask if she could send her masks.
There’s no shortage of masks in China.
Trump is gone. Ivanka and Jared are gone. Stephen Miller is gone. Pompeo is gone. Mnuchin is gone. Kayleigh is gone. Kellyanne is gone. Betsy DeVos is gone.
Joe Biden is President. Kamala Harris is Vice President.
All of those terrible days. We survived them.
Here’s to us. 🥂
Senators could demand millions of pages of records from Brett Kavanaugh’s time in the Bush White House – and grind the SCOTUS confirmation process to a crawl (1/5)
That lady who just cut funding for the Special Olympics lives here.
I'm kidding. Betsy DeVos doesn't LIVE here. She visits sometimes though. This is her summer place.
Nine states representing 1/3 of the country’s entire economy just formed two regional partnerships to manage the eventual reopening of their states.
Trump’s leadership vacuum is being filled by competent, responsible governors.
I’ll never forget the scandalous email Hillary sent to Huma Abedin asking “Should we be bad? Should we get a creme brûlée?”
Thank god we dodged THAT bullet.
Attention, good people.
I *NEVER* ask for retweets but I’m asking now.
We NEED to find people who worked with Mark Judge at Safeway in the early 1980’s.
Their knowledge can help corroborate Dr. Blasey Ford’s account.
Let’s find them together.
Share widely, if you will.
