I have never hated anyone as much as I hate TFG. He is really really bad, and I work locally to elect sane candidates in our area, even though we are horribly (and illegally) gerrymandered.

TODAY IS THE DAY.

We're in Washington now and arrive in this afternoon. 🇨🇦

Our new home.

It's surreal, scary, wonderful.

My posting will be light until we're settled in a little.

Thank you for all your amazing replies and good wishes. I read them all, but can't reply back.

Big hugs to all of you. 🥰

Sect of St just sent a letter to the Chair of the OH Dem Party that he will exclude from the OH ballot since the DNC convention is after their arbitrary deadline. OH extended the deadline for Repubs in 2012 & 2020, but refuses to do it now. Story.

@GottaLaff Loser LaRose tries to cheat every day. Our only hope is to pass our anti gerrymandering ballot issue, but we expect him to find a way to get around that. Our Supreme Court races in Ohio need the same support Wisconsin got last year. This is critical!

I'm pretty out of it today... alarm went off late so I stumbled to my computer in a fog... coffee in hand.

Not much sleep last night... dinner disagreed with my belly, but my belly eventually won.

But bear with me. I'm totally out of it right now. I'll be fine once the coffee kicks in.

A few reminders about Trump's NY Trial:

  1. It's not simply about him trying to cover up alleged affairs

  2. It's about him allegedly orchestrating an illegal scheme to deprive voters of information

  3. He was indicted by a grand jury made up of ordinary citizens, not Biden

@rbreich pundits keep saying “it’s not the crime of the century” but if he had not hidden the info, I think Hillary would have won, and history would have been changed. It changed the election.

@GottaLaff Such a great explanation of your evolution. I so wish I could join you, but reading this helps me live vicariously. I am working hard in red-ish Ohio, trying to influence others on our path (hopefully) forward toward a more sane world. It’s really scary sometimes, but at 72 I hope I can help others learn to advance democracy. You are such a bright spot on mastodon!

    Bigoted Senate “voted 23-9 Wednesday to override Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of legislation banning gender-affirming health care for minors and preventing women and girls from competing on female school sports teams. Ohio now joins nearly two dozen other GOP-led states that have adopted similar laws after the state House also voted earlier this month to overturn the veto”
