Haven’t posted much n a bit (the holidays have been NUTS!). Today is my birthday! 55 rotations around the sun. It’s been an EXTRAORDINARY year, & I’ve been truly blessed. 😃 I’ve been sick for 3 days, but just started feeling “normal” again today. Thank goodness. A chill b-day at home. Skol!

Genuinely caring means not “sugar-coating” the truth. Be grateful for those in your life who are compassionate enough to offer that perspective. And LISTEN…TRULY listen. None of us are perfect. But, when we embrace confronting the obvious flaws we’ve avoided attending to, we can be better people.

Thanksgiving has always been a time when I take inventory of what I am genuinely grateful for in my life. And this year, more than any other, I have been fortunate enough to be truly happy…after fearing I would never know that feeling again. These things in our world are fragile. Be thankful.

Hmmm…so I guess Trump has now declared that if “a lot of people” don’t like you, then you’re subject to immediate summary execution and dismemberment ?! Start building up your social media followers, folks! www.axios.com/2025/11/18/t...

THIS is something I think we all should NEVER have had to experience and something that speaks volumes to how twisted our world is currently.

#nowwatching I am SO far from ideal. But I’m experiencing the most ideal thing I’ve ever known. Feeling this one tonight.

I love a relaxing rainy morning, but…as an elementary school teacher…contending with a room full of 9 & 10 year olds on a rainy day is the closest thing imaginable to containing a 50 megaton nuclear detonation in a shoebox!

I don't put much stock in the DNC anymore since they are all cowards and lobbyists but I hope that they took note yesterday. it's time to wake up. socialism is popular.

Blue Tide is SLAMMIN tonight!

Once again, I’ve been denied the title of “Sexiest Man Alive”…this time by some dude named Jonathan Bailey. I’m sure People Magazine will figure it out eventually. hehe

I try to vote in-person whenever possible & tonight was no exception. Really long line at the polling place, but the turnout speaks to how undeniably fed-up folks are with the buffoonery of the Right & their shameless shenanigans. The tide is changing…& it’s only just begun! #yeson50 #mamdani4NYC

Strong, passionate turnout at the Coast Guard base in Alameda. This community is LIVID over the despicable deployment of ICE to the Bay Area. Get off my island, ICE! #resistance #chingalamigra #shutdownICE #not1more

L.A.! Cropping my partner out…outta respect!

Sorry L.A. When things get tight, The Bay shows up!

The end of another 12 hour day. I could really use a back massage, some TLC, and a good bourbon. Oh well. One outta three ain’t bad.

WooHoo! PTA day! #NowWatching

Wow. Kilmeade ACTUALLY articulated his solution to addressing the needs of the unhoused is to “Just kill ’em.”?! The folks on the panel there didn’t even flinch. THIS is where a significant amount of the American populace is now, folks. Save us from this craven inhumanity. youtu.be/8Pxynui8YHc

No one sticks it to the bad guys like Jamie Raskin!

#NowWatching Showing my daughters how to stick it to The Man tonight!

Curious to get an objective perspective: Do think having your behavior labeled as “performative” is a good thing or a bad thing? I’ve always seen it as synonymous with insincere or putting on an affectation contrary to your genuine beliefs, values, and principles.

This year keeps getting better & better! WooHoo!

Apparently Trump is voting through the process of registering for hotel parking. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The sad reality associated with the passage of time. We’ve lost another incredible, original Apollo astronaut. Though he never got a chance to step on the surface, Jim Lovell was brlliant, brave, & one of the most charming figures linked to that era’s race to the moon. www.cnn.com/2025/08/08/s...

Don’t hate the player, Donnie. Hate the game. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Late Night is REGULARLY ranked #1 in its time slot. As such, advertisers HAPPILY dump money towards catching its audience’s eyes. There is NO way this is a “financial decision” by CBS. The Trump administration has targeted CBS with extreme prejudice. And they continue to cave. This is fear.

What is happening in this world?! It is a VERIFIABLE FACT that Trump appointed Powell in 2017! Yet…once again…we let this cretin try to gaslight the American people without ANY justifiable pushback from press. It strains the very fabric of absurdity. How long can we endure this?

SPOT ON take from this news anchor! Instead of spending the majority of these press conferences lauding one and other with praise, how ‘bout focusing on something the people of these flood damaged areas need - INFORMATION! youtu.be/hZWzQJVJ3Dk

The American police-state. What have we become?! We CANNOT “normalize” this, folks. Take action, resist, make your presence known, and let our voices be heard!

Remembering what Independence Day is REALLY about. Celebrating that we, as a people, are not beholden to ANY form of oppressive tyranny…250 years ago OR today. The foundational truth of this nation still rings true…& we can’t EVER let that credo be co-opted by those who seek to pervert its meaning

Newsflash! Lisa Murkowski sucks. Alaska’s population is 0.2% of the TOTAL U.S. population. Yet she rationalized attending to her constituents…with sweetheart carve-outs for Alaskans…to justify voting in favor of the “Big Beautiful Bill” - screwing over the majority of this nation. Despicable.

Despite 2 lesser guilty verdicts, this is bullshit. When a woman…or women…are transported & held violently against their will for the purposes of selfishly gratifying some meglomaniac’s desire to assert his power sexually, THAT’S “sex trafficking”. Period. www.huffpost.com/entry/diddy-...

ZERO shame from vapid, cosplaying Homeland Security Secretary Noem. Using a COMPLETELY unverifiable scare-tactic antecdote to justify the cruelty of this administration’s inhumane “immigration policy” is disgustingly on-brand. “Sycophant” is TOO generous of a word. www.huffpost.com/entry/kristi...

This is PRECISELY why I’m in favor of radical term limits (like..TWO terms, at most!). These legislators all seem to find integrity and have their “come to Jesus” moments immediately after announcing they are no longer seeking reelection. Shameless pandering. www.huffpost.com/entry/thom-t...

Perhaps the greatest scene in all of cinematic history! 😍 youtube.com/watch?v=0ty0...

Once again, the Legislative Branch cedes more power to the Executive as we veer increasingly toward a full-on authoritarian state It’s shameful that we have folks on SCOTUS that willfully subvert the very founding document whose principles they are sworn to protect www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem...

This administration has such shameful disdain for journalists & the media (PARTICULARLY when it comes to their misogynistic treatment of female reporters). Here’s an idea: Why not just stay away from these pressers entirely? They yield no REAL information & only serve to amplify govt. propaganda.

Good grief. This sick, xenophobic tyrant now thinks it’s “cute” to post this crap…making light of both his naked racism but ALSO the perverse joy he seems to be experiencing through militant murder & destruction. And THIS is the guy who crows about having avoided war in his 1st term? Methinks not.

Here’s hoping genuine progressive policy & small donor contributions can prevail over corporate influence & an ineffective status quo (oh…let’s not forget all that pesky sexual harassment). Best of luck, Zohran Mamdani! #MamdaniForNYCMayor www.huffpost.com/entry/andrew...

Absolutely VILE. This woman was gunned down in cold blood for no other reason than selflessly serving her community…but in a way Mike Lee doesn’t agree with. And then this INHUMAN MONSTER posts THIS shit…which essentially EXCUSES politically motivated murder. Resign. Your “human card” is revoked.

When you spend 5 hours straight at the Costco tire center, a bourbon on the rocks becomes damn near MANDATORY once you get home! 😃🥃

Feels like EVERY single person in my little island city is out here making their voices heard...with RIGHTEOUS indignation! WE are stronger TOGETHER than a petty, tyrannical authoritarian despot! PLEASE do whatever you can today to show your opposition to unprecedented tyranny & cruelty. #NoKings

The parallels are uncanny. We're close to a rebellion, folks.

Noem: “Um..excuuuse me, Alex! I’m right in the middle of some heavyduty gaslighting right now, ‘kay? Could you save any cogent, rational comments for the Inglewood gulag we’re sending you to? Can we get some Gestapo..er..I mean security to forcibly assault..I mean escort Mr. Padilla out? Thank you.”

Disgusting. The childishness of Comer and Greene is topped only by the inherent disrespect & racism towards Rep. Frost. When the toddlers try running the daycare facility…

Confidential internal White House correspondence recently intercepted by the New York Times!

Naked xenophobia & racism ONCE AGAIN on full display by the Executive Branch. There was full-throated opposition to this clown’s “travel ban” during his first administration. We MUST make it clear,once again,that this kind of blatant cruelty WILL NOT be tolerated! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The President of the United States reposted this….that Biden was executed and replaced by evil “Dem-bot” clones. Just let that sink in. Seriously. What. The. Actual. Fuck?!?!

The Fourth Estate is more critical NOW than in any other time in our history. Most Americans are informed of domestic & international conditions through SOME form of major media. As they become increasingly suppressed, both internally & externally, reality itself is perverted and abused.

SOMEDAY my daughters will wanna go out and see “big kid” movies but, until then…. #NowWatching
