I understand all of what the govenor is saying, but the rigging is already in play. A billionaire sycophant has purchased Dominion. The voting machines. How do we get around that? What's the plan to ensure that the machines aren't deleting or adding votes? youtube.com/shorts/HQY6o...

BREAKING: Decision Desk calls New Jersey Governor for democrat MIKIE SHERRILL

Great news.

I know I've been quiet, but work, school, and everything else have me juggling. Long walk with the dogs today, and weights this afternoon. Sore as heck now.

Today was a tough one! 30-Minute Run (first one post-race), 15-Minute Kettlebell Workout (Caroline Girvan) and a 15-Minute Pilates Mat workout. I'm now on the couch with a bowl of soup and some water (I've also had some electrolytes and protein). Someone send peanut butter cups.

📌“I believe we are in danger of burning people out who have been running hot for the better part of a decade trying to stand up for Democrats." If you are as tired of all these misleading, guilt-tripping fundraising messages as I am, I wrote this for you. Oh, and vote YES in Pennsylvania Nov. 4!

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

Dear WHITE PEOPLE!!! **if it doesn't apply, let it fly**

Black people told y’all they’re never letting you in no matter how much they’ll use your own racism to their benefit. Theirs. Not yours. Ever. Sucker! 😜 Surprise! Vivek Ramaswamy's Turning Point Event Derailed by Racism - The New Republic apple.news/AEqu8BC8UROW...

Yes I knew. Most Black people, especially older Black people knew. They had been trying to warn folks for 60 years when the GOP adopted the Southern Strategy.

Yeah... they're so transparent. They're also really ignorant.

So I know I've been MIA, that's because I was in Portland doing a thing (half-marathon). Here I am not too far before hitting Sellwood and its many hills. DAMN YOU AND YOUR HILLS SELLWOOD (though thank you to the residents, and Nixie the German Shepherd...y'all rock). Oh and this is my SIL.

NO VOTES SCHEDULED. HUH

This one makes me sad.

A gunman rammed his truck into a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Michigan before opening fire and setting the church ablaze It's sad that both parties will rush to paint the gunman as one the other side before caring about the victims

Flood the phone lines.

It's a rainyish day in DC (yes, I know that's not a real word). So I'm meal prepping for the next few weeks by making Superhero Muffins; Kale and Sweet Potato for breakfasts this week. Everything Bagel and Quinoa, Sausage, Veggie Ones for the freezer.

The reaction of white people to Kamala Harris releasing a book about her own experience running for president....Not an expose on Biden's health or another diatribe about the oligarchy, just a memoir... just don't read it. Jfc.

If Sinclair-owned WJLA ABC7 toes the company line, Jimmy Kimmel’s return will not be aired in Washington DC.

Tucker Carlson’s comments represent the worst kind of conspiratorial antisemitism from the far right. This has NO place in this country. We all need to stand up and recognize this for what it is. Shame on those who don’t call it out.

Long Birthday weekend; On Friday we went kayaking at Assateague. We saw wild horses, a ton of gorgeous birds, and then ate back all of the calories in Ocean City. Saturday we walked all over Rehoboth, Dewey, and Bethany--then ate steamed crabs (I earned that meal). Today we meandered home.

Unless I'm reading this badly wrong and the administration puts out contrary implementation, it would appear that starting tonight, anyone with an H-1B who doesn't write a $100,000 check to the US government is banned from reentering the country if they're currently outside the US.

While I have been incredibly fortunate in my life to always know that I have a roof over my head, I have volunteered with the homeless and this is true. Most of the people I met were good people who had been failed by the system.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

I grew up on the Washington Post, it was and remains my local paper. I stopped subscribing a few years ago when it became clear that it was losing its objectivity.

45 minute weighted vest lunch walk with the Cutest Run Cub Ever. 12 lb weighted vest. Feeling good, so glad to have gotten out to clear my head. Will lift weights after I wrap up work.

This will come for romance novels and fan fiction.

May Robert Redford rest in peace. He was the commencement speaker at my college graduation. He warned about much of what we are seeing now. apple.news/ACkCQdvILR1W...

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

To the letter! The Nazis started going after transgender people in 1933. It was one of the first things they did. And look at all the Nazis today, coming out of the woodwork, demonizing transgender people. They've even been trying to work in a transgender angle to blame them for the Kirk shooting.

Worth the minute to vent

My pleasure. I'm glad it was useful. A more involved resource. Written by @leciamichelle.bsky.social www.amazon.com/White-Allies...

Ezra Klein is hot garbage, just like Chris Hayes. I loathe these skinny effete white men who pretend to be left or progressive or liberal, but are really just racist sexist self-absorbed arrogant assholes with shitty opinions. Neither of these men deserve jobs in media or journalism. Period.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Finished up the first phase of the weight training program I'm doing, and got to test out the new weights (and figured them out!) this morning. Dog walks will be my cardio as tomorrow is my long run and pilates. Phase 2 starts Monday or Tuesday (depending on how I feel after the run).

An ICE operative has shot and killed a man in Chicago.

No formal cardio today but I walked about 20 minutes each way running an errand, then another 20 minute dog walk when I got home from work. Before I left the office for the day, I went down to the fitness center and lifted weights for 30 minutes.

His comms team is unparalleled

The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying. Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm. I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

I'm just shocked and horrified to learn of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Violence is immoral and never solves anything I've been working all day on a column about the rapidly worsening climate for free speech on college campuses. This is only going to make things 1,000 times worse

And this is how the camps start now that SCOTUS has given their blessing to racially profile people. As long its Latinos for trump who go first, I guess.

Hey y’all want some good news? The GOP’s lead in the House just shrunk. www.cbs19news.com/news/state/d...

How long until Sinema goes full “Tulsi Gabbard” and becomes a complete MAGA to get relevant again?

“Impeach the Supreme Court” Folk just be throwing around the word impeach like it’s a panacea for all the problems right now. Vote. It’s really that simple.

Most people don’t know how the law works, let me explain something. Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling permitting I.C.E. to racially profile legally, is a [Los Angeles] California case. But it now applies in ALL 50 states. Supreme Court ruling are considered “the law of the land.” Brutal work. ⚖️

It was Hyundai's workers, setting up their proprietary systems. They were going to go home when the plant was operational, and Georgia was going to have 8500 new jobs (I believe is what I read this morning, correctly me please). But instead--this kind of derailed and delayed all of that.

Your reminder that the Civil War and J6 stand for the same thing. Wake up!

This was a calculated move by the current administration to further fan the flames of outrage and simultaneously help destabilize the economy. Remember boys and girls, most of the people responsible for this are wealthy enough to survive economic calamities that will destroy the rest of us.
