Possibly a MAGAt's worst nightmare: A strong, confident woman who thinks, swears like a dockworker, & can mix a pretty good cocktail. Pro-choice, pro-civil rights, pro-universal healthcare & education. Proud Luddite. And no, that's not my real name. 😉
So, that small-minded, petty old man in DC suggested Iran "take out" the 2 largest cities in California, home to 40% of CA residents. Remind me again why CA, a state that's more like a medium-sized country, should stay in this clearly abusive relationship. #tiredoftheabuse #voteblue #25thamendment

Scary thought for today: The only thing that may ultimately keep us functioning as a so-called "liberal democracy" is the utter incompetency of those trying to destroy us. I really don't like relying on the stupidity of others--even a broken clock is right 2x a day.

Got the Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) from my Medicare Advantage plan & my premium is going up 81% in 2027. So are the co-pays. It's hella expensive being 65+. #payingmore #gettingless

Very much a "1st World Problem," but after 40+ years of working with computers & technology, I'd really like to have tech adapt to me, rather than my being forced to adapt to it. 🙄😝 #unnecessarytech #browserissues

I think it might be time for CA to either purchase the historic Hazel Green Ranch or use eminent domain to make it public land. Kingsbarn Realty paid $4 million in 2024--that seems a fair valuation. #protectYosemiteNP #nolandswap #noprivateroad

With everyone from center-left establishment Democrats to hard right MAGAts freaking out over democratic socialists (who are about as "left" as FDR was), I wonder what they would do when faced with a real, live socialist? 🤔 Probably faint or run away screaming. #pearlclutchers

Dominic Skinner of ICE List: "I always say that ICE aren’t actually fearful of their safety. What they’re fearful of is not being invited to baseball games or not being invited to the pub with their friends. Community exclusion--that’s what they’re fearful of."

When the DEA is arresting journalists & CBP is terrorizing people more than 100 miles from an international border, the rot is far deeper than a couple "rogue" agencies. It's time to dismantle DHS. #dismantleDHS

Anybody who claims "Prices are down" is lying, completely clueless, or both. The prices of fresh produce are 2-3 times what they were a year ago. #inflation #stagflation #Ihavethereceipts
