Have lived several lifetimes. Semi-retired. Reads history voraciously, especially as relates to current events. The American Civil War has lots to teach us about where we are as a country. It was not that long ago and still pertinent to understanding who we are as a nation.

What has given me so much hope now is that from the very beginning when Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed Kamala Harris, everything has been organic. The immediate and resounding support she got to garner the nomination, and now the selection of Walz and the incredible rally we saw yesterday, cannot be manufactured. When there's an organic movement like this, it takes on a life of its own and can't be stopped.

By contrast, everything Trump does is a manufactured facade. Everything.

@GottaLaff I am so frigging pumped about this team, and I’m Canadian - I can’t even vote for them! I’m close to stopping people in the street to hug them - I’m over the moon! Laffy, we’re going to need your help with our next federal election here.

We have an Elon Problem
He’s very rich and powerful. He owns and controls an empire of paid rightwing propagandists, a battery-car company, a brain-implant company, a satellite, spaceship, and AI company, as well as an infrastructure company. Those pieces connect in alarming ways #Musk

#UnionStrong 💪🏼

When Tim #Walz was a teacher in Minnesota, he was a member of the American Federation of Teachers — one of two large unions that represent public school teachers.
