Shame AND volunteer to GOTV...even if it sways just a handful of votes, it's worth it. Certainly, not alone, but there is NO reason to let go of this utter hypocrisy.

Builds the case for adding more SCOTUS seats. I hope the Ds also start impeachment inquiries against the very worst of the Trump judicial appointees, at least the ones who perjured themselves during the confirmation process.

I am terribly sad about RBG, but the dear wonderful soul did all that she could do.

We now need to wipe away the tears and do the same! It's the best way to honor her and all our fellow Americans who have died because of these monsters.

With you all the way, too.

Thune Name Meaning
Norwegian: habitational name from any of six farmsteads, mostly in southeastern Norway, so named from Old Norse tún ‘enclosure’, ‘yard’. German: habitational name from Thune near Braunschweig or Thune on the river Thune, or from Thun near Hannover, all named with Middle Low German tun ‘(woven) fence’, ‘hedge’, ‘enclosure’.

A better source than mine! I just googled it and found that ref.

So it means enclosure or fence, that fits too given their penchant for isolating/eliminating anyone who is not in the cult.
