My sister is full on MAGA

But is a childless cat lady. I hope when she implodes under the irony that her dipshit husband is inside the event horizon.

Reverse coattails?

Often a winning presidential candidate has a positive impact on down ticket races. I think the Democrats should put a lot of resources into House and Senate races. A strong majority of voters do not want Republicans controlling women’s health care options. This is an issue that is personal and powerful. Most MAGAs are on the record opposing access to abortion and can be pummeled with their own sound bites, votes, social media postings. Project 2025, while hideous and scary is more difficult to weaponize. If we can get voters to the polls to reject anti-choice down ticket candidates, they will be likely to vote for Biden/Harris as well. Roevember!! We definitely want to minimize any coattails that TSF might generate.

One week after TSF's conviction

I have not seen a single upside down American flag. (Eugene, Oregon). Nobody has hassled me despite my Black Lives Matter bumper sticker or Biden/Harris yard sign.

Could the authorities set up a doxxing sting?

Infiltrate a right wing website and post info about a “juror” who is really an undercover cop. See what crawls out.

Maybe even announcing they are going to do this might keep the incels in their mom’s basements.

May Day honors the struggles of American labor activists but is shunned here. Because communism.

One year anniversary

One year ago I invited a family of Ukrainian war refugees to share my house. Dad, mom, two middle school age sons and a five year old daughter. I don’t know if they were able to get any of their money out of Ukraine when they fled to Poland. I don’t pry into their personal life. My house is paid off so I don’t need or even want rent income. It would just complicate my taxes.

More people use more water and more electricity so the utility bills are a little larger. They qualified for food stamps and the Oregon health plan. We share cooking and cleaning duties. We respect each other’s boundaries and have built up mutual trust.

Both dad and mom are working and the kids are in school. Like most immigrants they work hard and are assets to the community.

I figure I have saved them at least $25,000 in rent and utilities at almost no cost to me. They have enriched my life.
