I'm just a guy hoping my 4th quarter isn't spent under a fascist regime. Gardening, classical guitar, cooking, and hiking are some of my interests.

well done, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Wow! What a hero! 💙

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Please vote to have Hochul remove Adam's. Integrity matters, no? I'm an ex-Brooklynite (Sheepshead Bay) if that amounts to anything.

Let Denmark cook.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Pete Hegseth will be a miserable failure and embarrassment as one of "the best people" in Trump's administration.

I kept this screenshot assuming someday we might be asked to forget.

15 years of Citizens United have shown us that money corrupts politics. We are going to have to take back our democracy from the forces of greed! #StopTheOligarchy

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does
