Today, Jane Fonda came to boost one of our local candidates for County Commissioner - which has been six Republicans for the last 60 years. Fonda's PAC picks progressive / environmental candidates down ballot to back.
The last two contestants for CC3 each increased our vote percentage but never enough to win. Perhaps this is the year. #politics
Today, there are more factories getting built, more auto and construction jobs, and more American energy being produced than any day when Donald Trump was president. - Tim Walz

Biden needs to do a gish gallop of edgy executive orders and flood the capacity of the other side to stop him. Then do more of them to stop the efforts that do come up.
Go all "Dark King Biden" on their ass. #politics
With Victor Orbán of Hungary showing up tomorrow at Mar-A-Lago with a diplomatic pouch that can't be examined, if the FBI/CIA/DOJ haven't managed to turn somebody on Trump's staff to find out what that is, they're falling down on their job. #politics
If only we could follow suit with TFG. #politics
"Former Pakistan President Imran Khan sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of leaking state secrets; ruling comes ahead of Feb. 8 national elections."
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco has a unique opportunity to kick some badly neeglected legal proceedings in to gear while AG Garland is out with back surgery....just saying. I don't know who she is or how inclined she would be, but wouldn't that be a hoot? #politics
Looks like an innovative way to lower student debt costs or eliminate them for most people. It gets around the Republicans trashing biden's student loan forgiveness. First I have seen of this. It needs to get wider attention.

2/2 Wallace continues:
“They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest.
“Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”
Thom Hartman, quoting FDR's 2nd VP Henry Wallace (a Socialist in fine standing): “The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact,” Wallace wrote. “Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the common front against fascism. They use every opportunity to impugn democracy.”

“On the day of our victory, I’ll put away my uniform, don an elegant gown and heels, and celebrate. I’ll get married and have a big happy family. But I’ll never forget the men & women who died for our freedom," Ivanna Lemeshko once wrote.
Ivanna died in combat this week.

This war criminal is still alive.
*50 years ago on 9/11, Nixon and Kissinger killed Allende and Chile's Socialist Democracy*
Kissinger: "I read the briefing paper for this meeting and it was nothing but Human Rights," he told Carvajal. "The State Department is made up of people who have a vocation for the ministry. Because there are not enough churches for them, they went into the Department of State."
Greg Olear - Sunday Pages: "The Charge of the Light Brigade"
A poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
"If the First World War was dumb and avoidable, the Second World War was a necessary fight against a genocidal autocratic madman. The first Crimean War was dumb and avoidable. The war happening in Crimea now is a necessary fight against a genocidal autocratic madman."

Good hot summer afternoon!
I know you 'nauts, I trust you won't mind me making this small ask.
My friend Rich started this Change petition to get Colorado to make the return envelopes for your vote postage free. He's just short of 500 signatures - over that it gets promoted better. Do me a favor, add your signature.
42% of first-time voters don’t have a stamp in their home, yet returned ballots jumped from 43% to 74% when postage free. #voting #politics

Call it Bidenomics. Call it luck, but the overall American economic situation is strong and getting stronger by a long shot. Not everyone feels this and certainly the media doesn't reflect this. Negativity drives clicks. I'm a Bernie socialist, but I think Biden has done an amazing job. Or call it luck.
