And so it begins....

A San Antonio man was arrested for punching a poll worker who told him to remove his MAGA cap while in the polling location.

A supporter of President Trump's was arrested yesterday in Pennsylvania for encouraging republican voters to stay in the early voting line repeatedly and block the line in order to discourage democrat voters.

I'm doing "Books for Treats" in the library this week (check out a book, get a treat) and I just had three kids come in obviously for the treat and not the book.

...yeah, but y'all left with books so I win 😆

Just dropped off my ballot!

It's a little embarrassing to admit but at 42 years old, this is the first time I've ever voted. I never felt like I needed to before, or that my vote actually mattered. I do not feel that way now. #Voted

It's been a rough few years. I feel it too. Pop up some filters and stay away from the news. Chronic stress is a killer. Please take care of yourself. I've added time to my workouts to counter balance the added stress, but I also take breaks for days. It's helpful and I'd suggest it to everyone.

You can't pour from an empty cup, as the old saying goes 🩷

It's an interesting divergence to watch..

Republicans who had no problem with Reagan creating and popularizing the demeaning trope of the welfare queen now needing to decide if Trump and his legions have carried Trump's own brands of dehumanization too far.

At what point it is too much? And why wasn't it too much at the beginning of Reagan's malicious callousness?

Take this advice, #VoteBlue

Voters mailing in ballots with states that require they be received by Election day need to mail them tomorrow at the latest - per USPS
