How is Beto doing in Texas?

Went to see TILL this afternoon

Haven’t been to the movies since before Covid but I wanted to go..went by myself as I like the movies based on true events. It was a tad long but this had to be told n I thought the emotion of this story came thru like I was there witnessing it. I recommend it

Did tfg say this country is evil?

I caught the last bit of a text/msg of him saying elections are rigged n this country is evil. Did I see that right? It was on Alex Wagners show, I think.. maybe someone caught it n can help me out?

A quick word or two about Antifa

You know, the boogeyman the r’s dont understand n swear it’s after them...

There is no organization called “Antifa”
Antifa stands for anti-fascism
WWII veterans were Antifa b/c they fought fascism
Anyone who is against fascism is Antifa
There is no membership card
Anyone can be Antifa
Everyone should be Antifa

Hope that clears it up for em. Wouldn’t want them to be uninformed

I'm not afraid of karma

Ya get what ya a give. She’s sometimes slower than we’d like but.. she catches up.

A couple of threads on SS n the GOP scheme tonight

I found this as I get these in my email everyday.. I hadn’t read it until just now. Hope it helps
hartmannreport.com The Daley Take is How to Fight the NewGOP Scheme To Kill SS n Medicare. Everyday he has a new report on this site.. lots on Medicare Advantage

Welp..I'm officially old...

Yesterday’s eye exam was not so good..can’t get a prescription for contacts ..my cataracts are too bad.. SnL sucks..could not understand a word the special guest sang .. my mailbox is overflowing w/ Medicare offers..everyone calling me “m’am “ .. my naps are what I look forward to n technology has left me damn near completely in the dust. Well..closer than that, actually. Every time I ask my niece, I see her eyes roll. Aggg... but, to tell the truth.. I’m happy 😊

Greetings from Fort Myers.

Just got my services up today n I sure have missed you, my Friends! Ian was the most horrific storm I have ever been in n I’ve been thru a few. I am safe n no damage to speak of, thankfully, but feel like a refugee, at times, b/c I’ve taken so many things for granted. Our water still needs boiled where I am but I HAVE water..some don’t. Some don’t have anything at all. Take good care of those you love is all I can say..Mother Nature can slap ya around some 🌺

Just watched part 1 of Ken Burns' documentary on PBS

The US and the Holocaust. I thought it was very well done although my jaw is tight. I see so many parallels from this history n what Is going on here today and I’m worried..just about scared. I am not naive to think it could never happen here when I see the people saluting like Nazis at the rally in Ohio just last night. I just don’t understand why the powers to be can’t nip this in the bud before it’s too late. How much more evidence do we need to make the case of insurrection n those responsible? I have faith in our system but I’m afraid time is not on our side.

It's Labor Day Weekend

Lots of mattresses on sale n other stuff but not a word of why this is set aside for the labor of our country n to celebrate them. As a proud union member for over 30 years, our history is long and filled w/ wins n losses. Tears n blood. A few highlights..we all know of the Matewan coal mining d strike in WV but they finally recognized unions w/ the National Industrial Recovery Act 1933. Then, the United mine workers. The Breads n Roses strike in 1912. 1933 Frances Perkins becomes first woman secretary of labor..I could go on about Mother Jones who got active after her shop burned down. We have a strong history of human rights..equality..decent days pay for a day’s work. Today, health benefits, parental leave, and I’m preaching to the choir but they came at a cost. Buy a mattress or a ‘fridge but know this holiday is for all of us in the work force..union or not. We have a long history in solidarity, I say Happy Labor Day.. support your local unions n I thank you. ✊
