    I stumbled across this resource. It's an aggregate site that hosts a directory of progressive-friendly stores and services. They also highlight woman-, BIPoC-, LGBTQ-, and veteran-owned businesses. If you want to ensure that your consumer dollars don't land in a conservative superPac coffer, here's one way to vet and support small businesses. I submitted Half-Flat to their directory, but I'm still waiting on the listing to be posted.

    I feel sorry for his kids & I am never pro-murder. But it seems he might have reaped what he sowed. Of course, the horrible thing is that it ramps up the hateful rhetoric and actions even more. What a horrible world right now.

    Sadly, I don’t even recognize this country anymore. Every time I hear someone say, “this is not who we are” I think “unfortunately, it is now”. It makes me sick to my stomach and really sad. I have a 25 year old son and I don’t even want to think about what life is going to be like for him in the coming years unless there is a serious course correction.

    Hope everyone is hanging in there. I am so horrified about having a president who (in his own words) 'could care less' about bringing the country together, that I feel physically ill.

    Ruth - I agree. Every time I read a new headline I just want to cry.

    If anyone wants a "petty bestie" and is on Instagram, there is a channel with the sole aim of trolling Vance and having more followers than him. And there's silly pictures of cats in there too.

    We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be.

    More and more evidence is coming forward that Kirk's killer was a Groyper - a member of an ultra-right white-nationalist group led by Nick Fuentes. Despite sharing many social and political views, their major beef with Kirk was due to his support for Israel. He wasn't sufficiently antisemitic to carry their approval. The writings on the bullet casings were drawn from memes and catchphrases used by Groypers to lampoon liberals. So yet again, the far-right's attackers are coming from inside the house (just down in the basement, peeing in a Mountain Dew bottle, so they don't have to get up from their group chat).

    Wasn't Nick invited to dinner at the WH during his first term?

    His comment that because governor didn't request death of state senator to be honored with flags at half staff, he didn't bother ordering it. BS, he didn't order because she was not a repugnant and a woman.

    There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

    Not political, but I will miss having Robert Redford in the world.

    The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

    The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.

    Jimmy Kimmel was at the No Kings rally here in Torrance. He was so nice about having his picture taken and interacting with the crowd.
