My dad died yesterday. He cried the day Nazi’s marched on Charlottesville, warning me of the peril we faced at the hands of a madman & his followers. He was admitted to a psych ward on 1/7-the events of 1/6 sent him to a place he never recovered from. He’s free & I won’t forget.
I am officially a Doctor of Law, and I turn 58 this week. After Trump was elected, I realized how tenuous our democracy was, and how everything comes down to the rule of law. The wealthy have protections the marginalized rarely do. I intend to help the latter. Now comes the bar!

Thank you for doing the right thing. This should follow him wherever he goes. He’s a grown man- this behavior didn’t come out of nowhere. He’s an abuser.

E. Jean, it’s unfair that justice for many of his victims are resting on your shoulders now- but they are broad shoulders, strong shoulders and I have no doubt they can bear this weight... they truly already have. Godspeed, good soul.
These two cutie pies turn 21 today! My son Drake and his dear friend share the same birthday and extra chromosome- will you please join me in wishing them a happy birthday. They are separated by a few states but will share a toast and birthday song over zoom tonight!
I never thought this day would come. When our sons diagnosis came, as a newborn, the doctors told us not to expect much from him. They were wrong. Very wrong. Today he voted, and I cried my eyes out!

Let’s put it this way- I don’t think it’s the stock market.
I think something much, much bigger is on the horizon.
The criminal horizon.

It isn’t, Sara, and to those of us studying law right now- it’s glaringly obvious that there are, in fact, two systems of justice. She is supposed to be blindfolded. She isn’t. We have to change that.

I talked to the head of the biggest MAGA klan family I know- the entire Trump loving family has turned against him- calling him a *liar*. Why? Because the patriarch of the family has symptoms of COVID, is a veteran, and can’t get tested. The tide has turned-DJT will go to prison!

He was 83- lived a long, adventurous life, but he was shaped by his experiences as a child in Norway, under Nazi occupation. By the time the Scott’s came to liberate them-he and his younger siblings were emaciated, terrified and starving. He never thought he’d see Nazi’s again.

My hatred for Donald Trump is going to eat me up, from the inside out, unless I figure out some way to mitigate it. I’m a loving person- kind and thoughtful. The anger and rage I feel almost daily is killing my vibrant spirit. I channel it for good, but I need new tools.

Do you know what it felt like as an average citizen? Horrible- not for the money spent, or the laws broken- but because every person that spoke there or attended hates me, my children and family and wishes us ill will. That’s ghastly, un-American, un-Democratic and cruel.

He was on my flight 2 years ago from LA to Newark. We are waiting in line to board- around 10:00pm. He walks up dressed casually, alone, and a Frenchman in front of me, asks him for a photo. He’s like- “sure man”, they posed and laughed together. I had no idea how tall he was.
A bullet from an assault weapon can travel nearly triple the speed of sound. It liquefies tissue and vaporizes bone. It destroys children’s faces. Last year 99% of republicans voted no to banning war weapons like the one used last night in Maine.

be present at the debates to fact check the candidates after each response. For trumps lies to stick, he’s had to repeat them, so we know which ones he will go to, and Dale can have the tweets and receipts cued up.

This is *unprecedented* Unvaccinated kids need to stay home for 21 days during an outbreak. Why? A very real chance of infection, hospitalization, death or serious damage to the immune system.

I know. I have generational trauma from it. My dad drank more than he should have, because of it. He cried to me the day after Nazi’s marched with tiki torches on Charlottesville. Drumpf sent my father to an early grave. I will never, ever forget it.

@RobertGarciaLB
My father was 2 when the Nazis invaded Norway- 8 when Scottish Soldiers liberated them. He was starving by that time & witnessed atrocities no child should ever have to- especially in a neutral country. He’s been a US citizen since 1963- he’s drinking himself to death over this.
If you don’t want to say it loud I will. Trump is Hitler reincarnated. He removes us military from Syria, moments after Turkey is invading. Ethnic cleansing is happening and Trump allows it. He is a bloody KILLER!!!!!

Disgruntled Hillary supporters.

Thank you for sharing Connie. I had a teacher in elementary school- Mr. Knox, from Knoxville, Tennessee. He told me I could be anything. I believed him. It mattered. It stayed with me, all of these years. I’m 55 years old and just passed my first year of law school.

Why isn’t anyone talking about the potential for blackmail of Brett Kavanaugh by people who know things about his past. It’s disqualifying for low level jobs in the defense industry- we are talking about a Supreme Court justice here. Gambling, sexual assaults or indiscretions?
Yolanda picks radishes in Moorpark CA. She is paid for the number of bunches she picks and then uses a rubber band to hold each bunch. Radishes are a popular garnishment to tacos, menudo and salads. When you buy radishes remember the skilled work of Yolanda.

You have no idea how much I needed to read this today, at this moment. I cannot thank you enough for your honesty, it reached my heart in a very dark moment for me.
It’s unsettling times like these that I think it’s important to find joy when we can. I gave up a baby for adoption when I was 19. My husband found him and we reconnected. I am not his mother, he has a wonderful mother, but he is my son, and this is my grandson! I am so proud.

I’m angry!
Are you angry?
Are we angry enough to step out of our comfort zones and fight for our rights and the rights of others?
