Just returned from the No King's protest in Brazos County, TX

I was astounded at the turnout! This is a super red county, but we lined both sides of the street for several blocks. Perhaps even more encouraging were the overwhelmingly positive responses we got from the traffic, which was amazingly heavy for a downtown Saturday morning. I am more hopeful than I've been in a long, long time. Of course, it was completely peaceful, with several good citizens providing water, lemonade and even snacks and chairs for those who needed them. The crowd consisted of folks of all adult age groups--I saw no children. I didn't see any camera crews, but noted a couple of drones that surely must have been photographing the crowd size. I can hardly wait to see what the local news has to say about the event! We have a lot of good warriors on our side--I even met with one woman who is a Libertarian. Like she said, when you've lost the Libertarians, you don't stand a chance.

Peace and courage everyone! The momentum is on the side of DEMOCRACY!!!!

Found this on a political thread I was observing:

Wouldn’t it be cool if someone could use technology during the televised part of Trump’s parade to exchange every image of him observing the parade with an image of him in his birthday suit showing all his flowing flab and his flaccid dick (they’d probably have to magnify that a LOT!) instead? Just like the story of the Emperor’s Clothes?

I deleted my ActBlue account.

I was going to delete it anyway because I'm fed up with the spam texts that just don't stop no matter how many times I reply STOP. But today, it seems like the right thing to do for other than my selfish reasons. It feels like Reischstag just burned.

We are all so caught up in the embarrassment of Trump, but we have overlooked the more obvious...

…risk for our nation: Putin is going to murder Trump. This is just a matter of time. When Trump is done destroying the foundations of American democracy, Putin will no longer need Trump and his murder will be imminent. I know there will be some that will be happy for this to happen, but this is a grave danger to our nation and we need to help people understand what to expect. We need to spread the word. This is what Putin does when he no longer needs people. There are far more intelligent people that could replace Trump. I am far more alarmed than I was before I realized this. We need to alert people to this! ASAP!!!!

There are veggie burgers and there are veggie BURGERS!

That's what I made for dinner last night. Actually I made the burgers last month and vacuum sealed them then froze them for busy nights. Last night was one of those nights. I remember making those burgers the night I first made them and they were good, but not nearly as good as they were last night. Could be something in the freezing process made them even better. They had great texture, none of that mushy business, and fabulous flavor. But they were a HUGE hassle to make. If I owned a factory, those are the kinds of foods I'd make and sell. Many, many processes involved though.
