I biked from noe to the conservatory of flowers today with the kid on the back and HOT DAMN it was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of my #biking life.
Gorgeous gorgeous day. Got to ride up Page #SlowStreet, which is just so lovely. Then down #JFK which is honest to good one of the most beautiful promenades on the planet right now. There was art! There was nature! There was community!
God, #SanFrancisco you can really show off when you want to.
If a #Democrat wants change, they just wait 40 or 50 lifetimes, and maybe, just maybe, the billionaires will find a cookie for you that they haven't peed on first.
#SCOTUS is the Supreme Court for Billionaire Rapists, Thieves, Seditionists and Traitors.
The price of justice in #America is money. Open a bag of it. Spread it around. Pay for dirt on everyone. Use that dirt to get your way. Make everyone bow.

In September 1939, while entering the Western Approaches (the area of the Atlantic to the west of the UK and Ireland) she was torpedoed by U-30, a German submarine, making her the first British ship to be sunk by Germany in World War Two.
It's late on Nov 22, 2023, but I managed to get this next installment of my newsletter out the door, & also posted on Facebook.

Former President John F. Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy were only supposed to drop by and say hi during a Nov. 21, 1963, gathering of Mexican American activists in Houston. Instead, something special happened 60 years ago today #jfk#lulac#vivakennedy#axios#axioslatino

President Kennedy on John Birch Society—right wing extremism 1961, “the basic good sense and stability of the great American consensus has always prevailed” over “the discordant voices of extremism.”
#NowWatching Oliver Stone’s JFK. The movie has issues, but it’s one of the best edited movies ever made, and the supporting cast is amazing. Gary Oldman, Joe Pesci, Tommy Lee Jones,John Candy, and Kevin Bacon. I’m not a fan of Kevin Costner, but everything else is so dynamic.
