Re: last reboost - For me, preventing #Republican victories in as many #elections as possible this year is a bare minimum first goal in a series of many to achieve the transformational results the majority of us seem to want, and definitely need.
No hyperbole: It should be evident now that if we fail and allow a Republican #President or their control (or stalemate) of either body of #Congress, or similar or greater control of state and local positions as now, we're doomed, or dead.
I've never liked #Biden (but voted for him), and since 1980 have hated the cowardice and complicity of the #Democratic party to the point where I didn't vote in 1988-1992.
I voted independent in 1980 and 2000 (#Anderson, #Nader) in a futile effort to signal my disgust, both times ending in the worst possible result.
The #Democrats are the emergency, worst case option, like the levees around #NewOrleans.
Unfortunately, until we collectively build better solutions, we drown without them.
In this week's Pagan Community Notes: New Orleans inaugurate a National Vodou Day, a defense of Paganism shared by interfaith minister, events, and more, including our Tarot of the Week.

The line for the show was so long but we made it. It was pretty good. Also I found out Degas’s family was in the cotton business and had to look it up. 😬
What do the MAGA clique make of this when they visit the #WWII#museums in #NewOrleans? Do Trumpers still subscribe to the “greatest generation” mythology, or was all that just woke nonsense, the beginning of our decline? How can MAGA hedz be nostalgic for a past that America went to war to dismantle?

Galactic - Tchompitoulas
A short but in your face EP which proves Galactic still has it (and then some) and that they can still fish the best collaborations in town. #funk#neworleans#music
Debating taking an extra rest day tomorrow instead of adding in a measly 2-3 miles, mostly because the garmin is yelling at me.
On the one hand, #garmin is not wrong; I am in #NewOrleans, so sleep hasn’t exactly been a priority.
On the other hand, I could make the week‘s mileage despite #travel shenanigans if I run! #running#training
