If democracy lovers do everything we can for the next 14 months to defeat the ongoing attempted coup by The Former Guy and his insurrection-excusing allies in the GOP, we will be okay. I know everybody is already exhausted, so first let me point you to an article about a future that you’ll want

My kidney doctor says my medical checkup tests all came back within their usual parameters (no changes to my kidney function) except that I’m anemic and I apparently have an infection happening somewhere inside my body.

I’m getting too drawn into the upcoming trial of The Former Guy. Gotta back it down significantly. It’s beginning to affect my life in negative ways. Enough said. What I will say is that if he doesn’t pay for his crimes with serious jail time, I will never trust the justice system again.
