    Our Constitution Is Our Shield…

    Never thought I’d pull a quote from a Libertarian site, but this is, after all, reasonable: The biggest sign in support of gay marriage—around five feet tall—was held by Lorence Wenke, a former Republican Michigan state representative. Wenke’s sign, shaped like a giant shield, read, “Our Constitution is our shield against Bible based discrimination toward our gay friends & neighbors.” Source: Impromptu Celebration Outside SCOTUS After Gay-Marriage Ruling

    The Difficult Choice The GOP Must Make

    Is it too late to cancel the order for thousands of #RebelFlag cowboy hats, banners, and shirts for election-season campaign rallies? Really don't need the optics of all those crazy-eyed people flaunting a symbol that says "heritage" to them and "hatred" to everyone else. OR: Is it too late to ORDER that stuff? Really need to pander to that anti-government closet-racist base. Hopefully without having to buy from the Chinese… at least there'll be a lot of returns from Walmart, Amazon, and Sears to pick over. 6 Companies Ban Confederate Flag Sales Read at Google+

    The Willful Ignoring Of The Truth

    +Dave Hill puts all the Rightsplainations in one place. It's not just willful ignorance, it's willfully ignoring the painfully obvious truth of Charleston. On what the Charleston shooting was REALLY about Rick Perry referred to it was an “accident” and probably involved overuse of prescription drugs: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-perry-charleston-shooting-accident-due-drug-use-manipulated-obama-ban-guns Michael Savage thought it might be drugs, too. Or maybe a government assassin: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/michael-savage-maybe-charleston-shooter-was-set-loose-government But Rick Santorum said it was all about attacks on re… Read at Google+

Mmff! 🚒🚑🚲🚲🚲⚠️⬇️⬇️⬇️🎭🎭🎭🆘💲💲💲 http://bndfr.com/Yx4qg These photos are my journey with #Diabetes since I was diagnosed in December 2015. These are all the photos connected with living with #diabetes and learning to control it with diet and exercise.

    I rode my bike 41.1 miles at Tour de Cure Chicagoland yesterday, one of the premier fundraising events of the American Diabetes Association. I fell over twice, got poop-bombed by a bird, and got my particles accelerated riding through Fermiland's beautiful prairie campus.

    I hurt everywhere, I've got an amazing variety of bruises, and my bike is covered with mud. I rode my heart out and cheered myself hoarse for other diabetic Red Riders like me, and for everybody on Team Red Chicago. It. Was. Awesome. Fundraising for the event ends July 15, so there's still time to help me #fightdiabetes. I've raised $2207.00 so far, hoping to reach my goal of $2900.00 by then.
