Today at the grocery store

The hubby saw a guy in line as we left and called me over to see his T-shirt. The guy was an older white gentleman. His shirt said in large letters: I HAVE A DREAM and a picture of an ICE agent arresting trump.
Everyone in line and the employees turned, noticed it, and broke into laughter and applause.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the mood out there as we head into midterms.

Maybe not so much here in a blue area, but I've seen it here too. A moment of levity was welcome.

Guys like Mamdani and Platner are. It's powerful and if harnessed it can make 1994 look like a speed bump. In the opposite direction.
