In Wyoming now, and actually lived in nashvegas myself for about six years a while back, good town. Have friends in Murfreesboro I try to visit on occasion. You might want to put the links and info to Physicians for National Health Plan in “Actions” so we can learn more about it.
I will do that!
My name is BJ, I’m from DC, I live in Belfast NI UK and I’m a nurse. I consider myself a disability rights advocate. I don’t hate people based on what color they are, or the type of person(s) with which they have sex.
I love Star Trek so I’m tickled by Spock being randomly chosen as my avatar.
I like knitting too much.

Dr. McCoy is my favorite, and always was way more tolerable to me than pretty much anyone else on the show.
I also love knitting, although I don’t have much down beyond straight lines yet. I love to crochet and various kinds of sewing and pretty much anything else you can do with yarn or thread or any other craft.

Hey all, my handle’s a handful so feel free to abbreviate it however you like. I’m an American permanently residing in Europe who now holds dual citizenship (twice the democracy! twice the taxes!) and has a broad range of hobbies and interests, including jewelry-making, writing, and mail swaps (tea and postcards, mostly). I’m posting right now to put off a work email, so I guess I’ll keep this brief and get back to my day job.

Hi Matt and All… This is BRuce from Ajijic, Mexico… I am born Canadian (Nova Scotia), carry two Passports, Canada and USA and am a Residente Permanente Mexican visa holder. Matt, thank you for WTFJHT… it confirms that we are not crazy thinking there is something wrong with Washington… not just Trump… and in some ways with our materialistic ways. I am a social lefty, and righty on the economics sides. Looking forward to learning what the community thinks without being brow-beaten…
Yeah. Some of what I wrote is in the interweb archives someplace, but it all went downhill quickly after IAC bought it from the NYT. It was a fun job while it lasted!
Hi all! My name is John Kyzer, I’m from Arkansas and I am a programmer. Currently working as a Data Analyst for an insurance issuer. I play in a band, I’m the Bassist. I generally digest news at about a 95% of my day rate. It’s been ritualistic for me for about 17 years. I’m a political junkie. Also, a policy wonk. I typically read everything with a grain of salt, and generally am pretty skeptical. Also, I love science. Astronomy since I was 8, Physics 12, Meteorology about 14.

Sounds more awesome than it is 
Ironically (?)* enough, I had a brief stint writing evergreen articles for a content mill that was turning around and selling them to a client who wanted to be “the next about.com.” Maybe that niche has opened up and now, finally, one of my garbage articles about rose quartz or printing your own checks can finally see the light of day~~
*maybe, like, Morissette-style irony
Hi, RevE here. Recently retired. My last gig was as a minister of a new thought center in SWFL. Left the comfortable left bank otherwise known as Los Angeles about 10 years ago to wind up in a town that is just short of 75% republican, we have a neighbor who still has his Trump/Pence sign on his lawn, I guess he didn’t get the message that the election is over.
Trump is a disaster as a president, even George W looks good at this point. The challenge I see is that it is not enough to resist or be against Trump. The winning party in 2018 and beyond must have a clear and compelling message that captures the hearts and minds of the vast majority of voters, this is how the tables will be turned. The GOP gets poor people to vote in favor of issues that effect the rich and put in jeopardy the programs that support them like ACA, Medicare and Social Security to name a few. What is the message and who is going to deliver it!
Hey, I’m Mark. Canadian citizen that frequently visits the States, I cannot actively effect the American elections but I know the world as a whole is affected. I’ve been receiving WTFJH almost since it’s inception and I’m happy to have it as a daily source of information on what’s going on.

I do cross stitch too but it’s mostly just Christmas ornaments 
I’m abroad as well, American in Belfast. And I love mst3k!
I worked in the corporate world for 34 years, serve on the Board of two non-profits now that I’ve stopped full time work, live on the Eastern Seaboard. A voracious reader, I am saddened by the comments I hear from people who seem to be gullible to what they read online and I am concerned for our country by what many politicians seem to believe as “truth”, most significantly DJT. The voters were manipulated into the results we are getting today in our government, I suspect it’s going to take a few years before this starts to be realized.

Hi, I’m Sally.
I write, I paint landscapes and keep thinking I’ll wake up and discover this is all a bad bad dream.
I want my America back.

Hi all. I’m not usually one to participate…online. Been burned too many times by trolls and have never seen the value from it, but I’m compelled here. WTFJHT has saved me in this frightening time we are living in now. New to adulting (w a toddler) I’m freaking out on all levels. I’m glad there is an equally frightened but also well educated and hopeful community here. Thanks @matt for all you’ve done and I am excited to see this site grow!
I am originally from So Cal but now reside in Central PA. Feels like I’m the only progressive here sometimes (esp when having dinner with the inlaws- trumps target market). At my last primary there were 5 positions where republicans ran unopposed. I was disgusted. I was invigorated by the berners in the area. Disenfranchised by the dems and all around depressed by everything else.
My saving grace is my loving husband and my son. The topics of import to me are healthcare, the lgbtq+ equal rights, environmental protections (keystone pipeline is not far from here) any my body’s protection. Oh and separation of church and state. I’m not religious but I’m spiritual. I’m done with the fundamentalists trying to create the rules.
As a woman I have never felt more threatened by the government than I do now. What we are facing is eventual forced pregananies by this redic Repub party. I stand with planned parenthood. I have always stood with women’s rights to chose what is best for her body. And I also stand to legalize the green gift from the gods they call Marijuana.
