Libraries Round the World: Gibraltar’s Garrison Library & Ian Fleming aka James Bond  Most people have heard of Gibraltar, and more are going every year, especially on cruise ships. We did a three-week round-trip road trip from Malaga with much easier, seasonal non-stop flights from the USA. A…

I’m excited about going to my 3rd no kings protest on 3/28.

so tired of women being ignored or tossed off the bus - worth reading!!!

Protestors often win!

@thehill - look what you’ve helped create!

A meaningful film in today’s world won best picture & director at the Critics choice awards tonight. Definitely worth seeing the life of resistance fighters & what the go through. What timing!

What happened to this?

What happens when a reality tv show guy takes over & creates his own dystopian reality. #goodbyedemocracy #wealllose #trumplandia

Lately I feel like I’m trapped in a Stephen King horror movie that I can’t handle watching. “Don’t stir them up!”

Not a great feeling when you live 10 miles as the crow flies from the Navy’s primary east coast nuclear station (Kings Bay, St Mary’s, GA). With increased risk of retaliation due to our hotheaded, insane President, the effects would be catastrophic! I need to move.

If trump & the gop were so concerned about crime, they’d help the poor escape from poverty, provide more jobs & make education affordable or free. And if cities needed help, provide fed funds to let locals hire & support local police.

I sure hope history repeats itself. Read or watch Shakespeare’s famous play about Richard III. The rise & ultimate deadly fall on the battlefield by King Richard. He was an awful & narcissistic king of England, and a liar & ordered the murder of 2 young princes entitled to the throne. Impeach!

Goodbye to privacy of data on our tax returns! Yesterday a fraudster called about a possible fraudulent transaction by a guy supposedly with Wells Fargo. He had my real SS# & DOB. The guy texted me a link to get info. Don’t trust anyone or click on any links! #privacy #bankfraud #wellsfargo

Worth a read. Why does it keep going up?

My most recent novel is free for a couple of days. Now’s the time to take a look. link.hellobooks.com/view/684a348...

And the girl says, How about cutting what is a nice to do but not a must. Any life threatening purpose to shoot rockets & camp out on Mars or the moon? Let the billionaires fund it! The US spent $80 billion on space programs last year. First balance the budget & pay down the debt. Discipline!

It’s official! On No Kings Day, I’m marching & offered to hand out flyers with the NYC ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) This group began over 100 years ago during the communist scare when a corrupt political AG rounded up & deported thousands of so-called radicals. Sound familiar?

Congratulations to my cousin’s daughter reportere Kavitha Surana, and her colleagues, Cassandra Jaramillo, Lizzie Presser; editor Alexandra Zayas; & Editor-in-Chief Stephen Engelberg for their Pulitzer Prize award on the “Life of the Mother” series!

And now for a special request from my wild bird friends. Might save some lives so it’s important! www.audubon.org/our-work/cit...

If a citizen of another country is deported from the USA without a trial or conviction, why not send them back to where they are a citizen? Why pay El Salvador to put them in a concentration camp style prison? Where’s DOGE- taxpayers dollars being wasted!!!

Haiku for You Try your hand at Haiku poetry. Just 3 lines with 17 syllables.

NYT full page ad today. If only his oversized ego would permit him to do the sensible thing. Let’s go Impeachment # 3!

Besides losing social security, Medicare & Medicaid, seniors need to worry about kids playing the game “Senior Assassin.” They say it’s just water pistols for tgr “assassinations” but this is crazy & dangerous! Where’s the law & order that guy promised?

Headline news: “Gulf of Mexico' flows through Florida laws; renaming it 'Gulf of America' not so simple” Jim Saunders NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA What a waste of time & taxpayer money!!! How does that help anyone? So dumb!

Climate change is so real you can feel it. Florida almost never gets snow & I doubt it will be 34 years before the next snow storm. #frozen in #florida #globalwarming = #globalweirding

Operation tank the inauguration! At least we can lower the ratings which is what he cares about. Please share! @jack-e-smith.bsky.social @midastouchmedia.bsky.social #tanktheinauguration

The name AMERICA or AMERRIQUE in the Mayan language means a country of perpetually strong wind aka the Land of the Wind & a spirit that breathes life itself. Poor California is now facing the brunt of it.

“I had a woman say to me just know you will never be enough, but you can know the measure of your work if you just put down the measuring stick. I treat this as a marker that I do belong.” Demi Moore, golden globe winner. 👏🏼🎬

On the local NY 1 channel in NYC this am. Tv media that might not be owned by a I-wanna-be-a-trillionaire billionaire. Maybe Tesla employees will strike back too. The inbalance between mega billions & poverty level wages doesn’t seem fair.

Even my little local printed newspaper The News Leader in Fernandina Beach, FL clearly explained last Friday why tariffs can backfire. History tells you often what not to do! Only fools keep making the same mistakes.

The Cheese from La Mancha Find out why Sancho Panza from “Don Quixote” might say this is the world’s best cheese ever!”

I understand the cases had to be dismissed but it’s still heartbreaking. Thank you Jack Smith & DOJ!

One down & more to go. The cat lady in action. Lady Liberty to the rescue!

I’m ready for another impeachment! Isn’t the third time the charm? And if not, just keep them coming. He can win the world’s record!

Politics is now a crazy circus 🤡 & painful but maybe people will finally accept their mistake.
