I’m an 81 year old who is appalled at what is going on in our country. I will speak out until I am too old to see the letters on my phone or too addle-brained whichever comes first. Singer,writer, teacher, traveler. NO DM’s!

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

The diesel purchased from Russia is coming from Putin’s oil company IN ALASKA. We’re paying Russia for diesel PRODUCED IN THE US.

Russian ballistic missiles struck campus territory, a park and a metro station. There are killed and wounded. Russian terror is constant, they are killing people daily. Ukraine needs air defense!

Why is the richest man in the world trying to buy a senate seat in Texas? Musk and Corrupt Ken Paxton are cut from the same cloth. Neither are native Texans but think Texas belongs to them alone Elon’s millions have failed to move the needle for Corrupt Ken at all. Texas will not be bought

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

The Republican Party surrounding themselves with pedophiles, rapists, and their supporters is nothing short of a bizarre turn for the Moral Majority folks.

I grew up Catholic & went to parochial schools , but am now an atheist . Anyone advocating for putting religion/ Bible in schools needs to listen. Our kids don’t need religion.

In 3 days, Netanyahu will be history. He and his racist, fascist clowns will face the courts on their way to jail, and Israel will belong to its people again. The insanity ends here. Israel starts the shift to a brighter future, and the rest of the world must follow! Video by Amir Goldstein

From Zelenskyy. Patriot interceptors that could save innocent lives are sitting in European countries for weeks, which they paid for, unable to be transferred to Ukraine because Hegseth refuses to sign off.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Apart from being a liar, a con man, a thief, a fascist sociopath, a rapist, a racist, an arrogant fool and the world's biggest asshole, there is absolutely nothing genuine about him.

Muslims didn’t storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government. White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did. We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.

It took decades and multiple stages before Rome, for example, got to consolidated autocracy. But it was still more or less within a single lifetime, and things move faster now. We can't afford to neglect what the trendline means on that kind of timescale. Most of us will still be around for it.

"Lord, we pray that you lift up Ken Paxton, a serial adulterer who constantly bears false witness, covets material things-- like houses--and disgraces your holy name with his shameless corruption, so that we may continue not to pay taxes and hate all the same people he does. Glory!"
