@mikabry.bsky.social Thank you for saying “not home.” Sorry you didn’t go on a bit longer. Not home was worthy of a real rant, Joe and Malcolm Nance style.

92, Democrat, marched against Vietnam War; teacher, musician, linguist; Fulbright scholar, Paris. Lived on a small boat in France for 10 years, including Iraq debacle. Politics always, family history. As a child was involved in the “war effort” of WWII.

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social Thank you for Sheldon Whitehouse again. Whitehouse in the Whitehouse in 2029 to get US back in the world and get climate change back on the agenda ASAP. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag.)
@arimelber.bsky.social Comey leaked classified information? How about Hegseth? Has everyone forgotten?

@weissmann.substack.com The best news this 92-yr old GOTV postcard writer who fears not living to the end of this nightmare has had since 20216 watching the post WWII world fall apart. The Cleveland Plain Dealer adds to the good news. Thanks to all those in the legal profession who are standing up!

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social But 11 children is too many. It’s anti everything we needed 20th century. See UN on population. Her Catholic faith and money were a problem instead of a solution. That’s the sad part. Listen to the current female Kennedy sound like her brother. Voice quality speaks loudly.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041
@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social It’s Papa Putin! It’s build Trump Tower Moscow. The guy who’s talking is right on target. If I could afford the Atlantic, would read it. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag.)
@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social You go, Jacob. Chicago downtown is a nightmare of ICE sirens. We have a gulag in the suburbs too. My postman has become a friend with GOTV postcards mailing. Please continue to remind daily until the last runoff is done. Also threats: Kochs in Kansas/Iowa, LePen in France.
An Iowa Republican’s Unusual Connection to the Kochs (and Kansas) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/u... @weissmann.substack.com Koch enterprises has not left Russia?
@chrislhayes.bsky.social Please see NYT article on Koch connection in Kansas. Assuming you know that Koch Enterprises never left Russia. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, suburban gulag.)

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social How about Trump’s relationship to Putin? Does that trouble Ted Cruz?
@nicollewallace.bsky.social Is it true that DT has sold a chunk of ALASKA to Putin for $25 billion? (From Blundell this morning.)
@maddow.bsky.social Is it true that DT has sold a piece of Alaska to Putin for 25 billion? (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, suburban gulag.)
@ahylton26.bsky.social Is it true that Trump has sold a piece of Alaska to Putin for 25 billion?
@sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social Hooray! Getting Hope and Change onstage is brilliant and gives this 92-yr old GOTV postcard writer a boost. Back to work, good luck, and thanks! (Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7 and suburban gulag.)
@weissmann.substack.com If it is true as I read a headline of Blundell this am, that DT has sold US land to Putin for $25 billion, can the sale be blocked and DT be exiled? Impeachment is inadequate for so enormous a crime. (Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag.)
@michaelsteele.bsky.social Bravo and bravi! You are giving deep breaths to lots of US who, like me at 92, are hearing ICE sirens 24/7 and have nearby gulags. We need all the exposure of the real illegals (DT&Co) that you can give US. It’s hope for 11/3. (Chicago, GOTV postcard writer.)
@chrislhayes.bsky.social Can you bring up Vance’s speech to the AfD in the current context to remind again of who he is?
@peterbakernyt.bsky.social Would anyone tell DT that the Iranians will have a nuclear weapon (if they decide to make it) as surely as they make Persian rugs. (Can he understand that?)
@nedprice.bsky.social Good job this noon! Thanks from a 92-yr old in Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag, tired of DT s***. Clarity is life saving!

@jenpsaki.bsky.social You go, girl! Good job. The attack on Ilhan Omar ruined my day. Wow, is she strong! As impressive as she is lovely.
@nicollewallace.bsky.social Thank you for sticking with this terrible day. Doing all I can, having watched US through DT since the building of Trump Tower in NYC and the stiffing of the Polish immigrant workers who tore down Bonwit-Teller. May democracy survive this criminal and his mafia. (Chicago)
@jamessample.bsky.social This is a fan text. On the worst days, your calm and knowledge are soothing to this 92 year old who has lived through so much to arrive at this preposterous moment. (Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag.)
@richardhaas301.bsky.social if this is the you I am looking at on MSNOW (14:14 CDT), hoping that thanks to your description who Putin is is getting through to Americans who have trouble understanding what’s going on. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag, voter for Dems only since Eisenhower.)
@peteralexandertvs.bsky.social Please don’t refer to Floyd marches as “riots.” They were protests with some rioters, but definitely not “riots.” Peter, it sounds racist. I don’t suspect you of that. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag.)
@stephruhle.bsky.social I can’t believe you haven’t known this for months. Of course ICE will be used in polling places!
@stephruhle.bsky.social THANK YOU FOR IGOR! Recognized his voice immediately. Do you know what he’s doing? Last I remember he was out of government. Can’t imagine he’s not involved. Press?
@stephruhle.bsky.social What is Musk’s relationship to Putin? Thinking about starlink pause.
@mikabry.bsky.social The cruelty of which Remnick speaks was learned at home: Father KKK, racist, lying in court. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag.)
@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social How about knowing as Paul Krugman AND Hillary Clinton did what DT’s presidency could mean. Both warned US. But sadly not enough voters were paying attention. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7, gulag, only weapon left: postcards to voters.)
@davidrohde.bsky.social Check out MSNBC from 2016: “Russia, if you hear me, find those emails.” That, the 2013 Beauty Pageant in Moscow should give you more insight into DT. Then there’s the trial and the lawyer. Please be intelligent about DT. Americans need that. (92, Chicago, ICE sirens 24/7.)
@stephruhle.bsky.social The French will solve this. The situation there is because of US. Our mess with DT is being felt in Europe, where Putin is already causing problems thanks to our don. (92, Fulbright, 10 years on a boat in French canals, now Chicago w/ICE sirens 24/7 and gulag.)
