Here because of my disgust with Elon & for the writers & editors Writer still unpublished. I'm a freelance flak, because my 2 MA's (African Studies/International Affairs) never led to a career & law school wouldn't have me. I did manage to raise 2 kids.

Trump's Houthi war was a costly failure. This does not bode well for the impending sneak attack on Denmark. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

The political lesson of Watergate is this: Never again must America allow an arrogant, elite guard of political adolescents to by-pass the regular party organization and dictate the terms of a national election. Gerald R. Ford Guess the Republicans didn't learn that lesson

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) tariffs make no economic sense because “[t]hey aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.”

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

WATCH: At the same moment Republicans were censuring Rep. Al Green in D.C — Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social was honoring him in Tennessee👇🏽 He likened the image of Green holding up his cane to Moses standing up to Pharaoh Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DG3Y-81...

To the 10 Dems that voted to censure Al Green, You're part of the problem here, why the party can't get their shit together. The "Republicans" at least all join forces in kissing Cheeto Satan's ass. There should have been a rally behind Green, not this bullshit. Figure it out fuckers, quickly.
