Years ago, I was shocked to discover an acquaintance, and a Korean War vet, honestly believed that different races had different types of blood. I told him that the types of blood are not Black, White, Asian, and Native American, but A, B, AB, and O. #IgnoranceIsNotBliss #TeachDiversityAcceptance

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

I think DOGE should be pronounced "doggy." The G stands for Government, so the sound it makes is the hard g, like"garden". The E stands for Efficiency, which has the long e at the beginning. So, DOGE should be pronounced DOG - E, or doggy.

BIG NEWS: We're holding DOGE accountable. It's not "efficient" to allow Elon Musk's operatives to mess with the systems that send Social Security checks or pay for your mom’s doctor through Medicare. It's dangerous for the economy and a breach of privacy for millions of Americans.

If Elon Musk truly cares about being "maximally transparent," he should release the forms showing his financial interests. Americans deserve to know how Elon Musk will profit from his role in the Trump Administration. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

God save us all from the tyranny being imposed on us by weaklings, so afraid of losing their seats, that they have turned us into what we are going to become if we can't figure out how to stop America's Hitler. I'm sorry to people, including me, who thought America was better than this.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

I was excited at age 16 when the USA turned 200; I was excited that I would probably still be alive in 2026 for the 250th. Now, I'm not sure it will be achieved. This makes me sad.

Donald Trump says "everyone" he talks to thinks this-or-that cockamamie idea is beautiful, brilliant, etc. He should probably stop listening to "everyone" and start listening to the non-billionaires.

Trying to explain that I was a diversity hire after getting my MBA - I was over 50, female, and (thought I was) part Native American - to someone who accepted Trump's accusations. It's as useful as banging my head against a 🧱 wall.
