It was all in Project 2025…

This is worth another watch

Manifest his demise. Speak it.

This is on our state legialators and their abandonment of the principle of a fair, useful, and free primary education for all.

So TIME Magazine is putting convicted felons and adjudicated rapists on their cover now? How disgraceful.

There is a cycle of forgetting that average (and that level is becoming less and less demanding) humans lose track of history and then, stupidly, repeat it.

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet. #HealthCareForAll

No distractions.. We gotta pay attention to the background noise...

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has. Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years. Let that end now.

Nothing says “lead the Pentagon” like mommy making phone calls for her very good boy.

United Health Care's CEO is murdered on his way to an investor conference today and the stock at a little over $600 a share barely moves a dollar. Tell me again why CEO's are paid tens of millions in salary? This example says the CEO had ZERO impact on UNH's value. ZERO. #UNH #Executivepay#elonmusk

M. Garland got so caught up in the optics that the optics are now REALLY bad. A note for his successor: When you are dealing with politicians everything you do will appear political. You can’t avoid it. In fact, the more you try, the more political it will appear. So…just do your Goddamn job.

Just in case you weren’t sure just how bad it’s going to be under Trump, with his selection of Patel you should now be clear about just how much pain he plans to bring to this country. Oh, and I’ll NEVER buy that bullshit about Donald Trump’s ear being “hit” by a bullet. What a F’king joke.

I’ve been on Twitter (now X) since 2011. I forgot what it feels like to be excited to scroll through my replies and engage with folks until now. I guess I had Stockholm syndrome. Thank you, everyone. 🙏🏽❤️

“But the eggs were just so expensive.”

A Missouri judge permanently struck down four provisions of the state’s sweeping voter suppression law, House Bill 1878, that criminalized civic engagement activities like voter registration and the distribution of absentee ballot applications. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a good day to thank undocumented immigrants. 🦃 3/4 of them are essential workers vital to keeping our country running. They make up: 📌 23% of construction workers 📌 40%–55% of agriculture workers 📌 25% of food preparation & serving workers 📌 8% of healthcare workers

This place is filled with kind and smart people. The other site not so much. Happy Thanksgiving beautiful people! 🍁💗

Wolves are essential.

@ryan-holiday.bsky.social I just finished Discipline is Destiny on Audible. It is a new favorite. Weaving the concepts of self discipline and honor with stories of the historical giants who did (and did not) walk the talk was a compelling device. I'll listen again with pleasure. Nice work.

Elon Musk is an example of the idea that money is merely an amplifier. If you are an asshole, you’ll just be a bigger asshole as your income swells. If you are a decent human being who looks out for others, you’ll do even more for others with more money. Fuck that guy.

#thanksgiving #gratitude #selfdiscipline Five weeks ago I stepped on the scale and was at 210 lbs. Too much. I swore off alcohol and committed to food control. The #LoseIt app was critical; I've dropped 18 lbs. Definitely a Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey, grown-ups! Don't tell kids that reading is a worthwhile and pleasurable activity - show them! Let them catch you reading a book and sighing, or laughing, or emitting little squeaks of fear, or going back and rereading a bit out loud to yourself. Be a model reader! #reading

Libraries are the beating hearts of most cities and towns. They are always adding services and are relevant, even critical, to millions.

I just self published my first book (at 57 yrs) on Kindle and its been downloaded a few times. So I guess I'm an author now.

Literally .
