Midwestern-born boomer who has lived abroad, traveled widely and is always open to new perspectives. I believe deeply in the promise of the USA … and know that what MAGA is peddling betrays that promise.

The unlawful seizure of data, payments, hiring and even real estate control by an unelected & unfettered digital narcissist at the behest of a power grabbing chief executive is the only story right now. As I noted Friday, this is a hostile takeover and our nation’s lawmakers are sleeping through it.

Why would I pay attention to that when I can honor MLK instead?

José Andres is an absolutely extraordinary human being and we would all do well to emulate him.

They'll probably just have an AI generated hologram for the Presidency by then. Dang, it's so weird that the Wizard of Oz now seems like a true story.

I wonder if there's a secret ceremony where they actually have to kneel. i guess they are all just grateful that Trump has proven that all that "rule of law" stuff was just a concept and they can now proceed to ignore laws and regulations. He will pardon them all with a regal sweep of the hand

Well they’d better hop aboard their Mars transport now if they ever want to get there!!!! I’ll contribute to a Go Fund Me to pay for a MAGA grand tour of the planets if they leave now.

So I say we take Epstein’s island, send all the billionaires there and watch a modern day version of Lord of the Flies unfold.

I think we have to stop using the word “fear” and its derivatives. Fear can be paralyzing even when the threat is still not well understood; to paraphrase FDR, we must fear Fear itself. For 9 years we have been reacting to Emperor Ebenezer. We need to go on offense.
