@jamestaylor-com.bsky.social’s self-titled debut album was released in the USA in February, 1969. He was one of the guiding voices of my generation. He generally stays silent on politics, but, he could hold it in no longer. Thank you, once again, Sweet Baby James. #StandWithUkraine

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

FAFO! South Carolina is the woke-est Southern state with two SUPER Gay Senators. But SC is in the closet and still looking for the “right” girls for them to settle down with—denial is dangerous.

Andrew J. Beard (1849-1921) was born into slavery but became one of the most brilliant inventors. Even before working for various rail companies, he invented a flour mill, several plows, and a rotary steam engine. However, his most famous invention is the Jenny coupler. #BlackHistoryMonth

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Always women standing up to him: Gov. Janet Mills told Trump to his face today that Maine will not comply with his executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

Donald Trump's hunger for power was clearly displayed Friday in a brief exchange with Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine). But of course, his "we are the federal law" is a big change from his many, many years of campaigning on "states' rights."
