Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

What a damn mess Founding Fathers grave turning Without Doubt

Faith is the ultimate arrogance—it brashly asserts "I BELIEVE this to be true!" for no other reason than it WANTS it to be true and/or THINKS IT MUST be true. There's no humility in faith—there's only the hubris of believing one has special knowledge that needs no justification.

Christ Alive!!! Right now in @cnn.com allowed some ludicrous R congressman makes an argument for freezing grants while using false equivalence, straight lies and false claims to expertise. A junior high debate team could have better! Pamela Brown get it together

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Hats off to: @jimacosta.bsky.social He just quit CNN on the air. He did so truthfully, tactfully and with a ethical resolve. Thanks Jim, we all remark and the strong sacrifice you are making in the name of truth and decency. @CNN YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE MY BUSINESS

Snoop Dog How could you?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I cannot watch the news or read the Times. It is simply unbearable. I have taken to watching PBS shows and TED talks for any screen time. The amount of harm the GOP can do given their position is staggering. I don’t pray but somebody should.

Now is the winter of our discontent- We need to search out solutions- nothing should be off the table The planet as we know it is on the line

#congestionpricing This is an attack on working people who have to make their living in the city. We no longer have freedom of movement in NYC

Journey of 1000 miles begins with one step 1 st day of really digging into @doricoofficial.bsky.social

I have been in Washington DC for three days showing my son some of the sights. I have to say; there is a palpable feeling of impending doom here, the visagoths are due any minute

Happy New Year to All

So glad President Carter died while we still have control of the government. Trump would have screwed up the funreal completely - Mr Carter was a truly great man. This is no longer a country for ethical human beings.

Best wishes to Everyone this Holiday Season

We need to remember: they are way more inept than scary!

Here is the thing… Donald Trump and the Republican Party about to take over. He, they and their voters are unimaginably incompetent, lazy and thoughtless.

It occurs to me that if I want more followers I need to post more often… Ahhh
