Remember, yes, you are likely taking a risk with every post you make. Who knows HOW crazy and unlawful they are going get, going after perceived enemies. I'll just say this: Without people willing to take risks...nothing notable or meaningful has ever happened in world history. If not us....who?

Today we really need dozens of members of Congress to physically enter buildings that have been commandeered by DOGE interns and refuse to leave until things are fixed, whatever that might mean. I can't think of another option.

Elon Musk was not elected, is not a Federal official, and DOGE is not a real agency. Congress must act.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Pondering love...Dick Van Dyke claims it's when someone loves you more than themselves. He's 99, I wonder how he would have answered this 30 years ago. Isn't it also important to love yourself? Shouldn't there be balance?

Elders are also protesting, despite the violence of the Moscow backed government and the risk of mass arrests. The younger protestors are shielding them from the water cannons and rubber bullets. All of Georgia remains defiant. #GeorgiaProtests

I work part time (semi retired). I was debating whether to volunteer between housing or literacy. I think I'll get back into helping adults learn to read. It appears there's a need.
