On this issue alone, Phil Scott is unfit, unserious, and unwilling to do his job as governor of #Vermont. Addressing the homeless and housing problems requires leadership from the top, and he's failed. Why do we keep voting for him as Governor? On housing/homeless and education, he's a failure.

I'm finding it hard to concentrate on work. I've switched from news and talk to Symphony Hall, OnBroadway or Indie1.0 on Sirius. This is a more dangerous time than the Civil War or McCarthy. Truth is in great danger. The monster is in the house. The monster is Trump.

Do you use Waze? If you see ICE on the roads, be sure to enter a warning. I know it's June here in #Vermont, but there's ice, and there's ICE. Know what I mean, jellybean? Always warn about ICE.

Anybody who thinks that Bluesky is a bubble where people just reinforce each others’ opinions should try sharing an opinion on Bluesky.
