Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

They have not yet gone after political opponents, but this just feels like a path toward our own version of Dachau.

Newspeak at work. Don’t call it ethnic cleaning, it’s just relocating. Doesn’t everyone move a few time in their life?

Catch-22, only instead of a war movie it's moving to a Schengen zone country. You need a bank account in order to rent a place to live, but without a local address you can't open a bank account.

I student taught 1st graders (they are now in their early 40s 😳) and each AM part of the room entry was singing along to The Days of the Week song. So now I’m learning French and what am I doing to memorize days of the week? Yep. Same tune, different words.

I wish my local, McClatchy owned newspaper would catch a clue from this. Most of what little content there is is syndicated and has little meaning. Give me what's happening with local and state government.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.
