This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

Generations of Black patriots have fought in every battle. In every war. They fought when that freedom didn’t include them. Black History is, and will ALWAYS be, American History. #BlackHistoryMonth

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

52 years ago, Roe v. Wade secured the reproductive rights women fought for. In 2022, Dobbs overturned it & 22 states restricted our freedoms. 2 days ago, Trump took down reproductiverights.gov. But @reprocaucus.bsky.social will continue to share abortion resources. Your body, your choice!

You can't shame MAGA. It's impossible to shame shameless people. I go on and debate them, trust me. They will make excuses for and glorify Musk's Nazi salute and Trump pardoning violent insurrectionists. But remember there's a world out there - and the majority opposes it. Be loud. Don't be silent.

History has had extremely dark times when humankind had all reasons to be ashamed and terrified of itself... but I'm trying really hard to recall a time when so many things around were such a grave insult to basic human intellectual capabilities.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs. So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.
