My brother is a retired MD in Memphis currently in Chile on an astronomy tour. He just said: Homeland Security Investigators came to my street. No one home. Blue lights flashing up and down my street with men in bullet proof vests and rifles knocking on my front door. #politics #USA #NoKings

It’s not just Catholic anymore!
I’m NOT endorsing her, but I do wonder if she might run as an independent for re-election. That would be awesome. We need to smash the duopoly. More independent candidates of all stripes might remove toxicity. #USA #politics #MTG

Anyone else having Cersei Lannister/Sept of Baelor fantasies today during the memorial service?
Maybe I should have been triggered by any number of things first, but this Kimmel cancel has done it for me. They really are coming for all of us. #Kimmel #USA #politics #Disney #MAGA
I would like to call an emergency mtg. of the American people, serious proposal. Maybe a virtual mtg. on our failing Constitution. Let’s not wait for a regular call from the states and start a national conversation of legal experts and us. #politics #USA #Constitution
The left promotes and commits acts of violence? GOP candidates shoot guns in commercials and put out Christmas cards, CHRISTMAS cards, like this. #politics #USA #CharlieKirk
Saw her last year as part of an in-person panel discussion. She was incisive, articulate and intelligent. Although not a stellar candidate, she would have been a good president. Truly tragic.
Does anybody else feel like Chicago will explode when Trump moves on the city? I keep thinking of this line: ‘They put one of ours in the hospital. We put one of theirs in the morgue! That’s the Chicago way!!’ I think it’ll be worse than LA. #USA #politics #Chicago
Funny and frighteningly true. #USA #politics
Cannot believe NBC placed the Epstein Survivors news conference in the 4th segment. So cowed by Trump. BBC 10 minutes at the top. #Epstein #NBC #BBC Moving & credible statements from the women. Release the files!
My niece is relocating her family to the Netherlands; hs friend has immigrated to Italy. Celebrities moving overseas, all because of Trump. And this… #politics #USA

Capitalist Corruption #17: Fixation on clicks and eyeballs, driven by advertising dollars, has led to bad news writing. Burying the news in the headline down deep in the story copy. That used to be called the lede. #journalism #capitalism
Congratulations to Benjamin Netanyahu and his right wing cabinet on recreating the conditions of the Warsaw Ghetto. You have become the monster your people fought and suffered under. #Gaza #Israel

Subs are. Arby’s not so much.
I think they were bored. ‘Where are y’all going? … Really? Can I come? Will there be sandwiches?’
Damn, I was looking forward to the protests and sandwich throwing. If they stay wrapped after toss, my plan was to attend and bring an empty backpack. Lunch for several days!!
Let’s be frank. Throwing a Subway sandwich at someone should be a misdemeanor. But throwing a Firehouse sub? Well, that’s a delight. #sandwichattack
Prediction: In Trump’s land swap, he’ll trade Alaska for Donetsk, Donbas and Crimea. Sanctions lifted, tunnel under the Bering Strait and free trade pact. Americans will be able to drive to Asia! Summer homes in Siberia! (I hope I am joking). #Alaska #Putin
