Retired writer, editor, letter carrier, iPhonographer (sorry). I may occasionally promote my book or someone else's book. But promotion is really not my thing. Just because I follow you, don't assume I want a conversation with you. NO DMs!!!!!!!!!

For the record, don't expect a follow-back if your feed shows fewer than two original posts--I don't know you. Don't go the DM route--immediately suspicious. If your feed is more than 40% political, I'm not interested. I don't give a fig about crypto.

I am Antifa
On Sept 22, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. I’m glad he has definitively defined the word. The term kept popping up in my reading during the last decade and each time I looked it up I was more confused as to what it meant.…

Similar to whenever there's a plane crash, I see people scared about riding trains. A reminder that the reason why there's so much noise and spectacle about this accident it's because it's exceedingly rare. Traveling by train is safer than doing so by car, by quite a margin.

If ICE had anything to do with enforcing the law, they wouldn't be breaking our laws, attacking the innocent, letting people die, or be taking trophy photos of their victims.

After Republican lawmakers ask to freeze Idaho child care grants, state plans to boost oversight • Idaho Capital Sun
Idaho’s federal funds to expand child care access haven’t even been spent yet, because the state didn’t dole out the money to providers.

You're absolutely right, Rachel.
The outright lies from the White House remind me of the USSR in the 60’s/70’s when I was young. Pure propaganda and I hope enough people can still see that clearly and show up even more to turn us away from our downfall. In our bathrobes if necessary.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Spoils of war. Federal immigration officers have shot 11 people since September. Our government has turned against its citizens. We WILL fight back.

A consequence of the persistent inversions in Idaho this winter has been a lot of minimums approaches in fog. 200’ and 1/4 mile vis for the planes I fly. Even after 46 years of practice it’s something that takes a lot of focus and can never be taken for granted.
