Just an old guy with an opinion
we must be honest to ourselves and to each other
we must speak to each other without filter
we are not blind; we are not children; we must not regret

Judge indicted on obstructing immigration case, New York Times reports
Unbelievable - we’re actually going after judges -
“Who’s going to watch The Watchers ?”

I had an epiphany. Our rights of society are being taken for granted. Our Freedoms are being attacked more and more every day and some of us (me) don’t see it.
All of our institutions should stand strong and free as Harvard did.
Thank you “The Last Word”

I’m finding myself migrating to BlueSky for my everyday fix; my source of current information, which is good, but I really need human contact - like most of us. A friend has excessive anxiety b/c of the administration’s quest to destroy so he goes to therapy twice a week.
I asked for a referral.

@maddow.msnbc.com regarding the Dead Immigrants in Social Security system; can you verify this does not apply to White Europeans a.k.a. Trump’s family?
This will shine another light on the “White Supremacy” that is control of our government and hopefully give more of us a reason to be vocal.

It might be time we reassessed our addiction to #cheapchinesegoods if we expect to move manufacturing back to the United States.
Me ?
Not so much; we have a service economy and I see no desire to replace that. Besides, we no longer have a large migrant workforce to fill the expected positions.

I woke up this morning in a good mood, acceptance really, only to be jerked again - amplifying my market loss.

@andrewrsorkin.bsky.social can you hold firm on getting an answer on who is actually paying the tariffs ? When interviewing your guests and they avoid the question, hold them to it. If only to help us all understand.

@schumer.senate.gov, pointing out the hypocrisy of the republican party is not a strategy, instead “(our guy) would greet the fallen soldiers instead of playing golf”, or something similar. The idea is to craft a message that points out their failure without disparaging them. Then they will listen.

Do you really think it’s all about tax cuts for the rich? He’s trying to privatize the government and what paves the road better than getting rid of federal assets, tanking the economy and deploying troops to civil centers?
