I think you should run for President against Trump. Give Jon a job in the cabinet or maybe VP.
Save America.
Fight oligarchy and fascism.
Please consider it.
Thank you!

I love this new #review on Goodreads!

Reviews are so important to authors because they provide encouragement and a good dose of dopamine!

If you’ve read a book you love - spread the ❤️ by leaving a review and/or rating. 🙏

Proud of the huge protest in Washington DC on No Kings Day. We marched from Logan Circle to the White House. I hope he heard us and we rained on his stupid parade.

What about my awesome acting skills? lol!

Interesting.

The #spacedebris could land anywhere in the world.
Today or tomorrow.
Hopefully it lands in the ocean and does not hit a whale.

Who’s most likely to change (or hyphenate) their name after marriage?

Thanks ⁦‪@andrewvandam‬⁩ for answering my question!

The “SAVE” Act will make it harder for women that changed their last names to vote.The bill is #sexist and #misogynistic

Column | Who’s most likely to change (or hyphenate) their name after marriage?
This week, we dig into data showing that Americans in their 20s are about half as likely to adopt their spouses’ names as were their octogenarian grandparents.

One of the hundreds of reasons I will never forgive Trump voters. Why? Why do they think it’s okay for rich people and corporations to rip off customers and people? What’s wrong with them. Unforgivable.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Global warming gases are making space debris even more of a problem.

Everything is connected.

I will never watch ⁦‪@DanaBashCNN‬⁩ or ⁦‪@CNN‬⁩ again. Dana is terrible. She said that the Trump changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) will upset environmentalists & please builders, but she did not mention the 80% of Americans that support the Act.

What is space debris?
What is being done about it?
What does it look like?
Why should people care?

Check out this video - and read “The Impact Series!”
