Psst. We already knew. We saw your arrest and we follow you on here...😃

This is the correct answer to this...IMO. You can call out both acts as heinous, because both were/are. I don't know why so many feel they can't do this.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.
“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

That's always been my dream.

I followed Dave on Twitter and, as a former soldier, I found his posts refreshing. None of the macho, flag waving bullshit.

Yep. I can't tell you how many conversations I had with conspiracy nuts who screamed "Tyranny" over Jade Helm...and yet, they're fine with actual tyranny. Crazy.

I don't know how many of you also have an additional "real" social media account with your actual name but it sucks to maintain both. I much prefer this one and it's more the real me than my writer profile. I sometimes forget which one I'm on...and I have to be "professional" on the other one. Lol.

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

If you've never seen her performance of True Colors at Austin City Limits I recommend it. I watched a macho buddy of mine tear up over it. Lol

Also only a college fan but my sons keep me somewhat engaged with the NFL and I agree with this statement. They jumped on the Lions bandwagon after the move to MI and I've actually enjoyed it.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Not a fan of Occupy Democrats...the grifting bastards...but I agree with this 100%.

Media askes... Are We Witnessing a ‘Soft Coup’?

Let me be clear, If you are asking this question, you are living under a rock, you're just waking up, or you are completely irrelevant in the journalistic world.

I would say it's both. Yes, most of their cult will follow them off a cliff but the rigging is literally occurring in multiple states, via extreme redistricting, just to make sure they leave no stone unturned. It's a fucked up mess either way.
skvtexas.bsky.social
Yes. Intentionally. I refer to these movies as "interesting, but not too interesting".

Greta Thunberg being eligible for the Nobel Prize is not only a slap in the face to the Orange Baby, but it would be poetic justice for a woman of peace and caring to win out over a man of hate and conflict. She demonstrates the deep instinct of humanity when money is not involved.

I can't click the heart on that. I just can't. But I feel you and probably agree with you. Not going there though. Won't do it...😃

Yep. The Spartans may have faltered but I can still root for the Gophers.

Not many but I did give the universe a fist bump here in my hotel so there's that...😃

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy.

Choose.

I see a lot of people asking why the GOP would do what they're doing knowing that 2026 is just around the corner. I'm pretty sure it's because they're confident those elections will be rigged in their favor. They aren't out to win hearts and minds.

The bastards. I'll say it again. When this is all over we'll probably dig through the rubble and find some bottom-tier state commuter school was the one that held it all together. And its merch is going to be everywhere. Lol. Go Johnsonville Tech Tater Farmers!!!
