Mario Guevara, journalist in ATL arrested & detained since June 14 for his news coverage, is still in detention. A judge ordered his release in July, but he remains in rural southern GA. We're fighting for his release. Next Monday will be 100 days in detention. pressingissues.org/five-questio...

I’ve been bounced from X. Again. They didn’t like my response to VP Vance. I live in the state of Oregon but spend a lot of time in a state of furious anger. I’m as mad as hell…

I am proud to report I've been suspended from X... again. Evidently, I wasn't supposed to wish the VP a massive stroke.

I'm reading Hotel Ukraine, the latest and, sadly, last Arkady Renko Book by Martin Cruz Smith. The protagonist, like the writer, has Parkinson's. Smith has had it for about 30 years. I've enjoyed every book in the series, beginning with "Gorky Park."

I'M INVISIBLE HERE. If, by chance, you see this:
I live in Silverton, Oregon. Cute place. We have a nice hospital. With the passing of the BBB, the hospital is now at risk, based on its financials. Healthcare is big business. It's just an example how the BBB will affect everyone.

I was sittin' in a crummy movie
With my hands on my chin
All the violence that occurs
Seems like we never win
Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight
So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
