I’m a former Air Force Brat and retired educator. I reconnected with some great people here. I love Blue Sky. My emoji is silly. I’m just an old resister trying to help save Democracy and rebuild after Trump. I’ll listen, but may not always agree. 🚫DMs.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Bondi hasn't yet awakened to the fact that she will not be the US AG forever. There will be a day when she has to face her abhorrent behavior and misdeads.

Minnesota taught me one important thing. Trump only has as much power as we are willing to be silent about. Get loud and resist everything he tries. Trump blinked in Minnesota.

Maybe we should regulate AI companies instead of giving them a rein to destroy jobs and our economy? Just a thought.

@cbseaman.bsky.social There was no reason not to air the James Talarico interview on Colbert except censorship of a man who spoke well and could defeat a Republican in Texas. Why would CBS want to slant an election toward Republicans? Where did fair news go?
