A government of love and charity creates the freedom and opportunity that eliminates strife, fear, pain, anger and violence. Our government should always have been of us, by us and for us!

Just made myself the best margarita I’ve ever had x2 😇
2 oz Tequila 1 oz Orange Liqueur/Grand Marnier
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice. Lime rubbed flaked sea salt around the rim. Feels good to relax against all the evil swirling just outside our front door.

Outer Space lives and breathes without mankind's corrupted influence. I will hold the pain in hopes that you will never have to! Love sustaining generosity makes our progress possible. Give what you can, all you can stand…#photog

Madeleine Peyroux, Macy Gray, Esperanza Spalding, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Norah Jones, Jazzmeia Horn, and Melody Gardot- my favorite jazz singers over the last 25 years or so. Absolutely worth listening to for various reasons

Side by side. One is hypoallergenic, one is shedding 10lbs of hair a day during the coldest winter of her life. Make it make sense 😂

“You can’t beat death, but you can beat death in life”
Can’t quite remember whose quote that is, maybe Bukowski. A bit like MLK telling us that hate can’t beat hate, only love can conquer hate. don’t remember which came first…

No Somali Fraud. He had a camera, gun taken, face down, shot 10 times in the back. The young lady turns her car away, pulls away slow, gets shot 3 times in the head. Both victims, like many Black folk slain in the past, more powerful than their murderer.

“The Slap Seen and Heard Around the World”. Civil Rights 1967
January 28, 2026 at 5:17 AM
The 2nd most powerful Civil Rights cinematic statement of 1967. I’ll tweet the number one Cinematic Civil Rights statement of 1967 as soon as I get to it. Of course, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner does it more delicately but perhaps just as powerful…

Forecast temperatures overnight tomorrow night into next Friday morning? Zero degrees and negative 3 or 4 degrees. I’m no meteorologist, but that ain’t a whole lot of degrees

Maybe it’s just me, but in our nation of immigrants, no one looks like an immigrant, everyone looks like they belong

Me at 56, my old pappy at 26. He had his struggles from Dominican in ‘65 and Vietnam in ‘66 and alcohol after. From Appalachia, never taught me anything remotely like racism, taught me to take care of those in need not matter who they are. I’ve been lucky all my life…
