91, Democrat, marched against Vietnam War; teacher, musician, linguist; Fulbright scholar, Paris. Lived on a small boat in France for 10 years, including Iraq debacle. Politics always, family history. As a child was involved in the “war effort” of WWII.
@arimelber.bsky.social You must get John Flannery back about the files. He’s always great. This time we need him. This is about our survival as a country.
Thank you. (91, Chicago, hearing Blackhawks with the sirens.)

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Why are you rehabbing Chris Cristy? If ever there was a crooked politician, it’s he. I remember the traffic jam as if it were yesterday. And the crooked bunch around him. “-Gate. How did this happen? How can I trust you if you’re bringing back that slob?

@stephruhle.bsky.social You’ve got a great group tonight. Pelosi reminds of her mother, Flugelsang has a real face, Greer is always great, and the guy I can’t identify is ok too. Brava, Steph!

Ouch. No surprise here. Racism is winning big at the moment. And the greed of the gulag owners. Saw Maddow last night about places rejecting gulags.

@gtconway.bsky.social Got your message. Just saw Vance getting booed at the Olympics. At 91, a GOTV postcard writer. Marching days are over. The Obama thing is disaster. Sorry I can’t send you money. But can write postcards for you if TonyTheDemocrat or Swing Left has your voter addresses;.

@jonlemire.bsky.social Please check the Guardian for the article on Tusk checking the Russia-Epstein relationship. When I heard Musk-Epstein, I immediately thought Russia, remembering DT’s relationship and that Dzerzhinsky, grandfather of the KGB was a Pole. This is great news.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social Thank you for what you do. Hearing you on MSNOW even when your reporting is excruciating. It’s the worse of the worst in power, not asylum seekers or migrants looking for work. There is no empathy in the mafia!

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are
his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
