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.
@sanders.senate.gov Please get together with AOC and raise hell about the 28-point “plan” for Ukraine. Munich and worse.

@mikabry.bsky.social If you heard Nance and Parnas yesterday, you would have heard the other side of Putin/Trump’s 28-point plan for Ukraine. We are a disgrace forever if we go ahead with wiping our hands of Ukraine and Europe which is what is proposed. (91, Chicago with ICE)

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Woke to the 28 point plan for Ukraine. It’s a complete sellout to Putin. Hoping you’ll say so. Trump and Co are too stupid to know what they’re doing and too mean to care. Hoping Mika will yell. She knows history. (91, Chicago)

@maxinejoselow.bsky.social I lived 22 yrs in NOLA (1969-1990). Oil spills made shrimp and oysters inedible. Given climate change, further loss of food supply by drilling for oil is the height of stupidity. Is there any stopping the ruling Mafia?

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Please listen to Malcolm Nance and Lev Parnas podcast on Substack today. It’s a lot on Putin/Trump that may not surprise you, but needs airing. (91, Chicago, ICE sirens even without Bovino.)

@whitehouse.senate.gov Dear Sir, I can think of no one better to ask that you or a member of your staff hear the Nance-Parnas podcast on Substack today. It will give you information about our government that I doubt you will get otherwise. (91, Chicago, ICE sirens a bit quiet at the moment.)

What is needed is a change in economic conditions! No more pyramid system but instead a Doughnut Economy. Where the whole of the community is more important. Where sustainability of life with great emphasis is on green policies! Kate Raworth is the creator of this concept!

It’s incredible how often we’re told these conditions are the product of fate rather than the result of deliberate decisions. Once you realize inequality is engineered, it becomes impossible to accept it as inevitable. Policy built this world, and policy can build a better one.

None of it is natural and much of it caused by government policies.
Examples: Government policies are directly associated with banks, health insurers and health providers becoming too-big-fail and concentrating wealth and power.
Local policies limit housing growth.

I served honorably during the Cold War, but now I NEED medicine every day to live. Without ACA subsidies my premiums will be more than our gross income. Trump's alleged credits wouldn't pay for 6 weeks of coverage.
It's like someone hired Congress to be a Hit Man, to kill me & people like me.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Senate Republicans were so eager to dispense with the Epstein measure that they agreed with Schumer to declare it passed by unanimous consent--even though it has not formally been sent over by the House yet. It may land on Trump's desk tonight.

The Senate has passed the House Epstein bill by unanimous consent, so it goes to Trump’s desk to sign and he has said he will sign it.
This means:
1) He will lean on Bondi to deny release based on "ongoing investigation "
OR
2) PER Mark Epstein, the files are scrubbed of Trump & Republicans

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.
