Tom Hanks gets it. @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social
Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway:

"I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons."

Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

I find far too many progressive commentators stating that everything will start to get right with the mid terms in a years time.

I want to push back against that!

The 2024 election seems to have been free and fair (despite what some say). BUT…

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

I'm half way through Jill Lepore's "We The People". To me it seems that under Trump this might be the most dangerous time in the last 250 yrs. Then there was The Rule of Law. Now there is The Transient Whim of Trump. Heaven help the USA. No congress/SCOTUS/Military to objec

Federal judges have proven that National Guards are carrying out illegal orders. Why is no one pushing back at the military's defiance of their oath to the Constitution???

In 2020, Biden won 509 counties and Trump won 2,500. But here’s the kicker: Biden’s counties generated 71% of America’s GDP. Trump won the dirt, Biden won the dollars.
