Retired non-profit houser after 30 years, now focusing on some consulting, grass-fed beef, 5th gen family farm in southwest Va, with a little more time for writing, hiking, reading, traveling to see kids in Cville and College Station!
a great visual indeed!
"Can you imagine George [Conway] as a congressman interrogating; questioning Pam Bondi at a hearing in early 2027," Bill Kristol says. "It would be it would, it would be, it would be fun, you gotta say that's a great visual." lnk.thebulwark.com/4oX2lLf?utm_...

The criminal cases against both James Comey and Letitia James are dismissed. A total humiliation for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi. — And it’s only Monday.

When the lights went out, we used our truck's battery to power our home. It's a potential solution as the power grid buckles.

There it is...Trump calls for the arrest of the mayor of Chicago and Governor Pritzker.
So, for all the incrementalists in denial...are we there yet? 🤔
- Did we cross the line into authoritarianism yet?
- Is it fascism yet?
- Is he "joking"?
He & Stephen Miller want civil war.

Wrote this thread about Greta Thunberg, not so long ago. How she went from liberal meaningless climate activism, to actually understanding that climate change isn't the problem, it's a symptom of the problem. The problem is capitalism, white supremacy, and imperialism.

Such an important story on the power and need for the Fourth Estate! #fourthestate
The conditions in homes for mentally ill adults in New York were often abhorrent when The New York Times investigated the facilities nearly 25 years ago. Now, a class-action lawsuit, spurred by the investigation, came to a close. Cliff Levy reflected on his reporting.
My Reporting Led to a Landmark Lawsuit. The Case Took 22 Years.
A class-action lawsuit, spurred by an investigative series in The Times, came to a close, having helped thousands of mentally ill residents of adult homes.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I can understand the anguish from losing someone you looked up to politically.
What sits wrong with me now is that we see none of that from some of the same people whenever children are murdered in school. Maybe we all agree it should all end
