My passion is photopoetry in which I combine both genres together. Lately, I've been putting my poetry onto my photographs. I welcome comments. Check out my website alinadoliart.com. I love to travel, but also to stay home with my husband and two cats.
A must read. How do we Cassandras learn that language of being believed, not dismissed?
those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

If Mr. Art of the Deal really wanted to end the shutdown and cared about federal workers, programs and services, he would be negotiating instead of building a ballroom.
And if he’s too busy with the ballroom, he could allow Thune to do it since Mike Johnson is a useless fool.

Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

The National Guard are meant to be deployed to respond to real emergencies like natural disasters and public health crises.
Advancing President Trump's political agenda is not one of those emergencies — and the former vice chief of the National Guard Bureau agrees.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.
