Avid hiker in Colorado..alpine trails are the greatest. It’s my zen zone.
Activist since’70
Nam combat vet…returned enlightened Smedley Butler had it right
Ret RN. . Married 53 yr

Not a lib .. would say a Thoreau anarchist
Sometimes nature just stops me in my tracks and reminds me there’s a lot to be thankful about. My Zen place is in Telluride…park the car for an entire week and hike to different pristine areas near the town every day

Gil Scott-Heron said the revolution will not be televised. But he was wrong. It was televised and it had the stink of orange mascara, maggots in red hats and storm troopers wearing masks and without identification

Americans think they are more important than the Palestinian, the Sudanese, the Mexican, the Venezuelan…anyone not them. What would Christ say?

The American people have taken what they have for granted for so long they let it slip through their fingers to a grifter at the beck and call of billionaires. They don’t want to be educated. They don’t want to see the truth or people who live on the streets. They only want to see themselves

Having been in combat, I have seen what hell must look like..were I a believer. I left the rice paddies and jungle with a dark heart and a cynical mind. I had little faith in mankind and trusted no one. For some time I had a glimmer of hope. On November 8 of this past year I began to lose it

Let's face it. Organized religion has duped people from the beginning of time. Name any war that wasn't in the name of some religion. Can we really say Jews are the "chosen"? Or Catholics. Or indigenous people. Polynesians. Baptists. Muslims. The reality has been religion has bludgeoned us to comply

I’m looking at the smoke filled sky over Denver as over ten fires rage in my beloved Colorado mountains. Every year is a repeat of climate crisis here. We need only open our eyes and our senses to know what the future holds. And we allow the deniers to have power over the future of our kids??

As the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima quickly approaches, we don’t have to look to movies to find the truth of its aftermath. John Hershey wrote a long article, later published as a short book called HIROSHIMA. It’s a graphic and compelling lesson of the reality of a nuclear war

I am saddened to read and hear the stories of the victims of Epstein and by extension his buddy, Trump. I also see them as extraordinarily brave. Unlike the cowards, including Traitor Don. If MSM wants the real story, it’s these brave women who dare to speak out

Once again MSM is missing huge stories because they are obsessed with Epstein. Just this last week the EPA declared greenhouse gases are not harmful to humans and revealed the plan to make those homeless and with mental illness subject to involuntary detention. Both will have much greater impact
July 26, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Seems like the biggest story of the day is being missed in the hysteria of Jeffrey Epstein. The Idiot’s EPA has declared greenhouse gases aren’t harmful to humans opening the door for more fossil fuel production, coal mining and other polluters. This is a death sentence for future generations

It’s always amazing and one of life’s true miracles to put a small, sometimes even tiny, seed in the soil and watch it become a seedling, then a plant that forms buds and vines, then a flowering plant that produces fruit like beans, cucumbers or tomatoes. And finally a harvest from that small seed

Gracias and bravo to Diego Luna for his wonderful and inspiring monologue this evening on Kimmel’s show as guest host. He reminded us of the importance and worth of our immigrant community. Our neighbors and friends. People who came here, just as our ancestors did to live and work with dignity

She had me at "....replace Lindsey Graham"
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Had a patient who kept telling me someone was after her. She was delusional and paranoid but refused our state of the art psych meds. One day the FBI came to the unit and took her away. She should’ve taken the meds

I could never use a treadmill. It always made me feel awful. Made me think I was never getting anywhere in life

Used to hike 14teeners all the time but it occurred to me 13,000 foot mountains were just as nice. I don’t measure anymore.

Used to think I had a twisted mind but my therapist asked me how I felt about it. Really straightened me out

After a few hours on any social media nowadays I have to deactivate my account for a day or so to keep the despair from overwhelming me. There is still life going on outside of MAGA and Agent Orange. There are still mountains to hike and lakes to see. Still sunsets that are as glorious as ever.

Just wondering if Lil Marco is aware he’s become complicit in making the US worse than the Castro regime’s totalitarian government? What must his family think or do they? Lil

@bennet.senate.gov Senator, as a combat vet in Denver, I appeal to you to boycott the SOTU. This tyrant has done more to harm our nation than any president in history. He’s alienated our allies and embraced our enemies. He’s endangered millions of lives around the world. Please boycott

The dems continue to deny any accountability for the direction this nation has taken. Of course the obvious villain is the felon in orange. But the fact remains they failed to win. They refuse to embrace the truth about how they lost. And too many accuse critics of being Fox boosters. That works

The dems and GOP are failures in representative democracy. They refuse to reform campaign finance because they know the old guard will be replaced. Look at the ages and wealth of congress. Look at the years of gridlock. Look at abysmal voter turnout. Leaving democracy in the hands of the corrupt
