I majored in history and have studied it all my life. The best parts of my checkered career were in writing and communication. As a lifelong Democrat, I look forward to communicating on Bluesky.

I want to attend a No Kings protest on October 18, but I can’t find my Antifa membership card. Also, when is George Soros going to send me my checks for the protests that I have attended so far?

Trump and the Republicans want you to die. After today’s long overdue Senate questioning of RFK, Jr., who can doubt this?

I just heard on CSPAN2 BookTV, in a discussion of private equity firms, that Chuck Schumer is the largest, single recipient in Congress of private equity firms’ donations.

Where is all of the Republicans’ condemnation of anti-Semitism since the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family during Passover? Maybe I just missed it.

Based on Jeffrey Goldberg’s Atlantic article, I question whether those involved in this security breach actually earned their positions based on merit.

I was just listening to The Rolling Stones doing Sympathy for the Devil from their 1969 tour. It seemed quite timely.

Mor Furniture ads ask us today to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., by shopping for furniture. I remember his speech at the March on Washington, when he said, “I have a dream that someday my children will own really comfortable recliners.”
