Author of You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are, an adoptee's memoir on US adoption, adoptee rights, & the public health impacts of adoption. Focus: Adoptee rights, adoption reform, all issues re rights to one's identity/bio-kin connections. All views my own.
The so-called journalist asking this question used to work for Tucker Carlson's show for 2 years and loves doing palsy pictures with defenders of this administration that is knowingly violating the constitution daily. But sure, chatter on about these distractions, Ken.

This grotesque violation is happening daily. Do you even remember when the White House East Wing was demolished illegally during the shutdown?

Topelia was a military boarding school, where orphaned Finnish boys were trained for service in the Russian army in Russian-controlled Finland (orphans are always useful fodder for the needs of any empire). It is now part of the University of Helsinki. www.kotimaassa.fi/kohteet/tope...

When the inevitable mass closures of federally subsidized nursing homes (I have a family member in one) begins because of cuts--900+ billion Medicaid/$500 billion Medicare--we will see harm and deaths. Guaranteed. Don't say you did not know of this outcome.

I'm finishing up creating some photo galleries of my latest trip to my favorite country, #Suomi (Finland). My time there reminds me why I love it. They are comfortable with their bodies, and all their beautiful forms and imperfections. Saunas are ubiquitous and help create the awareness and comfort.

Well that blows. Bluehost is down, and two of my websites are broken now. No message on the Bluehost corporate website when services will be restored to its customers.

The story of Hans Asperger is actually a much bigger story how even those with advanced education, prestige, societal status willingly abandon their morality to pursue clearly violent, pathological, and deadly policies without any moral qualms. It happened before, and we know it can easily again.

Funny I thought "Uncle Sam" was a government brand that promoted the country's fight AGAINST fascism. This probably is appearing in a LinkedIn feed near you. So yes, LinkedIn is making money from this expansion of forces focussing on detaining people in ways shocking many Americans and communities.

One of my 2 US Senators, Jeff Merkley, published this statement on his vote on the gov't reopening. In that vote, a faction of Senate Ds turned their back on Americans to restore tax credits for health insurance for millions. And no words re replacing Sen. Schumer as leader, as countless demand now.

One of my favorite places, Tampere, Finland. Love that city! So glad I have relatives there.

"Violations and irregularities continue in today's adoption system, and for adult adoptees the right to know their true background and identity is still not maintained." From an open letter by the Adoptionspolitisk Forum, based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

A noisy Sellwood Bridge Friday Night protest. During the week, we saw a lot of activity with people being disappeared because they are immigrants and Latino, including coordinated arrests by masked agents of 24 people in the state capital, Salem, on November 11. Horn energy got louder near the end.

Have we already forgotten that more than 7 million people showed where power resides and what power means? We all know who the monster is and what this monster has done. I'm thinking now of nursing home closures that could kill a family member. YOU alone will save our country, NOT Epstein files.

US Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) sided with the majority party on the reopening reconciliation bill. She is the "Fetterman fatale" of the minority Caucus in the House. Recall she voted YES on "SAVE Act" to restrict voting rights that passed the House in the spring. abcnews.go.com/Politics/6-h...

Not mentioned here in this article: Systemic and documented corruption of intercountry adoption practices, including the trafficking of countless kids for decades from South Korea to the US marketplace for intercountry #Adoptees. Omission of facts distorts reality.

One in four nursing homes will close because of the toxic bill signed on July 4, and about $900 billion+ will be stolen from Medicaid for the wealthiest Americans. We don't even know yet how many Americans will die from this, and they'll die when nursing homes shut. I think Americans already get it.

"When asked if the administration officials’ remarks will be open to the public, HHS referred questions to the organizers of the event. The MAHA groups in the agenda did not respond to requests for comment." Nothing to see here, right?

I'm involved in a weekly bridge activity with many others to share we believe in our country, our rule of law, and the safety and wellbeing of our neighbors, not to mention our belief in science/facts. Here's another one that happens regularly above I-84, near the inner eastside of #Portland. Nice.

It's the third day since the disastrous Vichy capitulation by the minority caucus in the US Senate. My senior senator is still not making any public statement on calls from his constituents he publicly take a stand to remove Sen. Schumer as leader. Show some courage.

Votes are in as a result of Senate Democrats allowing a Vichy strategy to cave days after a historic national set of victories on all races, in all parts of the country, on every major issue and candidate. Never forget who is Vichy. Demand immediate new D leadership. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

"Peace in our time."
"If through our close discipline and our public spirit we can conduct the negotiations in progress, France will surmount her defeat and preserve in the world her rank as a European and colonial power."
Fill in the blank for King and Schumer.

Saw this being shared. Yup.
November 10, 2025 at 3:10 PM
This is what my other Senator, Wyden, has had his staff post on his FB page tonight about the expected vote with a small group of D senators siding with an administration and GOP senators who voted to destroy Medicaid, defund Medicare, close nursing homes, and harm kids. Name those Senators please.
November 10, 2025 at 3:34 AM
Here's what our Senators in OR stated. They're refusing to call out their colleagues by name. If they can't call them out, why should Oregon voters trust them when the biggest votes happen? These are weak comments by Sens. Oregonians elected. They need to hear from us now and need to explain this.
