HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

OPINION: "People from most declining democracies and republics throughout history must have felt something similar. I’ve read letters from pre-WWII Germans who moved from 'we’re worried' to 'we’re scared,'" Kimberly Griffin writes.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Sprained wrist. Dogs involved. A few hours after I nearly killed myself, I watched a video of a 5 year old make the same fall I did and bounce right back up and giggle. This proves I’m old.

My last morning of tranquility and this view. But maybe it’s a good thing ‘cuz during my vacation I hopped off the no sugar, no alcohol, no fried stuff, low sodium wagon and probably added back a few pounds! #tranquility #waterfrontviews

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Buster Keaton, a genius and underrated, no one can tell me otherwise. Go watch his movies, ones he directed or the shorts he did with Roscoe Arbuckle and find out what I mean. #busterkeaton

My emotions fluctuate from calmness and bravery to fear and being scared. I know I can’t be alone in feeling this way. How are you getting through it?

"I'm John Berman. You might know me from a cable morning show, though not the one that might soon have a Defense Secretary who paid a woman that accused him of sexual assault, nor the one that just sent 2 anchors to Mar-a-Lago, then talked about it like it was the Yalta summit." 🔥
