If there’s nothing to hide, why hide everything?
Five Democratic state legislators were denied entry to Florida’s new immigration “detention center” deep in the Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Why can’t we the people who have constitutional rights sue the president for declaring us the enemy merely for not being loyal to him?
Shouldn’t we have legal standing?

Just finished listening to Rick’s ‘Travel as a Political Act.’ The chapter on his travels to Iran were moving and once again so relevant.
In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
Iran
Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

Just checked out LinkedIn - something that I stopped doing routinely about a year ago
What I noticed was a focus on individual goals and achieving personal rewards.
When did we lose the power of ‘we’ that pure community of all human beings?

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully.
That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy.
If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

Trump turns White House lawn into car lot for megadonor Musk
It’s easy to get inured to the corruption, but hawking Teslas on the South Lawn was among the most obscene events in White House history.

After Trump embraced crypto, Coinbase gave millions to PACs backing pro-Trump candidates.
After Trump's win, they gave $1M to his inaugural and listed his meme coin.
Now, Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Coinbase.
See how this works?

Can you live on your social security alone? Can you retire without it?
Could you retire if you also have to pay 100% of health insurance. No Medicare. No Medicaid.

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA.
As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets.
This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

Watched the films of the march in DC. I remember the woman’s march from 2017
I also remember the last outdoor inauguration. More protestors than supporters along the route. Low crowds
We each can still choose who we will be.
