One of the loves of my life!

One of the loves of my life!
One of the good guys!
It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.
I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.
Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

How much money do you need? Enough to buy the United States of America and make it into exclusive country club, no a tech utopia, no a corporate entity for the wealthiest few, run by a CEO?
The U.S is not for sale!

While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

I totally agree! This is why I, a wife/mom/grandma/union member joined social media for the first time to help spread the word, make calls, donate money, join demonstrations, educate others and rearrange my spending habits - even an old dog can learn new tricks when so much is at stake. Lol!
It is disgusting to see an American president turn against one of our friends and openly side with a thug like Vladimir Putin.
And with Trump preparing to give in to Putin now, America will pay the price later.

Wake up call: Even if you’re not a political scientist, can’t you tell the difference between how Russia treats its citizens as opposed to how Canada treats its citizens?
“At least Russia has elections”
Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999.
If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; credible we must be truthful. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it. We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. Edward R. Murrow

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

I pay my taxes and expect that my government will honor its contract with me, an ordinary citizen, but I feel like our jobs, our property, our savings and our four freedoms are up for “smashing and grabbing” and “below the belt” tactics.
