Do you ever stop to think "he's the richest man in the world. He could be doing so much, and yet, he spends much of his day...tweeting?" There's a prioritization there that just goes so deep in such a sad way.

@the1a.org my national park space is Misty Mount, near Thurmont MD. Every time we go there there was a specific park ranger who would come out and greet visitors. He'd also play music and teach kids woodworking while there. Every park has this kind of guy, who's spirit is wrapped up in the memory.

@margaretbarthel.bsky.social re: your piece on layoffs on WAMU today-one thing to keep in mind is that direct layoffs of federal employees is only part of it. Cancelled activities lead to contractor layoffs as well.

#stpatricksday is more USA than Irish. Let's make it about all of us.
Thousands are sailing
To a land of opportunity
That some of them will never see
Fortune prevailing
Bellies full
Spirits free
They'll break the chains of poverty
And they'll dance
