Retired Chicago Sun-Times editor/columnist, not happy with turn USA has taken in 2024. Still big fan of truth, facts and soul line dancing.
Just like the #GOP's #SarahPallin, before her, #MarjorieTaylorGreene is quitting on her constituents. You know who doesn't quit? Mexicanos & other Latins. For good reason they were scared of ICE & yet they kept showing up for work. My people are not quitters.

Usually in the 4 p.m. hour in #Chicago I'd be watching my local ABC news, but because #YouTubeTV & #Disney are being greedy conglomerates I cannot. This stinks!

I'm back, Bluesky! Anyway, today I joined a protest at our local #Target that corporate is letting ICE/CBP use for staging. I don't blame the underpaid workers, whose jobs are on the line, but I do blame CEO #BrianCornell. I used to shop Target weekly; NO MORE!

Please stop saying, "This is not what I voted for." You didn't want to vote for a POC, a woman. And all that's happening now you thought would happen to someone else. Own it.

As I say over & over about measles, which I had as a child and was so very ill: babies & toddlers in my neighborhood died from it. Other children no longer could hear. Still others terribly scarred. Why do this to kids when a vaccine can prevent this horrid disease?
What RFK Junior meant to say is:

Vaccinate your children against measles.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

I was always in my local #Target, sometimes a couple times a week. Haven't stepped foot in there since they decided diversity wasn't important.
so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Glad to be connected with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on social media again. A sensible leader.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad?

We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

If Biden hired so many unqualified FAA employees, as Trump says — then why were there ZERO commercial air accidents in the US during Biden’s administration?

In light of tonight’s midair collision between a passenger jet & Black Hawk helicopter,, it’s important to remember that just last week, Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee

Sloppy. We’ve been told they better prepared & well organized for 2.0 but I’m seeing a lot of cracks in the facade and that’s an opportunity for people who love democracy to protect it.

Wow, all this chaos in the federal government and #egg prices are still through the roof. We're all shocked DJT & his minions haven't fixed that, aren't we.

Listen to AOC. She's got it right.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

A memo leaked to the Associated Press reveals that the White House has told the U.S. CDC to stop working with the WHO immediately.

This breaks protocol which requires the approval of Congress and a one-year notice to leave the WHO.
