I'm the one on the left! I'm retired, but used to be a musician, Steely Dan fan, detective novelist, actor, advertising copywriter, and SDS member. Am still a strong progressive, and willing to march in the front row along with other disabled adults!

I keep hearing people say that if this is going to become a country where people are deported or confined to camps, they're going to move, stock up on canned goods, or try to keep a low profile. Here's an alternative that has worked in the past: Non-violence. Warning: You could be beaten. Like MLK.

I've had it up to here with all the pontification about "violence" seeping into our politics. It's always been there. Can we agree that ambushing people is wrong, and move on to discussing some of Charlie Kirk's more distressing beliefs?
And let's not be distracted from Issue #1: The Epstein files.

The Senate, including 11 Democrats, just voted to confirm Donald Trump's investment banker, a COVID conspiracy theorist, as ambassador to Japan.
Trump is having people kidnapped and deported, killing people by decimating scientific data, and ruining the economy, but let’s give him his ambassador!

The reason Trump's nominations are in trouble is because he has no respect for people with expertise. Why? Because experts always disagree with his idiotic pronouncements. He thinks people with knowledge of reality are just suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Hope you got to see this.
THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting. Pass it on.

Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going?
When her appointment as director of national intelligence is vetted, the Senate should scrutinize her political operation.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
