"Some people who have a very racist view of the world will not understand even the basic logic that if you care about human well-being you should care about all humans' well-being." Greta Thunberg, to me, on why she speaks out on Gaza, & not just the climate crisis.

How Biden’s Foreign Policy Destroyed His Presidency
Biden's domestic agenda was the most progressive of any president since Lyndon Johnson. But it was entwined with a foreign policy that leaves his legacy drowned in blood.

Most touching state funeral I have watched. They even sang John Lennon's Imagine, apparently his favorite song. All the speeches were outstanding! #Carter is being laid to rest in a befitting manner for the best ex President ever!

Beautiful eulogy during #Carter's funeral today. It was delivered by the son of former President Gerald Ford, the Republican he unseated and who became his closest friend. He said that through his Habitat for Humanity work, Carter wanted to remind people that Jesus was a carpenter and not a king.

In elementary school, my teacher told my mother I was “unteachable.” I was behind in every subject, including reading. Then I found this one book in the school library and connected with it, reading it hundreds of times. I made a career in reading, writing, and editing.That’s what a book can do.

This is an interesting conversation with somebody I have had huge disagreements in the past. With everything that is going on and the huge divisions on every level, one often wonders if it is growing pains or the beginning of disintegration of what we once held dear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSDh...

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries gets it. Americans want lower costs on groceries, gas, child care and housing. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republican politicians have plans for mass deportations and more tax breaks for the super rich, but neither of those are going to help us.

I want to clarify something for legal purposes. I don’t in fact know if Stephen Miller is a vampire or not. He looks, acts, and talks like one but I don’t in fact know if he drinks blood or will die in direct sunlight. It’s just my opinion that he’s a blood sucking monster.
