Now retired TV photo journalist after 41 years. Looking forward to being a bit more open with my opinions. Perhaps a chocolate chip cookie taster or a permanent fixture in my beach chair.

After watching it again, that wasn’t even the person he touched allegedly . it was another officer stepping in, probably just so he could have an opportunity to be aggressive against Matt.

Matt was professional, the cop reminds of interactions I’ve had where the cop was scared and was escalating his actions to cover up. Another posais that cop has a hatred of the press and was looking for a reason to take a press person down.

“first reported by independent journalist Marisa Kabas, who cited a State Department cable that described it as a new ‘removal’ program for third-party nationals. The Post has not independently confirmed the contents of that cable.” Why bother to independently confirm when you did all the work!

You are correct. I should have said thank you for sharing. I have friends who are the first in line for new technology, I’m very skeptical so it makes for very interesting discussions.

“Like many autocrats before him, Donald Trump has launched what could be a devastating attack on universities.” His fig leaf is fighting antisemitism. Color me dubious in the extreme. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

We must learn from the past. We cannot remain silent in the face of authoritarian attacks on our peers, even if they have not yet come for us.

Too late. Americans are already being punished and we are in chaos.

So what happens when Medicaid gets cut and all those rural hospitals end up closing? Where are all those newly educated healthcare workers gonna go? How about fixing democracy before you do that!

Is it just me or did this happen in the same week when Trump was corrected by two other world leaders, Macron from France and Starmer from the UK. Evidently he needed to bring in his buddies because he could not face Zelensky on his own.

I understand the criticism of democratic elected officials… I do. We cannot allow appeasement, playing by rules that don’t exist anymore. BUT, if DEMS are criticized MORE than the GOP who have totally rolled over for Trump then you’re missing the big picture.

My wife had been posting about this well before the election. @nabbp.bsky.social continually posted about this and other items in project 2025 with the corresponding pages. I find it hard to understand why now these things are coming to light. They were there the whole time.

It appears we are experiencing a “rapid unexpected disassembly “ of our country .

Really? Ego and self delusion. Ending a pres. campaign at the behest of his own party for the good of his party and the country doesn’t sound sound like ego. Sadly after he dropped out no mention of the other candidates age or cognitive deficiencies were addressed.

A classic example of hiding the details in the fine print. Looks like a thoughtful health bill for women until u get into the weeds where it says that the man in her life must be involved in the decision making of her healthcare. I suspect any legislation coming out now will be using this template

To everyone saying “this looks like a hoax” or “this can’t be a real thing” please pull your head out of the sand and look at all “the hoaxes”and “not real things” in the past that have come to fruition. The hate is real!

It’s called “low hanging fruit”. Little effort to put this jack wagon and his minions out front to maximize profits. Let’s not forget it’s a way to stay under the radar of his vengeful retribution.

If only there was civility. The problem is within the first sentence of a post the “cute” name calling and labeling is a tipoff that the person is not serious. I left Twitter for that reason. There was no thoughtful dialogue only angry people hiding behind keyboards.
