Doesn’t it seem rather strange that nearly seven years following the supposed suicide of Jeffrey Epstein a suicide note suddenly appears? It was hidden from the public? The story doesn’t make sense on any level. As investigations continue as to whether he really did commit suicide.

Can you believe this shit? CT GOP senators want CT Ed Assoc Pres Kate Dias to resign following a statement referring to ICE agents “operating in and around schools, disrupting learning, shattering a sense of safety, and filling families and staff with anxiety.” What about Trump or Noem, assholes?

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

This seems to be the most popular version of what's going to happen regarding the release of the files after the House votes. MAGA Republicans will do whatever it takes to protect their twisted orange overlord. Americans deserve to know who’s in the TRUMP-EPSTEIN files, but will we find out?

We always get these huge Trump announcements with much media hype and fanfare with lots of big promises and assurances, effusively praising himself looking for awards & prizes, while experts say the details are scarce or nonexistent. Then a short time later we get the reality.

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

If our Military isn’t being paid during a shut down, Congress shouldn’t be paid. They have no motivation to negotiate. I think for every day of a shut down Congress should be fined for dereliction of duty.

I took this photo at the Colosseum right after realizing I hadn't posted on Bsky in 4 months. Not because I disappeared, and definitely not because I ran out of things to say... (Tap the image & read the alt text to find out...)
I've actually been here the whole time... just in a different way. 

Behind the scenes, I've been helping others build their voice on this platform. 

Refining how they show up, how they connect, how they stand out in all the noise and how they generate attention and grow. 

It's been meaningful, creative, and honestly kind of addictive. 

But somewhere along the way, I stopped showing up for myself. 

Standing in front of the Colosseum brought something up for me. 

This thing has lasted thousands of years, not because it shouted the loudest, but because it stood with presence and intention. 

That hit me. 

I don't need to post often or loudly, but when I do, it'll be deeply me. 

So here I am. 

Back, and glad to be.
