I fly from NYC to West Palm Beach (PBI) every month to see my parents near Delray Beach. Now tha PBI has been renamed for the grifter in chief (he can make money off this), I will never use that airport again. Please join the boycott.

Think of all the things the next Democrat president can say and do without hearing a single objection from the GOP, now that we know the unmitigated, mind-numbing chaos and carnage they accept without a whisper!!

Today is not a singularity. These news comments were published in 1859: "We are two peoples. We are a people for freedom and a people for slavery." (NY Tribune) "On the subject of slavery, the North and South... are not only two Peoples, but they are rival, hostile Peoples." (Charleston Mercury)

Imagine the unmitigated selfishness and arrogance it would take for someone to accept an unearned Nobel (or any) prize. I bet that whoever you are reading this, MAGA or not, there is NO ONE in your life who is so immature, conceited, and greedy as to accept such a gift. It's truly mind-boggling.

Jan 11 2026, the small town of Hudson NY. Like thousands of communities all over the nation, protesting the Grifter in Chief, his fascist policies, his blind and/or evil supporters, ICE, and the destruction of our beautiful country and world.

This is the inside of the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale U. in New Haven, Ct. A beautiful and massive monument to the written word, with material from every nation (even many that no longer exist) going back a thousand years. #library #antiquarian #oldbooks #papyrus #incunabala

Hey software-developers - can you create an app that would remove or blur the president's face when it shows up in our news feeds?! Because so many of us can't stand seeing him every time we open a screen - I'm sure you would rake in million$ in fees!!

Someday when he is gone and the tyranny is past, even as we are still correcting his many horrible mistakes years from now, journalists will turn over all the rocks and write volumes about the monumental corruption of Trump, Trumpism, and their enablers. Be on the right side of history.

Anyone know how Fox is reporting on the insanity and chaos, just as a summary, so we can know how the cult is thinking?

Aside from pardoning Jan6 traitors, let's not forget that tRump also released the notorious dark-web drug dealer Ross Ulbricht who was serving TWO life sentences. This is after tRump called for the death sentence for drug dealers - but he had promised this pardon to get the Libertarian votes.
