We just got back from a trip from Chicago to Boston and then from Bradley/Hartford back to Chicago O'Hare. I am reminded that the English word "Travel" has its roots in the French word "travailler" which means "to work". We are exhausted. #travel #language

A lot of war crimes.
Jim Wright

If your government is loudly demanding the dissolution of the International Criminal Court, the international court that tries war crimes, well, then the odds are pretty high that your government is committing war crimes.
A lot of war crimes.

ICE has issued a nationwide order directing all officers to stop pursuing people in vehicles. The policy change comes after ICE murdered two men in separate incidents less than a week apart in Maine and Texas.

Given the particular political times we are in, not only in the US but globally, hearing this piece from Les Misérables from 17 Jean Valjeans in a multiplicity of languages, and the history those languages represent, is quite poignant. It makes my eyes leak. music.youtube.com/watch?v=gpDb...

So it’s ok for a country to invade another country and kidnap its president? I hope that the rest of the world is paying attention. I have a president . . .

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

No matter how well you play, if you are consistently a bully on the neighborhood basketball court eventually the other kids won't invite you to the game and will play without you. We have become the bully and the rest of the kids are going to start enjoying b-ball without us. #tariffs #politics

President Trump and President Musk need to get on the same page. After creating unnecessary chaos, they once again prove their incompetence.

While the Musk and Bannon #Nazi salutes are despicable and should be condemned we are missing the point of the gesture. They manage to control the narrative for yet another cycle. They throw out red meat and we spend valuable cycles talking about it. How do we control the narrative ourselves?
