Just an old, cranky, curious woman who wanders and ponders and occasionally does it with a fly rod or a camera in hand.

RIP Barney Frank. Courageous and wicked smart to the end. Your absence is felt and your once larger than life presence even more. Thank you for your service good sir.

Agreed! What we are doing in Cuba is a crime against humanity. The lack of coverage is unforgivable.

It really is Republican voters who are to blame for all of this. Not education, not income, not race. It is Republican voters who did this to us and the world. Every single one of them has more than a little blood on their hands.

The one thing we knew before we even opened the article is that the shooter was male. What if the opposite was true? That the shooter was always female? What conversations would we be having? What would we do to address the fact that the vast majority of violent crime was committed by one gender.

We aren't talking about the humanitarian crisis we are causing in Cuba either. Americans and our media are still mostly myopically enamored with American exceptionalism even as our leaders smash countries and loot the world.

Black and brown people are out there protesting and saying the same thing. Our BIPOC neighbors have lived with state sanctioned brutality, murder and imprisonment in a way white folks can't imagine, but even they see this as different. As a breaking of the world - as straight up facism.

Prayer for ICE goons - May you never know one second of peace. May you be abandoned by all who love you and all you love. May your days be spent in soul crushing self-loathing and your nights in a delirium of terror. May you be driven mad by your own cruelty. And, may you live a very very long life.

Gift article. Please read. This is light of day, naked corruption. Everything that man does is to enrich himself. Even now the tariff threats around Greenland are nothing more than pure market manipulation. He isn't going to war. He is enriching himself. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I curse those goose-stepping nazis. May they never know a moment of peace. May they never know a night of rest or a waking moment of joy. May they only know terror and self-loathing. May they live in an internal torture that makes them wish for the end every day of their miserable existence.

How about you start by getting your own party on board. I am already hearing some Democrats waiver on whether this was illegal or not. These same Democrats have been taking money from the oil lobby for a very long time. So - yeah, maybe start there.

Rebecca A. @hobolint.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
I agree the voters are largely to blame here, but dahmit the Democrats have got to show much stronger leadership and messaging. They are mostly competing with each other in a campaign to rule over the ashes, even as that madman sets fire to our country and the constitution.

Rebecca A. @hobolint.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
The Democrats are showing zero leadership. They have failed to unite with one voice and in fact you can already see those who are dependent on oil interests for their war chests begin to minimize Trump's action.

Rebecca A. @hobolint.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Furthermore, you can already see the Dems who have war chests financed by oil interests moderate their language. They are refusing to call this what it is - a violation of the war powers act. Unless they do that, their GOP counterparts certainly aren't going to.

Rebecca A. @hobolint.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
The Democrats have caved time and again. You can already see it happening now. They don't need the GOP - they need a unified message and strong leadership to appeal to the American people. They have neither.

And now we know the answer to our question. Our military will follow an illegal order in defiance of our Constitution and their vow to protect it.

I think we need to just say this. Elon Musk murdered by proxy when he abruptly ended USAID funding and resources. He is directly responsible for the death and misery of thousands. He is a cold hearted murderer, lacking in the essentials of what it is to be human.

This. After the election, I made a conscious decision that my time, energy, heart and mind would go 100% to my beloved community. The people I love and care about and want to break bread with and who I know are resisting this regime. They are the ones who deserve my energy and attention and caring.

Responding to natural disasters - well now, that is exactly what government is designed to do. I would much rather my tax dollars go to help my neighbor, rather than terrorize them.

Well first of all, we are mandated to carry insurance when there is a mortgage or when we own a car. We should be able to opt out. Also, I think communities, family, friends should be able to form cooperatives to self insure.

The use of the word "Insubordinate" tells us all we need to know about what this man thinks of a free press. I would like to see the press simply stop reporting what he says. He only lies. They need to get other sources.

There will come a time when we realize for-profit insurance is not a reasonable or sustainable solution. It rips up the social contract entirely putting all the risk on the homeowner and community and none of it on employers, banks, insurance companies or providers. It is a rigged game.

I didn't do anything. I just ended my account and left Facebook. Apparently that was against community rules.

Got this email from Facebook today. I torpedoed my account back in February. Interesting that they are going to accuse me of violating community standards. So that's what they call it when you decide they are a loathsome and vile company and you stop buying the shit they are selling?

Most of us will never be in a position where we have the resources to independently save 400,000 children. Elon Musk is and instead of saving children, he chose to kill them. Is there a clearer modern day example of evil?

I was a Board member of a county soil and water district. My spouse received a yearly grant of about $2,500 from the Board for a local cover crop research project. Whenever this program came up for renewal, I exited the room. My god, the level of GOP corruption is mind-bending - and disgusting.
