luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 14/05/2025We’re losing three prominent Yale scholars to Canada—Timothy Snyder, wife Marci Shore, and Jason Stanley. University of Toronto will be the better for these three. A sad day in the U.S. when anyone who speaks out is in danger of retribution! 3202
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 14/05/2025I’ve screamed and yelled, told others to stand up. Let’s see what happens when I try to enter DC at the airport in July….. 0194
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Taking a break from Washington, DC, on my boat in the Aegean. But I simply can’t escape the urge to follow U.S. news daily. “Always something” as my aunt used to say…. 1120

luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Take heart, and remind yourself of the words said by Revolutionary War sea captain John Paul Jones when the British demanded that he surrender his outmaneuvered frigate, already beginning to sink. “I have not yet begun to fight,” he told them. Ultimately, he won the battle. 050
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Big intimidation by Apprentice Moron 2025 and his buffoons. But they still care what the public thinks—they care a lot. Public pressure matters. We have clout even though it may not feel that way at the moment. 020
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I peruse studies about dental care in relation to general health. It appears there is a correlation between good dental care & overall health. A new longitudinal study shows certain stroke reduction with flossing. Health insurance covering complete dental care is necessary and not yet done. 000
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Every morning at breakfast I watch planes descending to Reagan. I know the risks there firsthand of the short runways, crowded sky, and populous area when years ago my plane almost landed then took off again to retry. Tragic loss of life. 000
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Guantanamo: Trump’s choice for immigrant detention. Sure—away from public scrutiny and legal protections. Tucked away indefinitely…. 000
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 25/01/2025As a child in the Mohawk Valley, manufacturing was humming. Then it wasn’t. Now we are a service economy and will remain so despite Trump selling the manufacturing fantasy. Want workers without college degrees to afford a middle class standard of living? Unionize service sector giants. 010
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 25/01/2025The outpouring of love for this man is astounding. Sometimes we don’t realize the value of a person until they are gone. 000
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I thought Melania’s outfit beautiful. But to me it personified her desire to distance herself from us—the American people. She doesn’t want to be known and in that, she doesn’t care for us. She comes across as vain, shallow, sour, another grifter in a family of grifters. 020
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Last Sunday I walked by Dr. Fauci’s home in my neighborhood. Since Sen.Rand Paul began his disinformation crusade against him, death threats cast a pall over his family. Paul wishes Fauci jailed, but is pleased he stopped the security detail. If only Paul would work to better his own state. 010

luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Over the next four years—say the truth, say it plainly, do not equivocate, repeat the truth over and over. Like here: this idiot is giving the Nazi salute. 000
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Silly, childish, an affront to the U.S., and an example of money allowing such twisted antics. I have to remember that citizens voted Trump in. 000

luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 17/01/2025He tried to stop the Covid vaccinations. Bio N Tech & NIH each had 30,000 people enrolled in the original study. The unvaccinated population ( the control grp) had a 1% mortality. Vaccinated people had no mortality, only 3% got mildly sick. Only an idiot would disapprove of the vaccine. 010
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Some say Trump wants to be more feared than loved. I also believe he likes grim photos because it makes him look determined and fearless. This translates to his followers as a “strong” man in charge, one who will buck the existing status quo. 322
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Placing his son, Astin Jack Lynch, in a cameo role in “Twin Peaks” with his father’s hairdo, was great! Showed David’s playfulness. He will be missed. 000
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Ooooo—another sycophant heading to Mar-a-Lago to seek a pardon from Trump. Some New Yorkers wish he would stay there. 000

luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Climate scientist Benjamin Hamlington and his young family lost their home in LA. Although the future looks dim for our planet, he feels supporting vulnerable communities across the globe & ensuring a decent life for our kids is important. A solution that does enough although not everything. 010
luv48.bsky.social @luv48.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Risk vs danger. 20 yrs of research shows kids need risky play for healthy development of spatial awareness, coordination, tolerance of uncertainty & confidence. We coddle our young too much, leading to the lack of resilience seen today. 000
