I'm a musician and a student of history, politics and economics. As a middle aged married white male, I’m deeply concerned about the authoritarian direction our nation has taken.

Can't recall ever seeing anything quite like this during a Congressional hearing. And I've been in and around politics for 50 years.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

This is key. It’s not on the individual to do everything , it is on each and everyone of us to do something and that is to vote.

$4 billion in corrupt deals, a $25 million fraud settlement, and now blanket immunity from prosecution. Corrupt Trump built an empire on scams and corrupt Republicans protect him instead of us. We deserve answers, not silence. Vote them out in November. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

This MFer should have been jailed ages ago. Damn those who could have stopped him but lacked the courage and integrity to do the right thing. I’m more angry at his enablers than him as he is completely unhinged from reality. Come on republicans, do the right thing for once!!!

After seeing this misleading ad in the Albuquerque Journal this past weekend, I did some further research to find out what the real motivation might be. As suspected, this has nothing to do with tribal sovereignty or fairness and everything to do with competing economic interests regarding casinos.

It’s really scary reading this stuff, but it’s extremely important that we understand what we are up against in order to mitigate it. I believe we can and will get past this, but have to be vigilant, strategic and smart. I really appreciate Tim Snyder’s work.

Absolutely correct. After the Iraq war, I got rid of my gas guzzling V8 pickup truck and switched to a more comfortable Subaru. When that wears out, I will get an EV. The greatest act of resistance that we can do is to use the least amount of fossil fuels as possible.

In spite of the constant barrage of bad news, we still need to envision the world we want to create. We know that Kamala would have been an awesome president. We must continue rejecting this criminal regime and demand a government that works for all of us. Love and compassion have infinite power.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

I'm really worried too. The best we can do now is to bring on Maria Corina Machado is the legitimate President and the US needs to get out. As bad as Maduro, it wasn't our place to take him out. There should be congressional and even UN authorization before this move was made.

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…
