Retired and tired. Content. A lover of freedom and believer in empathy. Casting my line in waters I vacated in 2017. Trolling is not fishing.

Kwame Ture (formerly Stokely Carmichael): “If a white man wants to lynch me, that’s his problem. If he’s got the power to lynch me, that’s my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it’s a question of power.” I can't help but think of the racists in power when I think of this.

Today is the anniversary of the horrific acts of violence towards Isreal that left 1200 dead and 254 hostages. It is also the anniversary of an offensive that has flattened 70% of Gaza, killed almost 25,000 children, 42,000 adults and countless more buried in rubble uncounted. Call it what you will.

Cars don't kill people. People kill people. That's why we have age limitations, competency testing, and licensing for automobiles. You can lose that privilege to drive if you are putting others in danger or lose your mental capacity. I'm just saying.

When your country is no longer about the rule of law. I guess you elect a felon to lead you, pardon insurrectionists, arrest moms dads children, redition minimum wage workers, cheer concentration camps, and just murder boatloads of people. Do I got this right.

This is accurate. My only question is. With 20% staffing cuts and more than doubling staff during events like this. Does fatigue come into play? Particularly with the extra overtime and lack of specialized coordinators. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I wonder when the poor dependent MAGA cult members will come to the realization that, Trumps plan, is to put them back into the fields replacing the workforce he is deporting. They will bring back debtors prisons and then send those prisoners to work as slaves. Presto, ain't America great.
