Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 02/02/202610 Days till pitchers and catchers report! Life begins when the season starts. 000
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Ah! Tonight, gummies, sleep and NO reading 5 different books and then trying to write. Carnegie’s essay, “Wealth” can wait . Marabel’s “White Philanthropy “ can wait. And last but not least Mydral’s “An American Dilemma: Modern Democracy and the Negro Problem” can wait to be read another day. 920
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Best quote of the night from my son, who knows I bike 40 miles a day. “What’s a matter old man are you getting slow?” Love him! He’s the best thing other than marrying my wife. She gave me the greatest of gifts. 710
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 22/07/2025This is what the simpleton mindset looks like. It can only handle low hanging fruit. Not nuanced, context and complex theories and thoughts. It is an either or for them. Not a both and. 1130
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Malthusian economics is what starts many of our social ills in motion. 120
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I don’t care if you’re MAGA, Democrat or Republican. Violence isn’t how we solve our problems in America. 3031
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 04/06/2025@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com are you ever going to tell us a different bed time story? OR am I going to have to listen to repeat the same line every single night about Elon Musk and feeding people. You’re supposed to be a writer. Which means you’re supposedly a word smith. ACT LIKE ONE!! 010
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 26/04/2025So, I have been thinking…Biblical teaching teaches us that Eve was created from the Rib of Man, if in fact that is the case although there are some translation debates around it. Then doesn’t that make Eve the first trans woman? 130
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Nothing like a 50’s & 60’s Sock Hop to lift your soul. 040
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 12/04/2025He BLINKED!! I knew he would. His overlord Tim Cook would be calling him. He is a coward with not one ounce or iota of integrity. 040
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 09/04/2025I will say it again, the first party to abandon its billionaire class donors and make the living wage a guidepost of their campaign party platform AND call out the faux populism will have a juggernaut on the American Body Politic. 030
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 29/03/2025I look at how those funds should be spent on natal parents and their respite and reunification. Now, if I can find a PhD program, I’m good to go. 030
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 29/03/2025I link the constitution to the decision and I use things like how the system criminalizes poverty. How you’re guilty till you can prove your innocence. How we allow children to become federally subsidized incomes for our citizenry. I use the history and the laws that fund that system. 040
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 29/03/2025So I have put the child welfare system on trial. Using it against itself. Because we codified our discrimination using the SCOTUS Decision Buck v. Bell. 020
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 29/03/2025They use a metric called predictive neglect in the system to justify their position. I know someone whom I love and was traumatized by this system, and I want them to see some justice for others even though they never got it. 030
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 29/03/2025Well, here is the essence of my PhD and my work. My specific focus is mental health. In 37 states of our illustrious 50 states you can terminate and or coerce into relinquishment based on dx alone. 121
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 29/03/2025So for those of you who follow me on here you have discovered that I specialize in Eugenics and Child/Social Welfare Policy. You are probably asking yourself, WHY? Of all the subjects why eugenics and why social/child welfare? 030
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Wonder how those red states will feel once they realize that their kids may not get their services. 082
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 16/03/2025@karriehiggins.bsky.social you don’t get it. Most people including those that are marginalized STILL voted for it and made excuses just like LGBTQ folks voted for it. So yes, myself included . I know that blue states pay more money into the system and get less back. So, not one iota of compassion 091

Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 23/02/2025@maddow.msnbc.com um, the right is trying to poison your base and your eloquent dismantling of President Trump and Elon’s doings in our government. There’s a video going around of Billy Bush talking about you and Tucker Carlson and your passion for fly fishing. I too am an avid fly fisher. 180
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 18/01/2025May Patrick Mahomes experience the same fate as Joe Theisman on Monday Night Football and Harrison Butker as well. 080
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 13/01/2025I wonder if people realize that from the “Divine Right of Kings” till present day we’ve always had some sort of othering. Eugenics is quite alive and well in the US. 070
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 03/01/2025It is DONE! Now, I wait. Let’s see if this is place where I become Dr. Lester Cook! 040
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Dems need to put on their platform a LIVING WAGE! Stop the nonsense and the belief that they lost strictly over their positions on social issues. 050
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Nothing is more difficult than finding the right program. 030
Les Cook @umpref13.bsky.social · 07/12/2024I am DONE! I have applied to Brandeis University for a ph. D in Social Welfare Policy. 060
