An uneducated populace can be easily manipulated by not facts checking and believing the lies.

Oligarchs can buy WHATEVER they want! There really is no limit. They have no scruples and worship only themselves and money.

"A whole lot of people are going to be really hurt by what is happening&even if they’re of a different political persuasion, we need to call upon our empathy&not judge, but listen from our hearts&welcome them into our tent.We are going to need a big tent to resist successfully what’s coming at us.”

Dad took the photo of Mom, Jeff and me at Gala Night on the SS United States end of the summer 1958 on our return voyage from England. Jeff painted this wonderful painting of that special time.

Record-Setting Ocean Liner, a Titan of Its Time, Begins Its Final Voyage The S.S. United States, the largest passenger ship ever built in America, left Philadelphia under tow on Wednesday, eventually to be sunk off the Gulf Coast.

So many memories from the voyages my family took on this magestic ocean liner summer of 1958 to and from England.I was just 9 years old. My younger brother Jeff & I went with our mother in Tourist class to England & we upgraded to Cabin class home when Dad joined us. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

My confusion -there was a post far down on the thread that lead me to think it was Skylar not Will, as Will was never clearly identified, so I did some digging. It's a mess for so many! 47 & Musk will probably throw money at them to compensate them for their losses in hopes of winning them back..

This "older farmer"and rural political consultant is Will Westmoreland not Skylar Holden. Will did a podcast with Don Lemon and also interviewed with Skylar Holden, a cattle farmer from Missouri. Here is an article about Skylar rollingout.com/2025/02/13/m...

Almost half of us DID NOT vote for him. He is an absolute shitshow destroying everything so many of us hold dear! The revolt is beginning - look at the demonstrations that are beginning and the thousands of calls to Congress to express anger over what is happening. We cannot/must not be silent!!

It's a fun little loom. Very well designed - quiet, light and easy to fold up to move around. You can purchase pre-wound warps which makes it a bit quicker to warp. It has a built in bobbin winder, too.
