Yeah, I cancelled over a year ago and I sure miss the old WaPo, but I can't fund the current regime just to feed my Carolyn Hax addiction. I sure wish there was Some Other Way to read Carolyn Hax though

So there is a very rich man in the WH who wants to tell senior, disabled Amers that they need to find a job no matter how old they are. Better that very rich men and women make America great again by paying their fair share of taxes before anymore ideas from a mentally disabled, old man in the WH.

One-day marches look cute for the camera, but systems donβt crumble in 24 hours.
Itβs gonna take 30 days of showing up, organizing, and refusing to go back to sleep.
If itβs easy, itβs not real.

Chicago is being turned into a war zone! The ICE Gestapo is using tear gas, helicopters, they have snipers nest with guns trained on protesters. When they say theyβre zip tying children theyβre doing it to babies!! Theyβre also making fake 911 calls to drain police resources! They must be stopped!

It is amazing. My cat would not put up with any of that. This evening I touched his Foot without Consent (& when he was not looking.) He leapt up, got in his most dignified erect stance (paws together, head up, tail curled) & told me he was Deeply Disappointed in me. No bedtime snuggle tonight.
