Isn't it odd that it always, always, always somebody else's fault. Always.

Congrats Congressman! In my book, Three Hundred Zeroes, I made the point that I think everyone who runs for a public office should hike the AT. It would give them a different world view and an appreciation for their fellow citizens. Welcome to our world.

In this Lincoln Project Youtube video, I think Maya May, Kate Salkowitz and Rick Wilson missed a point about people leaving Twitter (yeah, X). They're not leaving because they can't take the heat, they're leaving because it is the only way we can hit back at Musk. Don't feed the dragon!

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the β€œprivatization” label. It means β€œfor profit” and YOU are the cost.

Sorry, I just got started on Bluesky and didn't realize I have replies waiting. Anyway, I'm the author of Three Hundred Zeroes: Lessons of the Heart on the Appalachian Trail. I'm also co-author of A Short Walk on a Long Trail: A couple's sauntering on the Vermont Long Trail, with Jane Blanchard.
