Retired, politically independent, usually don't say much but will when I feel it's needed! My comments are my opinions, you can have your own! Oh and more gray than my avatar!

TO LOVE A COUNTRY, AS TO LOVE A PERSON, IS TO LOVE A FLAWED AND EXQUISITE CREATION, TO SEE WHAT IS BEST IN IT, TO BE ANGRY WHEN IT IS NOT WHAT IT COULD BE, PRECISELY BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN GLIMMERS OF ITS GREATNESS.

I know that it may be nieve of me but I'm hoping that SCOTUS listens to the arguments and then being honest with themselves deferr to the former court that actually knows about tariffs!

On November 4, 2024, one year ago, I was filled with so much hope and excitement that Kamala Harris would be elected president the next day November 5, 2024. I have not felt that excitement until tonight with the Democratic wins.

The midterm elections start tomorrow. Let have a #BlueWave26

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

I appeal to the Dodgers to refuse a White House visit with a person whom has brutalized thousands of their fans. I boycotted the team all this year because they went last year. If they refuse, I will return. Please join me & support our angelenos being terrorized by ICE & let the Dodgers know

Auburn University requires faculty to review courses to comply with anti-DEI law Auburn's provost office posted a web site on how to comply with state and federal DEI mandates on Oct. 31.

Disturbing news out of Auburn University, where the admin is pressuring professors to sign a statement saying they're complying with an "anti-DEI" law and TPUSA is holding a rally and trying to record classes.

I hear faculty are terrified to sign, worried this is a pretense for mass firings.

97% of Bostonians have health insuranceโ€”and that means access to care, vaccines, cancer screenings, and peace of mind.

MAGA Republicans want to rip that away with their cruel premium hikes. We wonโ€™t let them.

Thank you, Dr.Ojikutu, for fighting for public health.
