Having a hard time maintaining consistency on this platform. Please bear with me. Hope you are finding some scraps of #joy on this Sunday afternoon. I am trying to book a plane ticket.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

What an excellent question?

Don't cut NPR and PBS funding!  Millions of Americans rely on public media  for their news and educational programming. In many rural areas in our country, public broadcasting is their main avenue for receiving news, emer...

Just migrated accounts I followed from X. Now unfollowing most of them because too much bad news.

Post about books and ordinary pleasures twice. Post about the death of America once. Please bear with me.

The world has seen this before. Will they recognize it for what it is when it's happening in America? Will we?!?

I'm sorry but why is everyone so SURPRISED about what it going on with 47? He OWNS this country now.

It is beautifully written and narrated very well. I'm halfway in and don't want it to end.

Mi Vida Loca recorded and cowritten by Pam Tillis.

The White House has suddenly removed this page.

47 has NOTHING TO LOSE. He is safe from prosecution and further conviction. He may get the term limits lifted and have a third term. He is filling his coffers from the public till. He doesn't give a s..t what the average person thinks (because most of his base doesn't?) and no repurcussions.

There are secrets beneath the beautiful cover of The Frozen People. And just look at those endpapers! Even Pip is impressed…

You just have to love some of these book titles.

@apurplelife.bsky.social Greetings - so happy to find you here. I went off this type of social media during the last four years and relaxed a bit. Can't wait to catch up on your news and your #nomad and #reading life.

What are you reading? On X we had a book day. Was it #fridayreads I'm reading How to Know a Person by David Brooks and listening to The Safekeep #books #amreading #audiobook

Good morning friends. Fun day yesterday with singing and writing classes. Next week Drumming and ukulele. Having so much fun fullfilling my childhood passions. (And yes sometimes it feels like I'm fiddling while Rome burns but as a friend pointed out I'm not Nero.) The resistance work will come.

Senator Adam Schiff torched Kash Patel:

"Mr. Patel may be, I don't know, but he may be the first nominee for FBI Director in history who felt it necessary to plead the 5th."

BOOM!

That is an optimistic response. Implying at the end of this the country will be recognizable and intact. I'd say almost certainly this won't be the case.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Found a #book this morning as I scoured the shelves before my writing class. Best American Essays of 2009 edited by Mary Oliver.

Today I start two things related to childhood joys and passions- a writing class and a singing lesson. The song in my head is Now Let Us Sing. "LIft up your voice, be not afraid."

Wherever @jimacosta.bsky.social goes after he leaves CNN, that’s where I’m going.

Went to the Bob Dylan movie and came back in love with Pete Seger. Folk musicians where are you now? #folkmusic

Trump Has ALREADY Attacked Libraries This action is the first step in dismantling the Institute of Museum and Library Services and eliminating federal funding for libraries.

This action will deliver a devasting blow to America's commitment to preserving museum and library services.

We know this won't end here.

Rare snow in Coastal NC. Killing time before neighborhood book group where I will be the only democrat. What do you think will happen? Historically no direct political comments have been made. The other two democrats have already left the group.

Severance?

@stephenking.bsky.social l know giving him attention is the worst thing. And I'm going to follow your advice- in a few days
