IN THE AIR

β€œThe open air I sing, freedom, toleration,
My song is there, and I must sing my joys in the open air,
I stifle in the confinement of rooms.

My soul is borne through the fresh, free, open air,
Soothing, sane, open air hours …”
- Walt Whitman

To My Apolitical Friends, It's Time You Got Political To those who believe I’m too loud, too opinionated, too politicalβ€”I get it.

Remaining quiet in turbulent times is a luxury that perceived privilege and intellectual ignorance afford. That passivity is born out of the illusion of safety.

(Trust me, none of us is safe.)

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

β€˜On April 5, 2025, nationwide β€˜Hands Off!’ protests are taking place to oppose actions by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, focusing on issues like healthcare, jobs,
and civil rights.

Thousands of people are expected to gather at various locations across the country to voice their concerns.’

My Privilege Made Me Grieve Losing an America That Never Was I’ve shed many misplaced tears recently.

I haven't been missing America, I've been missing an America I wanted to be, an America I imagined to beβ€”an America that never was.

The Cost of the Government’s Attack on Columbia American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

Glad to see my university's president take a strong stand on the government's assault on universities.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

"Trump is unfit! I'm working on impeachment!" - Congressman Greene, removed from Capitol during Trump's speech.

Democrats protested during Trump's address, raising clear signs reading "Musk steals" and "False" on the reverse side which was shown when Trump told a lie.

To recap, Trump:

-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI

This is disastrous leadership.
