“To survive,” she mused, “you’ve got to keep wheedling your way. You can’t just fight against odds when it’s not going to work. You have to turn a corner, dig a hole, go through a tunnel-and find a way to keep moving.” Twyla Tharp

If you quit shopping at the grocery store, they wouldn't notice you were gone. If you took a slice of your grocery budget and spent it at a farmer's market, you'd put money into your local economy and maybe even save a farm.

not sure if anyone is at Bluesky. when I visit the site all is calm, unchanging; I have not had a single new follower in many months; exchanges are always interesting & intelligent but relatively few. Bluesky exudes the air of an upscale mall, beautifully maintained, hushed. one will likely not be mobbed or mugged here but one will likely not feel a quickening of the heart, a jab of adrenaline. Twitter may be a "cesspool"-- at least in some quarters--but I think of it as lively like the old Madison Square Garden: raucous, unpredictable, obnoxious, good fun, surprises.

I asked Sean Duffy what an Airline executive would get for contributing $1 million to his "Great American Road Trip" reality TV show. He just about blew up. If you're going to let the corporations you regulate pay for your vacation, you need to answer for it.

If January 6th attendants were all “FBI plants” and “Democrats dressed up as MAGA,” why is Trump stealing $1.8 Billion from U.S. taxpayers to pay reparations to them?

Richard Pryor in 1977: capitalism needs racism to function. Keep people separated by race and they never figure out who the real problem is.

Every word. Chris Van Hollen tells the plain, honest truth about the Department of Justice under Trump. The symbol of this era: That stupid, huge banner of Trump on the DOJ building. It’s a Declaration of Corruption. DOJ is now a national disgrace.

Do you even remember what JOURNALISM looked and sounded like? It sounded LIKE THIS.

do you agree with KBJ ??

Benjamin Netanyahu is the worst US President since Elon Musk.

After Nixon’s “I am not a crook” tax scandal, the IRS mandated that the president’s tax returns be audited yearly. Every president since Nixon (except Trump) publicly released theirs. With the new DOJ settlement ending his audits, Trump is essentially announcing “I am a crook.”

NEWS: Nearly half of the people who once managed the country's nuclear waste cleanup have left in the last two years, driven out by Trump. Hanford lost more than 100 people. Savannah River lost just under 100. Vacancy rates for engineers are over 50%. notus.org/climate-enviro…

The President of the United States just disclosed up to THREE-QUARTERS OF A BILLION DOLLARS in stock trades in ONE quarter. Not over 4 years. Not over a lifetime. ONE. DAMN. QUARTER.

Never forget that when UN wanted to make food a human right the only 2 countries that rejected that notion were Israel and USA.

The President just used his power to exempt himself and his family from audits on every tax return they've ever filed. If that is not corruption to the highest degree, then what is?

Someone who nobody has ever heard of, declined 8 debates, and took $20 million in donations from Israel “won” a primary from an 8 year constituent. We’re cooked.

Q: The president's financial disclosures show a lot of stock trades in companies he has promoted, sometimes even putting the stock ticker symbol in his posts and encouraging people to buy their stock-- JD VANCE: This is a hell of a question Q: How can you argue you are cleaning up corruption when the president is doing this? VANCE: C'mon man. Have a little bit of objectivity in how you ask these questions

Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a flagrant violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause: "The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]." Art II, S.1, cl. 7.
