77 years old widower, 3 daughters, 6 grandchildren, combat Marine 65-69, liberal Democrat, hate the Greed Over People. Kindness, empathy, compassion the only way to live. Atheist, because religion is evil.
Honestly is anyone surprised? I'm not. This is what you get when you elect a criminal who wants to be king to be President. Project 2025 told us exactly what was going to happen. And here we are.
In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.
Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals
The prime point is that there were many potential paths to peace available to both Israel/Jews, and Palestinians for millennia, but their millennia of hate and “religious” dogma/false pride and hubris led to their mutual destruction. Extreme attachment to dogma is always recipe for genocide and war.
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." ~ Michael Okuda
This wasn’t how it was supposed to be… The tragic truth is that, as some of us warned a decade ago, mainstream climate science has turned out to be the opposite of alarmist. It has turned out to be complacent and over-optimistic. Truthfulness - and strategic adaptation - are urgent. (Pse repost.)
A first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!
How can anyone conclude other than the US is a now rogue nation runs by murderers, thugs, and crooks? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

General Eisenhower was our last great Reoublican President. He warnedn us about the Military Industrial Complex and warned that every weapon used meant a child was not being taken care of.
The only way the Epstein abuse could have gone on for decades is to have the "right people" in place. The right people have always been in place. The right people are STILL in place.
Breaking: Another victim, Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo, has died in ICE custody at Delaney Hall prison after being denied vital medication and family visits. Depriving sick detainees of care until they die is murder by neglect. We demand complete transparency and justice for Edwin! 🎥 Statuscoup
DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin says he's still trying to find "the worst of the worst". Repost this important reminder to help him‼️
"Let's work to get the worst of the worst off the streets, and then you won't see me in your cities and states like you do... in fact, you probably won't even see us at all." --DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin
Neither socialists nor communists destroyed 237 years of Constitutional democracy. In 2010 SCOTUS passed "Citizens United", the most deceptively named Republican ruse since Fox "News" (aka GOP TV), which unleashed unregulated capitalist greed. And the biggest billionaire feeding frenzy in history.
Republicans are so pathetic they're recycling Red Scare dogwhistles as old as Trump: NB reporters: "McCarthy's reckless and unfounded attempt to impugn my loyalty is just one more example of his typical tactic of attempting to tie up to Communism anyone who disagrees with him." --Edward R. Murrow
They refused him medication, brushed off his complaints, and let him die while detained at Delaney Hall. On that day, a young girl lost her dad—and a piece of herself. Heartless monsters tried to cover up his death, but her voice WILL be heard. Justice for Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo! 🎥Statusacoup
I agree with him that ICE should be abolished. I’m voting for Haley Stevens because as my US Representative, she’s working on shifting ICE funds to local authorities and holding independent third party investigations to hold them accountable. Those are pragmatic, achievable, immediate actions.
The Supreme Court just dismantled voting rights. The people are marching. August 28. Washington, D.C. Defend the Vote.
Our neighbors are being kidnapped from our streets. We have seen increased ICE activity across Seattle neighborhoods over this past week. ICE must be held accountable for their cruel and illegal actions. We know that fear and chaos is their goal. We counter that with knowledge and community.
DHS must immediately return Eduardo Aguirre home to Washington state. These cruel tactics to speed up deportations and remove due process must stop. Disband ICE.

David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”
The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.
