Musician, educator, retired. no Trump. Avid reader and seeker of truth. Yes, that’s a kingfisher. NOT the dj from Vienna. I’ve been using this handle since 2007. No idea who the other guy is. No DMs, No OF. No MAGAt.

Levin: People then said, “Do you think you can take out a fascist just by voting, just by organizing? You think that’s how this works?” Yes, that’s how this works. If they can do it in Hungary, we can do it here.

Trump could hand me a check for a billion dollars and I’d still vote against him. I don’t understand why so many Americans are happy to be bribed. Don’t you have any pride?

How do we make teaching a sustainable career? We need: 🎒Education budget tied to the defense budget 🎒Teacher minimum wage 🎒Strong teacher unions 🎒Investment in the paraprofessionals that a kid needs to be their best learner and so teachers can focus on teaching

The law is that “Although the WH is not required to open its doors to the news media, once it establishes press facilities for credentialed journalists, it cannot deny access based on the content of a journalist’s coverage.” That's exactly what Trump is doing. joycevance.substack.com/p/its-a-nice...

It’s a Nice First Amendment You’ve Got There…

Mea culpa for the long post on a Saturday night, but read on and see if you don’t agree that it’s essential.

No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.

One thing that makes me profoundly sad when I think about 9/11: We largely saw the best of America for a while after the towers fell. The “rally around the flag” effect was real.

I remember the first Trump joke I heard. It was back in the late 80s. Trump gets on an elevator. A beautiful young woman gets on at the same time. She turns to Trump and says, “I could stop this elevator and give you a great bj.” Trump replies, “What’s in it for me?”
