"Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale."
Republican Steve Schmidt

"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. . . ."

"We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country who’s ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.”

"When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. "

". . . if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.”

“Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable . . . "

'Chard Whitlow' -- Henry Reed
(Mr. Eliot's Sunday Evening Postscript)

As we get older we do not get any younger.
Seasons return, and to-day I am fifty-five,
And this time last year I was fifty-four
And this time next year I shall be sixty-two.
And I cannot say I should like (to speak for myself)
Dylan Thomas reads Chard Whitlow

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word.

Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality.

Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too.

Two giants who helped change America.

Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

“We should not be punishing communities of color by cutting away voting locations that are familiar and common to them,” says Roderick Miles, a Democratic commissioner for Tarrant County, TX, where Republicans have voted to slash the number of polling sites by nearly one-third ahead of the midterms.

It makes me angry
Young sailors on an aircraft carrier are probably 40-50% non-white and 50-70% Harris voters. That is likely directly connected to why they don’t have food. Hegseth’s Pentagon prioritizes units viewed as “loyal” i.e. white and conservative and punishes people they don’t like (trans, female, nonwhite)

Thanks! This is very plausible & good to know.
