I’m older than dirt. I write bad Haiku. And I’m a fan of science, freedom, books, public education. Used to speak a little Swahili but life was different then.
Anyone know what this is. I have gotten several on leg/arm. The center is very white at first. Outer ring is bright red-pink Cortisone cream helps with itchiness and seems to reduce lifespan.

And so I have arrived at the remembering part of life. So much change.We were so full of what we could do. What we would do. What we were doing. Freedom! Equality! I didn’t do drugs. Didn’t need to. I was high on life.
Where did it all go? Was none of it real?

I used to matter.
I used to be a person.
I used to have a future.
Now I’m just old.

I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality.

25th this man immediately.

Much that we treasured has died in recent years. Gone forever. Broken beyond repair. Our struggle now is less to get back what has been lost and more to rebuild everything from the ground up. And to do so while dealing with those who sold us out for power & wealth.

To this day, after ten years of increasingly disturbing statements, conduct, bad faith, indulgences, and impunity by Republicans, and after every analysis I could read, I don’t and can’t get it.

Nothing — not greed, not fear, not hatred or racism, nothing — explains this level of depravity.

The political parties started out battling over who could do most good for the People. Now one party is blatantly saying the purpose of the People is to do good for that party’s would be king and his court.

We stop them NOW or we sentence our children to servitude.

I am a Democrat now. But over the years I have been Dem, Republican and Independent. I have voted my conscience.

When did loyalty to a political party replace loyalty to the Constitution? When did we decide it’s not rape, lying & theft if our political party does it?

When you lose your farm, when your kid is yanked from sleep & zip tied in middle of the night, when it is your daughter who is victim of an “epic“ rape, when your child dies of appendicitis b/c you hv no insurance, you can console yourself with the knowledge that your country has a ballroom.

“Gerrymandered” is like if someone changes your property line so that they own the part your house is on. And you have nothing to say about it.

Finally.

It’s past due for Dems to punch back.

I lack the courage to watch the news clips of the Gaza Strip that show desperate children holding up empty containers hoping theirs will be one of few that is filled.

I’m confused. Did undocumented workers hire themselves to work in US businesses? Force US business owners to hire them?

Remember 1/6 when a mob broke into our national Capitol, assaulted Capitol police and wanted to hang the VP? Remember how the Marines were called in to restore order?

Oh! Wait a minute…

I wish I didn’t feel we were pawns in Dem power plays as much as we are in Rebubs. Dems are paid handsomely to do their jobs. T is breaking the law and defying the Constitution. Why can’t they figure out how to stop him without constantly asking for more money? Where is the courage? The resolve?
May 25, 2025 at 7:46 PM
So our nation is celebrating the men and women whose courage and sacrifice gave us freedoms that are now being taken from us? In future will this holiday will be about remembering when we were free? Or will that be a punishable offense?
May 25, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Email after email from Dem leadership saying we can stop T, hold him accountable, get control of the House, etc.

Al I hv to do is give $5 more, $20, $50. & sign a meaningless petition.

How much of our $ is being used to raise more money? The strategy isn’t working. Something has to change.

I hv read that over half of those receiving social security are women. I wonder how many of those women are wives al? mothers who didn’t work outside the home. I don’t hear T T & company rushing to reward those women for their choices. They claim to value women’s “traditional” roles. Sure they do.
