Good night everyone. I couldn't fall asleep last night, and I felt like death all day. Going to get an earlier night (for me) sleep. Have to drive to gimili to pick up my mother and take her for a medical appointment. Gonna be a long day of driving back and forth.

Well done!

A tweet by Gramps says “RELEASE THE FILES!” with a photo showing a projection on a wall of several people edited into a parody movie poster titled “Guardians of Pedophiles,” referencing “Guardians of the Galaxy.” A car is passing by the projection on the street.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads:
“The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”
