Oh, dear Hamlet, something is truly rotten in the State of Denmark, and Sweden, and Poland. But these days the enemy sends spy drones to threaten the populace.

All because yet another insane man-child has dreams of world domination. And of course OUR man-child has given him free rein for a decade.

We have to pass tests in order to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, to assess our ability to do the job. We have to take a test to get a driver's license or determine placement in school. But the assessment of the president's competence is nonexistent. Why?

The suppression of truth-tellers is the default mode of any corrupt coward who craves power. It is also a threat to all freedom-loving people, all artists, writers, thinkers, humanitarians. Speak out while we all still can. #FreeSpeech #CantPickAndChooseFreeSpeech

Yes, good vs bad is eternal. But when the bad is preventable and leaders do nothing--ask questions. WHY won't POTUS do more to protect children? WHY discriminate against all minority groups? HOW can so many powerful bodies
( #SupremelyBiasedCourt) do nothing to rein in corruption? #Think #Resist

We have been lied to many times by many people. It's as though we've come to expect lies rather than truth.

Outside of the endless river of political deception, today's most egregious falsehood: "Your call is important to us."

A heartbreaking day.

If we hear “thoughts and prayers” and “ guns aren’t the problem” rhetoric, and if they go on to say that this is a mental health issue, then know this:

1. Trump cut mental health services significantly.

2. This administration does not care about America’s children

Free speech is granted to us in the American Constitution. Fascists are trying to shut it down. #supportpublicmedia

When the going gets tough, read "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, take some deep breaths, and know that tyrants fall.

I am so sorry for what is happening. You have so much support here in the U.S., but I know that the aid is not getting through. I will look at your site.

It will not last the night.
But oh, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!"

What if we all lived our best life and didn't try to control the lives of others? Wouldn't that be nice? #LiveAndLetLive

Fight the "Big Beautiful Bill" (subtitle "Billionaires' Bloated Bag of Villainy, inspired by the devil) in any way you can. It will be devastating to all of us, and to our poor nation. #OfthepeopleBythepeopleForthepeople

Sometimes, when I question the logic of a person's "true facts," they yell, "Do the research!"
I guess this is a euphemism for "I have never done research on this topic, but I enjoy hopping on the 'Misinformation Express' on the reg. Also, my thinking cap was long ago lost at sea." #criticalthinking

To our past (living) presidents of the United States: Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden.We need your leadership right now. We need you to remind America what a president should be, and that he OR SHE is a public SERVANT. #ForthePeople Lincoln's Ghost, if you could return to kick ass, that would be great.

Hold people to the TRUTH. Before we all forget that particular virtue once existed. And RESIST the self-serving bullshit that comes out of every toady serving the Grifter in the oval office. DEMAND better for our country. #Resist

I've been wanting to read it. I saw him interviewed about a year afterward and was amazed by his composure. I think I'd still be trembling.
