Parts of Detroit were literally still smoldering.

Total parental and educational failure. I remain haunted by this.

I learned nothing about the *controversy* of history growing up. Everything was straight antiquated textbook.

This was during some of the greatest societal upheavals in recent history. One example: My family moved to Detroit right after the race riots and there was no mention of it at school.

This. This. This. @kenmartin.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: take note. You organize not by pandering to some mythical center, but by meeting people's needs. This has to be about what people do for each other. Not what your pollsters and consultants advise. Get to work.

They just cannot get to the people. To any of our needs during this total destruction of community structure. It has been a total failure.

Apparently trump‘s MRI failed to identify that *EVIL* has metastasized throughout his body.

I went to a Democratic meeting this afternoon. The House Rep was adamant that *we the people* cannot give up... because that is exactly what they want us to do.

but seeing cruelty like this is heartbreaking 💔
only we have whole hearts ❤️

Everything they say makes my head spin. I read it over again and again and just cannot make it make sense.
Is it just me?

I don’t know enough about Tom Petty, so I’d like to read this. Thanks.

An important point about people with special needs.
Thanks.

It helped to calm me. There were many people there, even though there were no services because of the MAGA shutdown. Here’s a photo of their beloved house.

Will ask today at an event I am attending.

What does mass media think they are feeding us?
Gruel I guess… which is what we should be satisfied with?

When John Adams began his residence in the White House in 1800 , he wrote to his wife Abigail .
In 1945, FDR had Adam’s closing words engraved on the White House mantelpiece. She knew, in the word ‘Me” he meant humankind

“ May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof.”

I have cancelled both. Now I will NOT allow Amazon to use my driveway for turnaround. My *neighbor* gets multiple deliveries a week and they are unable to turn around in her driveway because it’s full of cars. Sometimes they were even parking in my driveway.

No Kings was the first event where it was clear what was happening… especially after a 50501 organizer told me.

The 50501 *side* was much better organized, full of crowd enthusiasm and participation. Exactly what I have been looking for.

What a shame to create such division when we require unity.
