I was thwarted!

The NYT is lost. The NYT has no idea how to cover the madness of Donald Trump. So the NYT ignores it just like the madness of King George III had to be ignored by The London Times in 1789.

The Washington Press Corp. is lost along with the NYT.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.

All is tragedy in the end
With a trail of needless destruction& suffering

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:
