Loutro Beach on the island of Crete. A small boat with a man in it hovers on top of turquoise water. In the distance, brilliant white stores and homes line the cove. There are no roads to get here. Boat is everything.

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

So many similarities to GOP candidate Nixon dispatching Kissinger to sabotage LBJ's Vietnam talks, initiating a horrendous Cambodian bombing campaign after winning the 1968 election - only to sign essentially the same deal in 1973 that LBJ had put together 5 years earlier.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Wherever you stand to protest Saturday - in body or spirit - you’ll be standing with millions of fellow Americans who know the path to a more perfect union is never thru a fascist, child rapist lunatic king.

Ever.

We’re truly in this together & my heart flies to be with yours.

Be brave.

Don't forget it was Biden who got the majority of the hostages released, but he did so without aggrandizement and certainly never asked for any prizes.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.
