Writer, addicted reader and climate activist, I live in San Francisco. Bluesky has helped me come to a reckoning with Trump and the 77 million Americans who voted for him. Books are my refuge, writing is my release. https://daverhodywriting.wordpress.com
Kristi Noem lives in a celebrity bubble. The bubble will pop when she finally suffers consequences for her unlawful acts.
Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

I can't agree more with Pete. This incident should be condemned, not politicized.
Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Fascinating guy - son of Broadway star Mary Martin, hit it big with I Dream of Jeannie and finally Dallas, but a member of the Peace & Freedom Party who spoke out against the Iraq War and did LSD with David Crosby!
As J.R. Ewing, Texan Larry Hagman was the only actor to appear in all 357 episodes of "Dallas." I only mention it because Larry died 13 years ago today, on Nov. 23, 2012. He was 81 years old.

Not only are they defying the general consensus of support for Ukraine by Congress and the American people, they are really, really bad at international diplomacy.
Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.
He’s scrambling.
