liberal, pro-democracy. Harris would have a made a great POTUS, #KHive. No DMs. No crypto.
“As you might imagine, I get a lot of calls from people asking my advice on whether to run for office,” Shapiro told me. “I’d say that ten per cent of their questions are political, and ninety per cent are about what can I do to protect my family.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
When Participating in Politics Puts Your Life at Risk

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable.

“Political opposition... is given an inhumane overlay, which then justifies the abrogation of all normally applied customs of civilized behavior. A political policy is equated with moral right, and opposition to it with diabolical malevolence.”

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

“Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong… Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.”

Our leader is having repeated trouble staying awake at public events he's hosting; is acting more erratically online and in public; is making decisions that are doing clear material harm to the country & our allies. Simply, his declining health must become a bigger issue.

“.. A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.”

Intolerance occurs when individuals reject, disrespect, act prejudicially toward or attempt to silence those with different behaviors, beliefs, language styles, poltical views, values, etc. Intolerance stems from a lack of self-awareness and of grace.

Trump’s Venezuela regime change adventure is in danger of degenerating into a strategic, political and legal morass. The showdown is now slipping out of his control, both inside the impoverished oil-rich nation and in Washington.

"These works also suppress an even more uncomfortable fact: Shakespeare did not invent the story of Hamlet, nor was he the first playwright to stage it. Elizabethan playgoers were familiar with Hamlet well before Hamnet’s death" www.theatlantic.com/books/2025/1...
The Long History of the ‘Hamnet’ Myth
The belief that his son’s death inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet is itself inspired by an enduring, compelling, and highly questionable theory.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

VP Harris was going to build over a million new housing units and give first-time homeowners $25,000 toward their down payment. But too many voters couldn't bring themselves to vote for a Black Asian woman. I hope they enjoy their 50-year mortgages.
