The photo might depict an ancient, giant millipede, [FN1] but the rows are not legs of an extinct arthropod. A shaved human head & bare human shoulders make up each row. The photo is from the El Salvador prison where trump’s admin sent ppl alleged to be in “gangs.” [FN2] 1/9

Of the 238 deported, 179 have no criminal record. [FN3] This is a story that CBS, CNN and AP have covered. [FN4] One assertion re stories adverse to the trump gang is “the media are liberal & biased” [FN5]…

Speech was free & protected in this country, under the national Constitution [FN1] and under the States’ constitutions. [FN2] Safeguards were not considered absolute. Restrictions on speech included speech during times of war, i.e., speech might stop a war. [FN3] 1/17

“Land of the free” was a reach for a country that:

1) protected slavery in its Constitution. [FN4] The Capitol is a de facto monument to slave labor that built it, [FN5] but Buchanan’s last address to Congress…

I was about 11 years old & saw The Harlem Globetrotters play in Kokomo [FN1] against their only opponents. [FN2] The game was an exhibition, w/no season on the line. The same as pro wrestling, the athletes had to be in great shape, playing > 400 games per year. [FN3] 1/12

By contrast, we can look at sham contests, such as the golf tournament trump won at one of his golf courses last weekend. “He’s never won a championship at a course he doesn’t own and operate.[&] wins when…

The posts that follow were sent to Kevin Smith via DM on “X” at 8:53 am. At 7 pm EST) Mr Smith has not replied. Mr Smith brags that “lefties” won’t appear on his show, but really he, like his far right peers, do not like level playing fields. I’ll be back tomorrow. 1/10

On Sunday evening, when you mentioned on the thread(?) set up by @AngelaBelcamino that no “lefties” would…

MSN’s web portal [FN1] placed under “news” an item w/a stark header that a 1996 video of Rep Nancy Pelosi “Crushes Democrats’ Narrative on Tariffs.” [FN2] This was a popular bit for several voices of the far right. [FN3] Mr Chai also slams Sen Bernie Sanders 1/11

as seeking, in 2008, the same goals as trump’s tariffs today. [FN4] Mr Chai’s is a hit piece based on mischaracterizations. [FN5] A Fox header is accurate: “30 years ago, Nancy Pelosi demanded Congress confront Chinese…

Tomorrow, nation-wide, people will protest are against forces that have plunged this country into crisis of a type & force not seen since 1860. What I am about to write will bum some people out, but this all must be said. [FN1] It will not be enough to remove trump from office. 1/10

Elements of what is called the Republican Party (“GOP”) began to use the mechanism of electors in a cynical grab for control of the Oval Office in 2000. [FN2] The Framers never intended Art II of the…

At Western High School, [FN1] our math teacher [FN2] distinguished “dumb” (no brains) from “stupid” (brains present, but willfully shut off). Fast-forward: former classmates fr WHS re-post memes on FB. People read the memes & might accept them as true, even though 1/10

the memes’ content is, totally or mostly, false & stated in offensive terms, such as on 4/2/25. A meme was re-posted under the header “Net worth before running for President” & had profile head shots of…

trump wants Greenland and refused to rule out military force to take it. [FN1] Such an action by the USA would violate Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, ratified by the Senate in 1945. [FN2] The UN Charter is binding on our country as a treaty. [FN3] But wait! There’s more! 1/9

A basic premise in The Declaration of Independence is governments derive “their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed.” The people of Greenland are a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. [FN4] Denmark is…
