And mine shall be: “He was an idler, added nothing to the world at large. Was known only for his nauseating braggadocio. Family requests no flowers - a life best left forgotten"

Hey, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio - The Hague is calling y'all. Y'all are gonna have to eventually answer to them.

"It is the sacrifice of the best of us by the worst of us." - W.B. Yeats

So, not only does Donald Trump rape little girls, but he murders them as well. Ain’t y’all proud to be Americans?!

My granddaughter doesn’t care for naps, not at all.

America this was the last fucking time, we will no longer died for you, you fucking ungrateful shithole country, shame on you all. It is a rupture, you are on your own.

Just so courageously, insightfully, and brilliantly articulated!!! Greenlandic Politician: "What Trump doesn't know about Greenlandic people, is that we don't really value cash, Kardashian lips, fake boobs and stuff like that." www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMPe...

My granddaughter singing on stage while her daddy accompanies her with his guitar.

I recall processing at AFEES on Balboa Dr. in Chicago. My enlistment, on a stark gray dour day, forced me to put away my childish things, though I did hold on tightly to the CASE penknife that my dad had given me, which my grandpa had earlier gifted to him before my father shipped off with the Navy.

Displaying my letter to Letter to the Editor here on BlueSky as our local Dunwoody Crier newspaper refused to print my letter that identifies Charlie Kirk's bigoted remarks subsequent to the Crier publishing an article (more like a paean) that essentially canonizes Charlie Kirk and his "disciples".

Just voted for the Public Service Commission here in Dunwoody, Georgia for Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard as they aren't in the pocket of the utility corporations as the incumbent Republican candidates are.

We marched from the No Kings Atlanta Civic Center rally to the Georgia Capitol, but none of us anti-fascists trespassed or battered police or called for the Georgia Lt Governor to be hanged as what occurred at the Trump's Jan 6 insurrection So, mendacious MAGA Mike Johnson, who are the terrorists?!

No Kings!!!

Then arrest me first for unabashedly displaying a tattoo on my right wrist that shows my allegiance with the anti-fascist White Rose group, who, including Sophie Scholl, were guillotined for sharing anti-Nazi pamphlets. "Trump’s executive order prosecutes donors who support antifascist philosophy"

Thanks a lot, you worm-brain riddled, unscientific, dangerous lunatic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for making it so bureaucratically Kafkaesque difficult to get one of those new Covid-19 vaccinations, especially for us old folk! I was in line for at least four hours today to get one here in Georgia.

Amicalola Falls here in Georgia. My granddaughter just loves the water!

Veterans Against Trump #VeteransAgainstTrump

My granddaughters twilight swimming in Lake Lanier with their daddy.

Twilight swimming with her momma in Lake Lanier in at age 20 months. My granddaughter Cora Mae sure loves the water!

Even in old-timey radio days, they knew about Trump and Epstein:

A busy day at the office for my granddaughter and her momma.

It’s not an Independence Day weekend without Shakespeare.

With their daddy and mommy, my granddaughters at their Italian nonna’s in Charleston, South Carolina

My dense overgrown backyard, that is consuming the haunted doghouse, that my son built decades ago for our three rescue dogs. Nowadays I only spot copperhead or two slithering in and out of it.

My signature vertical slice for this season’s homegrown fried green tomatoes.

That’s me walking into the tear gassed foray holding a “Veterans Against Trump” over my head. Some smart aleck commented in reference to me: @10 seconds in, who let grandpa out of the nursing home?! "ICE protesters clash with police along busy DeKalb County road" www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO31...

Holding my latest granddaughter for the first time. Such a lil’ darling!

My daughter created this for her husband on Father’s Day.

So, at yesterday's nonviolent anti-deportation rally in protest of Donald Trump and his policies on Chamblee-Dunwoody Road in DeKalb County Georgia. At least eight protesters were arrested and they tear gassed us multiple times. #DeKalbCounty #Dunwoody #Georgia #NoKings #ChambleeTucker

My incredible daughter, her wonderful courageous husband, and their growing family of two lovely daughters, one, of course, a darling newborn.

My youngest daughter, Delaney Mae, a bona fide Emmylou Harris' red dirt road girl here in Georgia...

Veterans for Ukraine since Russia's genocidal invasion on Feb 24, 2022 and forevermore!!! The fascist Russian regime must be driven from the sovereign nation of Ukraine, arresting the murderous dictator Vladimir Putin and try him for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide at the ICC.

It's the Gulf of Mexico, folks, as it has been since 1550 and will be forever, and that's the truth that I shall teach my grandchildren to know. And you MAGAs can take my Gulf of Mexico shirt when y'all can pry it off my cold dead torso! #GulfOfMexico

As the U.S. stock market continues to decline precipitously, it appears that Donald Trump's Black Tuesday is nigh.

I moved from Chicago to Georgia so that a couple of my causticly witty daughters might digest the vernacular and metaphor laden aphorisms necessary to one day sit at the same dais as the other great Southern women writers, but with the advent of Trump's fascism, I'll just buy them diaries.

The pathologically mendacious, draft-dodging, war vet besmirching, fascist, racist, misogynistic, treasonous demagogue Trump is not my president, nor shall his wars be my wars. I've a wife, daughters, daughter-in-law, granddaughters; so, if you voted for the rapist, I'll never forgive you.

Back home and getting ready for the Trump inauguration!!! Hail, oh racist, misogynistic, fascist Dictator Donald Trump!!! #VeteransAgainstTrump #NeverForgetJan6 #VoteVets

I recall processing at AFEES on Balboa in Chicago for my USAF enlistment, on a stark gray dour day, which forced me to put away my childish things, though I did hold on tightly to the CASE penknife that my dad had given me, and my grandpa had earlier gifted to my dad before he shipped off to WWII.

Out where Trump and his MAGA cohorts can't reach me. I'm so sick to my bones of the bigotry and stupidity of over 77M US citizens who voted for him. Y'all got your wish, so enjoy the most pathologically narcissistic and mendacious man to have ever walked this earth. Really, revel in the next 4 years

My Sonoran Desert Peyote Shaman stringy beard is coming along nicely, don't y'all think?! Do y'all know why I use "y'all" in conversation? Cuz unlike Latin, English doesn't have a 2nd Person Plural other than the South's vernacular "y'all".

Thank-you Ann Telnaes for not being a collaborator with the incoming fascist regime of Donald Trump and his cohorts as Jeff Bezos and the rest of The Washington Post Editorial Staff are. I canceled my WaPo subscription and shall subscribe to the media outlet hiring her. @anntelnaes.bsky.social

Used to love the coffee at my the AA meetings in Chicago, which we'd drink scalding hot in styrofoam cups poured from a commercial Bunn brewer in the parish house basement. But in Georgia, the AAs seemed to be segregated by class, with an overbearing religiosity that only served up a cup of shame.

Ain't nothin' like a six cubic yard dumpster to make an old man in his 70s feel like a lil' boy on Christmas Day again! And who knows, aside from the demolition debris from my mom's house, a few of her neighbors' "Trump 2024" banners and Confederate flags might find their way into my giant dumpster!

My daughter with her daughter in an enigmatic pensive pose pondering the new year, with my granddaughter bonding with her soon to be born baby sister, assuring her that it will be all right.

How did our nation fall so far, to go from this man, Jimmy Carter, of unquestionable integrity, honesty, altruism, and valor to the pathologically mendacious, draft dodging, war veteran besmirching, fascist, racist, misogynistic, treasonous demagogue Donald Trump?! I really want to know!

Donald Trump didn’t make his supporters ignorant and racist like he is. They’ve been ignorant and racist for a long time, Trump just convinced them it was something to brag about.

Nope, nope, nope - ain't going back! When Trump has his racist fascist henchmen close the Mexico border, I'm staying in the right country on the right side of history - Mexico. I'll have my grandbabies visit me for their DPT & polio vaccinations as Trump will've banned vaccines in the U.S. by then.

They've no idea what they've done. The fools had more than a peek at the fascist chaos brewing in Trump's Pandora's box, but they went and opened it. Now there's no one this time to close it. My daughters, daughter-in-laws, & granddaughters are whom I weep most. America is no country for women.
