Several ICE survivors testified to Congress today. The violence is worse than I imagined. This must stop. My country is circling the drain.

Thinking about Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center reminds me of the graffiti painted on public spaces—antisocial self-promotion.

Some of my ancestors were here before the United States began; my most recent immigrant ancestors of which I am aware came in the middle of the 19th century. I also carry my driver’s license and voter registration card. But all I need is my speech to prove I’m a citizen. Lucky me. 🙁

Look to Snopes to refute lies about ICE victims. Why would anyone go to the trouble to slander them? Or to repeat such lies without corroboration? How stupid do they think we are?

I can’t think of anything clever to write. The last few days have been heartbreaking. We just have to stand up for justice and whatever way we can.

Jimmy Swaggart’s TV channel is defending Trump & ICE killings. what kind of religion does this? They should stick to their traditional practices of peddling merch & attempting to rationalize fundamentalist theology.

I just wrote “get rid of ICE“ letters to all of my Congress members. They’re all Democrats, but they probably still can use the statistic.

I spent the day on errands, prepping for a winter storm. When I got home, I turned on the news and all evening it has been one horrible thing after another. I’m at a loss to think what is going to become of my country. This criminal administration must go. CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS,, DO SOMETHING.

Memo to everybody: It’s time to retire “weaponize.”

Chip Roy was yelling at Jack Smith about alleged abuse of power. I’m waiting for him to yell at the President.

Dear Europe, I’m sorry. My country has made a big mistake, and for the time being, we’re stuck with him. Like a lot of Americans, I think you are all nice people, and don’t deserve to be insulted. I hope we can get back to normal relations someday soon.

Trump performed according to his habit, this time in front of world leaders. If you voted for him I will try to forgive the mistake, but for goodness sake, do something to correct the error. Write your Congress persons. Toss your MAGA cap in the trash.

Trump is running off at the mouth in Europe. Disgraceful. He must go.

R. F. K. Jr. says “do your own research.“ Right. I’ll set up a lab in my carport. Where should I start? Polio? Cancer? How about brain worms?

Apple just updated my iPad & phone. Controls have changed, location, appearance, and in some cases functions. None of these changes improve my experience as a user.

Presidential quiz: would George Washington fall asleep in a meeting? Would Abraham Lincoln flip someone off in public? Would George Bush curse in public? Has any previous occupant of the oval office been as cheap and vulgar and dishonest and generally useless as the present one? Impeach.

Preachers on Swaggart’s TV channel are taking the side of ICE & smearing undocumented immigrants. Disgraceful.

“ONE WORD DESCRIBES TRUMP” an article in the Atlantic monthly perceptively analyzes Trump‘s method and explains how to oppose it effectively. The one word is “Patronialism. “

It may be blessed to give, but it also is blessed to receive, to recognize that the giver put in time and thought about you. They will be glad to see you enjoying their gift.

It’s low on my list of complaints about Mr. Trump, but his nasty vocabulary is beneath the dignity of his office. The word for today was “sh**hole, delivered while making a public address.

Are we to believe that the US Navy lacks the capacity to seize a small boat, its cargo, and its crew? What necessity requires blasting them to bits? Why doesn’t this action make me feel safer? This is one of many instances of blood on the hands of the administration.

A stopped clock is right twice a day. I just discovered that last spring President Trump commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier. The story is too long to fit here, but this man did not belong in prison for the last 50 years.

I’m interested in the Epstein files, but more interested in what the doctors actually found in Trump’s latest checkup. I doubt that he is mentally fit to remain in office.

Trump wants to stop recognizing nursing as a professional collage degree. I will be forever grateful to the professionally educated nurses who have cared for my family. The President is a national embarrassment. He should resign.

About 2 PM Tuesday the speaker is expressing his concern for Epstein’s victims. Does his religion have anything to say about hypocrisy? What a disgusting human being he is.

Tomorrow is the day. If you haven’t already done so, VOTE.

You know you’re old when you see a story on the Daily Beast about Drew Barrymore encountering the challenges of menopause and you remember seeing her for the first time as a cute little girl on some talk show. Maybe Johnny Carson? You’re also old if you remember watching Carson.

The Greatest Historical Lies That Built Christianity (Unveiling The Truth) check this title in YouTube. It takes a while to see the whole thing, but it is extremely interesting. What do you think?

Preachers on Swaggart’s TV channel are spouting right wing economics quackery. Blind leading the blind.

Listening to MSNBC tonight I learned enough to decide to remove CNN from my iPad. Broke my heart. In the Ted Turner days my late husband was proud to work there. It’s not the same place anymore.

Alabama just executed a man by suffocating him, pumping nitrogen gas into his lungs. I wish that the official who okayed this barbarity would be willing to stand in the room and watch it happen. If we have to be uncivilized, can we at least be mercifully swift?

How is sinking boats suspected of drug smuggling any different from shooting suspected drug dealers in the street? Can’t the entire US Navy stop and investigate one small boat?

My favorite sign!

I returned from a very well behaved No Kings demonstration to see a video of Trump wearing a crown, flying, a plane dumping excrement on the heads of demonstrators. If this was not his idea, he should denounce it immediately. I won’t hold my breath.

I just heard the Rep. leadership describe the No Kings marchers as communists & worse. I attended a march with a lot of ordinary, suburban citizens, including moms and kids, elderly people, and a few people in wheelchairs. I didn’t notice a single presidential assassin in the crowd.

Why is the US Marine Corps conducting an amphibious assault demonstration at Camp Pendleton today? Is Donald pushing the toy soldiers around on the living room floor in an attempt to distract from the massive No Kings demonstrations all over America?

I searched “Charlie Kirk“ in YouTube, and the result is thousands of entries, mostly laudatory, pumping up his reputation in a way that never could have been accomplished while he lived. Where is our country headed?

Wait? Which one is the party of states' rights and against "big government" and federal "interference"? theintercept.com/2025/10/09/r...

Is this funny or sad? A donation & prayer request called in to Jimmy Swaggart’s TV “ministry” asking for help “to recover from a financial scam.”
