This has been turned into a meme and they credit my account here, which is very nice but strange because I posted it years ago on Twitter and then again on Mastodon but I haven't posted it here. Until now. Which technically makes this meme a violation of the temporal prime directive.

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

Someone needs to set up a camera so we'll know when Pete Hegseth orders this plaque removed from West Point.

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Just after dark I spotted a hiker above treeline, below Columbia Point. This time of year that's not a great place to be and I was concerned enough to phone it in. Based on the hiker's lights during the descent it does appear they made it down safely.
