Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Today, we express our gratitude to all those who have defended our country and to the families of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Every veteran who defends this nation must get the quality health care and benefits they have earned and receive the respect they deserve.

Vote out Schumer, Gillibrand, and every Establishment Corporate funded Democrat. They've failed us repeatedly and have no idea how to lead. The Democratic Party will either die or transform into new leadership. It cannot survive in its current state.

Important lesson Post 2024 polls show Harris campaigning with Cheney decreased enthusiasm by 7% Post 2025 polls show Mamdani running as unapologetic progressive earned him 9% of MAGA 2024 voters Corporate Dems: You dont flip votes by compromising your values—but by unapologetically embracing them

This will certainly rank among the best speeches ever. Not just among the best political speeches or among the best acceptance speeches but among the best speeches period. Thank you, New York City, for saying no to the status Cuomo and yes to Mamdani!

Qatari soldiers in Idaho will have better access to health care than Americans.

Never used Spotify, never will.

Will Portland's frogs become the US equivalent of Poland's Orange Alternative dwarfs?

"A Chicago Heights Catholic priest began a 50-day pilgrimage in support of immigrant children, from Pope Leo’s boyhood home in Dolton, IL to New York ... 'This is not only a physical act of endurance, but a spiritual act of solidarity, a prayer in motion'..." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/06/c...

Humanity has lost one of its finest. May your love of animals and our world continue to inspire others, Dr. Goodall. RIP.

"Post interview Bae let me know that Israeli drones are now flying overhead ...sending prayers to these courageous humanitarians who are putting humanity above all else, even above their own safety and security" Morality and bravery from ordinary people like Bae, while the US govt enables genocide.

I stand within my insignificance Cognizant of my lack of influence Saddened by humankind's indifference Awaiting that moment of consequence #Wordsmith #JustWords
