Yeah, writing 30 pages is light work for me. I'm diving in for 225.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say โ€” The Washington Post The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Not quite sure what it will take for MAGA to see Putin as an enemy.

"Never again will I leave you, not even for a minute. I endured everything for your sake and didn't let them [Russians] break me," Ukrainian Defender said to his family in the first minutes of his return to Ukraine.

Do you mind if I quote this in something I am writing? Naturally, I will credit the use of your words because I am not a jerk and don't steal people's words as if they are my own.

He planned the sit-ins alongside John Lewis, Diane Nash, and Marion Berry amd the thing he told me about fear sticks. He said "of course" they were afraid, they were ypung. But he said they were more afraid of what would happen to this country if they did nothing. Ashรฉ.

Bernard LaFayette, Freedom Rider and Selma voting rights organizer, dies at 85 Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

September 1996, my first year of grad school at Fisk University, I interviewed Bernard Lafayette about his involvement as a student leader in the Nashville sit-ins in 1960. He was a great man, generous with his time and advice as I embarked on my own journey for change.

Biv is my fave since 88 so it was a joy to interview him. I actually met them in 83 when my dad was a local DJ and went to the studio with him when they were going to be on the radio. I was 8 and too shy to say hi. I believe I cried ๐Ÿคฃ.

I interviewed him and Biv separately in 2011. Ralph was very generous with his time, we talked for a few hours.

I actually got quite a bit of writing done this week on a few different projects. This weekend, I am reading entries for an essay contest I am helping to judge. #JudgeNumber9

The Republican-controlled House voted against releasing details of a taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay victims of sexual misconduct by House members.

Rep. David Kustoff and Rep. Steve Cohen voted to keep the files private by a procedural vote.

He thinks it will keep him in office and allow him to cancel elections. He is a very desperate and disturbed man-child.

This should scare everyone! This year there will be a 250th anniversary for the country and a 25th anniversary of 9/11. The date 9/11 was not random, it was symbolic. To think retaliation would be immediate and not symbolic proves how foolish, impulsive and short sighted this war is.

Do they know how many R's switched their registration to D just for the primary per direction they got from Steve Bannon and others?

Kristi Noem tried to leverage her position at DHS into a pre-presidential campaign for 2028 and ensured she will likely not work again (and probably doesn't have to compliment of the US tax payers via government contracts she gave to "friends."

Sincerely you are taking psychic damage every time you use a slop generator, and you do poison damage to the neighborhood and everything downstream of the data center that burns water for you

The only weapon system the us can design and build is the slop generator, which is a psychic torture device
