Freedom. Justice. Speaking out. Grandma, mom, daughter, sister, tired teacher. Still, being alive is better than the alternative and I am wealthy in what really counts. Love of friends and family and a clear conscious. Looking for friends.

Someone help me understand how to remain hopeful after SCOTUS rulings today. I won't stop fighting for the constitution and rights, but it's a hard, bleak day.

How your electric bill may be paying for big data centers’ energy use If state regulators allow utilities to follow the standard approach of splitting the costs of new infrastructure among all consumers, the public will end up paying for data centers’ power.

Ice and those sent to stop the protesters are violent.Trump's armed militia (I don't know what else to call them) are violent. The resistance is peaceful. The rallies are peaceful. Stop harassing peaceful citizens who are expressing their legal rights.

If Trump were principal at a high school, he'd send the students who work hard and get there every day home. The ones who rarely show up, don't have work completed, bully others, make lewd comments, and actions toward girls would be rewarded. He wouldn't last a year as Principal.

hell of school children anymore. I am not really serious about testing but as a retired teacher I think Trump is a reflection of the mass disdain for education.

When our President doesn't read & Gabbard considers ways to add animation to his morning briefings I think, "Maybe we need to make anyone running for office take a reading test." You don't pass. You don't run. I know we can't,& shouldn't give a reading test for the right to vote, but we test the

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?"

This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.

He has some thoughts.

The event brought together all generations and that was refreshing. A teen talked to us, saying he didn't know that there use to be rallies 'all the time,' and they were peaceful like this...he got things mostly right. He ended, "this is great. It feels good."

I've been thinking there's nothing stopping US producers raising prices to match tarrif prices. I've been buying lots of consumables. And that includes books, because well, they're books.

Freedom of speech and thought are under attack. It's obvious with what's happening to libraries, museums, schools, and the press

I'm reading Navalny's book Patriot. So interesting. He says the gov. doesn't always cut programs but they gut the offices. Fire employees. Make people appear for appointments. Many, if not most people, give up. It's too far and complicated to make an appointment. Sound familiar?
