Older, wiser, joyful but appalled by our self-inflicted political illness. I've lived in Oz, Chile, Indiana, rural NY, agriculture, government and academia. Still believing the arc of history will bend toward justice. Wishing I had done, could do more.

It's hard to imagine a more disgusting politician than Comer, but the Republicans have a very deep bench.

There is no oil crisis without a fudamental dependency on oil.

Nobody invades another country to steal their wind or solar power.

Dependency on oil is, by now, a policy choice of the ruling classes. We must break it and we must break them.

Thank you and The Guardian for raising this essential point. It's profoundly disappointing that so few have done so.

Puerile and morally depraved. This guy reflects the values of the Incompetent Sociopathic Felon and his diseased administration. This is what the United States now stands for.

I try to do this every morning and hold off on the news as long as I can. But their songs teach me that there is still much to defend and to fight for in this land of ours.

We cannot forget that she shares this indelible infamy with the Incompetent Sociopathic Felon, all her fellow participants in this vile administration, those who voted to confirm her and every Republican in Congress.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Democrats don’t have to agree on everything. We just have to agree on one thing:

It’s time to win the general.

Over all those years many in the armed forces and our rational governments have worked hard to drastically limit the number of enemy warships we needed to sink. And I guess he forgot or has already erased the history of the Korean and Viet Nam wars.

She doesn't see them as mistakes. Neither does Corey Lewandowski, Stephen Miller, nor her boss, the Incompetent Sociopathic Felon. Still, what infuriates me is all of them have the ability to inflict terrible suffering, repeatedly lie about it publicly and feel nothing.
