@spjika Thank you for reading and commending, dear sir.

Only when Ken Paxton has an unviable pregnancy should he even hope to make this call.

If they gave a quarter of that annually to every person who they will incarcerate here they’d probably eliminate most of the crime. But that’s not really the point, is it.

[Saint Resist - Break The System @SaintResist]

🚨 Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly drops a bombshell under oath! He confirms that Trump sought to corrupt our system using his presidential powers. This is not a drill, folks. Pay attention!

Kelly's sworn statement reveals that Trump repeatedly asked him to use the IRS and Justice Department to target political opponents. This is illegal and goes against the core principles of democracy.

Remember, Kelly has contemporaneous notes from their conversation where Trump made these requests. This is not hearsay or speculation—it's hard evidence.

If Kelly's claims are true, it means Trump tried to weaponize federal agencies against his political enemies. This is a clear abuse of power and an impeachable offense. We cannot turn a blind eye to this.

The fact that Trump's response is to dismiss Kelly's claims by calling him a "psycho" speaks volumes. It's a desperate attempt to discredit a respected military general and divert attention from the seriousness of the allegations.

We cannot afford to elect this clown again. Another term with Trump would be more than just a circus—it could threaten the very fabric of our nation. We must learn from our mistakes and protect our constitution.

Let's say no to Trump's divisive tactics and prioritize the values that make America strong. Our democracy deserves leaders who respect the rule of law, not those who abuse their power. It's time to stray from Trump and reclaim our integrity. #ProtectOurDemocracy

Share this post and spread the word. We must stay vigilant and hold those in power accountable for their actions. Our future as a nation depends on it. 🇺🇸✊

Truth can be bracingly basic.

I grow tired of saying it. So this will be the last time. There were absolutely no white people here (in America) prior to colonization. Agree?

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@Dalai_Mama_ You are correct. “I am here to agree with you,” I feel compelled to acknowledge.

@CrystalWilki We are all like waves in the ocean, looked at in the fullness of time. We have but a brief, foaming moment on shore. Thinking of you and loving your memories my dear.

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@CrystalWilki I am vehemently opposed to exclamation points, but the conventions of our culture make me seem like Scrooge… I share your ellipses tyecastong @CrystalWilki

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@JoyceCarolOates Certainly related to whiteness, uniformity, monochrome citizenry and national wealth. Right?

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@damarishill @CrystalWilki Well all can celebrate the @damarishill Italy residency right now. Sorry I can’t remember the name but celebrating Italy should do while we wait in @CrystalWilki when-can-I-say land…

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

So true, so correct. She has spoken. Those of us who still breathe and who wield words must do our work, in ink.

@zorafuture You can tell I don’t watch tv. Happens with my students all the time.

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@zorafuture I am sure there are things that need fixing. But even that is in the future. I sympathize and applaud your announcement, but the future keeps coming and it's all about what we do then, zorafuture...

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@zorafuture Horrible does not sound good. As Morrison modeled, Close the door on yesterday. If you want more of Morrison's reflections on life, as I remembered them, the book Miss Chloe is in bookstores now. Writing the book is the only reason I remember how she modeled that idea.

@salesses 43 is so young! And I’ll bet you had or have dreams of the two of you at this age. I am glad for the time you had together and sorry for your loneliness now. Time is both a fickle and blunt force; I hope your grief will lift.

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@CrystalWilki Your grandmother did such a fine job. With you and with wrestling with life. True for so many grandmothers, especially those of sable hue. Keep saying her name.

[A.J. Verdelle @AVerdelle]

@zorafuture You have a date certain. So all you do until then will pay off on that date. Start from the presentation you want to see, and draft backwards. Do that while you continue working forward, wherever you are in the process. Congratulations, Zora, the future needs you.
