Hope you all had a good pride day
yesterday, about half a million of my closest friends had a bit of a party in West Hollywood. Had a great time.. rode my motorcycle in the parade next to my husband on his bike with my brother on the back of mine. Spent most of the day running around the beer tent and hanging out with friends. But the whole day was like a…

Opioid Addiction in the US, Heroin and Oxys
Here on Long Island the new buzz word is "Opioid Addiction". I've watched this problem grow worse and worse since 1999. In 1999 I was working in Virginia at a place called Pennington Gap and most of the teens and young adults all did pills. They preferred pharmaceuticals than to real drugs. Oxycontin pills were later…

A Splendid Little War in Yemen
Trump owns it. Questions are: When does it end? Who is held accountable when it goes south? How many killed? Is it necessary? https://www.boston.com/news/national-news/2017/02/02/questions-after-chain-of-miscues-in-u-s-raid-in-yemen

Am former Navy. Dad was Army. Brother was Air Force and is current DoD AF employee as a civilian. Read recently of failed…

Republicans want to cut funding for PACT act that supports Vets.
Another horrible move by the MAGA republicans. Vets rely on the funding from PACT for everything from medical help to rehabilitation to counseling. A vet who I was very near and dear to my heart and who suffered from PTSD as a result of three tours in Iraq killed himself very recently (I just found out yesterday). Vets…

Seattle Homelessness
The band has announced they are donating money to help the Seattle homeless issue. I live near near Seattle and I can see this issue first hand and it is pretty bad. There is a full tent city under the I5 just south of seattle. I feel like positive solutions are hard to reach. I’m curious to know what everyone thinks is a…

Hurricane Helene Relief and Help links
I did not see a thread on here so i am starting one. I have family in Asheville and the reporting isn't doing it justice. The place is messed up, bad. Roads, bridges are washed away leaving people stranded. If you know someone organizing for the people or know someone that can help please post here. My cousin is taking…

Can we talk about ageism?
Not because I'm a so-called "baby-boomer", or because I want to rant and rave at younger people, particularly so-called "gen-Z" people (don'tcha hate those labels?!) No, more because I'm curious as to why it is such a thing these days. (If you don't think so, Google "Geb Z Ageism.) A woman who is a friend and someone I…

The Dismantling of Higher Education in America
First it was liberal teachers. Then it was DEI. DOGE killed funding for research grants across the country, stifling innovation and research. Now its its foreign students (not just Harvard, Marco Rubio is pausing all interviews for foreign students needing visas to review their social media accounts). On top of that, this…

A thread about Bill Maher: The Good, The Bad, and The UGLY!
I know you're not all Maher fans but starting at 2:30 (please post a link with just the last part if you have one, thanks!) in this video, Maher sums up what is really going wrong in this election cycle and American politics in general and probably in our society as a whole. And aren't most of us guilty of incivility at…

After Killer Tornadoes Republicans Want To Cut FEMA and NOAA
How much more of this bullshit can Middle America take now that its costing people their LIVES. The hypocrisy of Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and the Republicans who speak about the sympathy for the victims of the floods and tornadoes, are still pushing Bills to cut the budget of the very agencies established to help people in a…

Last Night’s Show in Raleigh
Eddie Vedder’s rant about identity was such a leap and spin on reality and a cop-out. The WMA singer talking about infringing on other people’s rights? What about the rights of biological girls and boys who have to now be subjected to a trans girl or boy and whatever they want? What about the aborted babies? What about the…

Has the world (as we know it) ended?
There certainly is no "normal" no go back to it....the only way is forward. And where does that lead us? I can't tell you how many people I've talked to (particularly the younger generation) who are very doom and gloom and justifiable so. I think in part it has to do with are access to news and information and because of…

Be good to each other
I feel like these days, tensions are heated, opinions are polarized, people are scared or uncomfortable, and we're just not being as good as we can to each other. I just found out that a little sister of a close friend just passed, and it's hit me hard. She wasn't even 25. I'm treating this as a reminder of what matters,…

An Apology - 10 Years in the Making
