Lots of interests - really too many to list. Still learning how this all works. Navy Submarine Vet, Mizzou J-School, Babson MBA. Currently working at Microsoft; Toots are my own. Preferred pronouns he/him/his.

It's positively stunning in the worst possible way how many once-respected entities, institutions have capitulated to Trump.

Had all of them stood together in defiance...

I can't even finish that sentence, I'm too f'ing angry and too bitterly disappointed to say more.

Let's take another trip into the #NonSequitur vault. This from 2007. This always becomes relevant again whenever Republicans are in charge...
Dear Dems,
Stop asking. No more money. None. Until you get your act together and respond with the fire and fury and action the times demand.

The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.

The #US is seeking to deport a person w/a #GreenCard since she was a child because she went to a #protest.
