I try to see and say things that need seeing and saying. I believe in the semantic web. I just don't know what that means. Search me on Mastodon--or wherever.

Senate confirmed Brian Benczkowski.

Someone with big ties to Putin, and virtually zero courtroom experience is now the next in line to replace Rosenstein at Justice.

How much further, America? Why are we letting the GOP pretend this is normal?

IS EVERYONE IN AMERICA INSANE? What is more preposterous? That this is happening, or that the @NYtimes, @washingtonpost @CNN keep putting up apologists and stooges to make everyone feel this is just Democracy at work.

ONLY A TOTAL FOOL COULD NOT SEE THE MULTIPLE LEVELS OF CORRUPTION AT PLAY HERE.

Dear @SenSchumer
& @NancyPelosi:

The @potus, already suspected of conspiring with Russia, is about to meet with its president ALONE without a notetaker.

And your response to this will be what? More passionate floor speeches?

You lead the "opposition." Please start opposing. @SenSchumer @NancyPelosi @POTUS Congressional Democrats should simply call in sick and stop the nation's business until Trump agrees to either cancel this meeting, or at least take a notetaker or witness along. Acquiescing to this absurdity, novel in the history of the world, is itself almost treasonous.

I JUST SPENT OUR #INDEPENDENCEDAY re-watching @wkamaubell's #UnitedShades of America's show that visited Canada. Why? Because I needed reminding of how angry I am that the people of the United States are being conned, lied to, and victimized every day. And we're all complicit. All you have to do is watch this one 4 minute segment of @DocDanielle discussing the Canadian health care system to understand just how Republicans, @FoxNews and the American insurance industry have been bullshitting Americans for years.

.@SenSchumer @NancyPelosi Respectfully, when are you going to hold a press conference or two and start getting some local news coverage trying to tell the America people just how bad all of this is for our nation?

AFTER THIS PSYCHOPATH FIRES ROBERT MUELLER? Pretending this situation is politics as usual is putting this entire nation at risk. If you play it safe until November, there may not be a November.

Hyperbole? Perhaps. But it's hard to claim that based on the daily evidence piling up. You need to start showing real alarm.

I'm convinced that the solution to repairing America is my Creative Centers idea. By investing in maker space facilities & tech shops nationwide, the next generation could meet, work, bond and learn by making and sharing creative efforts of all kinds. We'll all be much happier. It's not rocket science or magical thinking. Consider your own experience. The happiest and most humanistically kind and generous people I know have creative hobbies and passions.

But most people can't afford the space or tools of creativity. It's a fine goal for government

Once again, @CNN & @MSNBC give the White House all the time they ask for. Obama couldn't get arrested and get coverage like this. But the American left just nods. When do we confront the real problem in America? It *is* the media. (Just not Trump's version of it.) Find me even 2 branded pundits who will say this. They know it's true, but they want the face-time on the networks so it never gets said.

But almost all liberals nod at this with little if any push-back. That makes all of us complicit. It's just hard to take liberals seriously
