I have more faith and hope in us/society, than I did months ago and during trump 1.0. I believe we can come together, I believe.

Wow. The professor scared the hell out of me with his look into our future as a nation. I definitely see the parallels between Trump 2.0 and Putin’s regime in Russia. The tariffs and the coinciding shakedowns of various industries give me concern of our direction toward criminality. Let’s hope Hegseth’s emergency meeting with the military leaders next week is nothing more than him trying to look important.

Save Democracy.

Fear the algorithms will make it worse before it gets better. Good news is some young people are starting to shun being online all the time, maybe there is hope. Looking forward to this new book on TikTok.

Elizabeth Willing Powel asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?". Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it".

Thank you. Scary as the conversation was, I found it oddly satisfying. Now we can look forward.

I always have hope and have dug my heels in, at my own peril, here in Brevard County Florida. I refuse to be intimidated. Thanks for doing what you do!

So glad I could find this today. Piano lessons and pussy cats. YAY.

You should offer your “course” as a package. I am lazy. I would rather “buy” the package rather than resurrect the episodes. Love your contribution. Hugs to pancake.
