@PaulMSparrow1 Just finished *Awakening.* So timely. & you kept me, who's read a LOT about FDR, ER, Churchill, Hopkins, et al., interested, but I could see many places where you'd condensed background into short, clear passages that would fill things in for a newbie. Well done.
I got to see both Heather Cox Richardson and Ken Burns speak yesterday at the NOLA BookFest. I feel that you should be seeking my autograph just because I saw them. And if you don't get Heather's "Letters from an American" email every day, you should subscribe. It's free.

How come when it was Clinton, the main thing voters should consider was character -- "It all comes down to character" -- but when it's TFG, character is irrelevant, because "God uses flawed vessels." I can't help but sense some -- oh, what's the word I'm looking for here?

We Boomers should begin calling ourselves Gen B. It would make us sound young and hip.
Only problem I see is that many of us have too much hip already, and furthermore, it hurts. Well, two problems. We're too responsible and would be upset that we didn't get a Gen A.

And it is profoundly immoral.
Thirteen years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Jimmy Carter was the first presidential candidate for whom I actively campaigned. I have not seen a finer individual in the Oval Office since, and I doubt that I ever will.

Kimmel is in the second video screen down. Scroll down to watch it.
Jimmy Kimmel delivered an emotional and politically-charged monologue to an empty studio at the top of Wednesday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" following Tuesday's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. abcn.ws/3Glvtq2
@Jeopardy I love Mayim's hosting AND Ken's all-the-other-time hosting. Each is great in their way. We need both.
I haven't personally verified anything in this article. If you follow through with a company, do as I will & try to determine if if the article was mistaken or if the company has changed policy since the article was published. But changing brands IS something individuals can do.

Stop buying from these companies. They’re funding Putin’s war.
