Only Trump can warn about "Radical Socialists" then have the US government buy a stake in a private company. When is the MAGA world going to figure out that YOU CANNOT TRUST A WORD out of that man's mouth?
Regarding the comment regarding the immigrants need to go back home...here's a quote I read about a year ago, thought it might be appropriate: "Thanksgiving: Celebrating the day the native Americans fed undocumented immigrants from Europe." (We are all immigrants, except the native Americans.)
To push back against the hate and threats you are receiving for your courage and tenacity, I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your expert insights into the people and happenings during these frightening times. You are a valued warrior! You are the best! Thank you!!!
I know you’re being careful and sure you have security but I worry for you and Miles Taylor in particular. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be in his cross hairs.
I’m so sorry that Olivia has to endure threats for standing up for democracy. When we become a nation that values its whistleblowers we’ll have a chance at getting back to a democracy in which threatening, not Olivia, would be rejected. Because we’ve continuously ignored our whistleblowers, we opened the door to authoritarianism, plain and simple.
All you need to consider is one fact: we have had teachers blowing the whistle since 2002 on how they AND their students are being abused at WhiteChalkCrime.com and EndTeacherAbuse.org and no one seems to care. There is so much arrogance it hasn’t occurred to them that school shootings are red flags telling us how messed up our schools really are.
If you care about justice, you don’t ignore whistleblowers. Arrogance and the inability to look beyond the surface brought us to this ugly place.
It’s arrogant to think our teachers, our children’s other mothers, don’t matter and not to expect that we’d have the government a society that would abandon its teachers deserves.
It’s not okay to be the lesser of two evils. It opened the door to Trump.
It’s diluted evil. It took a longer time to show its essence! Yet did we ever really have a choice without a little evil? It seems the authentically good person runs from politics so our job is taming evil.
And the reason why we have to put up with shit candidates like this is because we do not have open primaries in most states, people refuse to do their civic duty in primaries, and that intelligent people are not willing to put themselves and their families through the gauntlet of media BS because no human being is ever perfect. Everyone has some sort of dirt in their closet.
Not everyone. That’s why I focus on rescuing our teacher whistleblowers since those of us called to teach really don’t have evil in our souls.
Our country always will have evil people but when we lost the truly caring called-to-teach teachers we became unbalanced. My mission is exposing that fascists took over education 40 years ago and trashed or muzzled the teachers of substance. The problem is that the average person doesn’t know what’s going on. Hence, I wrote my teaching memoir A Graver Danger. Look at the reviews . People are getting it but I’m no celebrity so very slowly.
It will never be without evil but now it’s like someone sat on a teeter totter and kept the good souls called to Help others from us.
We must take advantage of people who are other centered since so many are selfish. Instead these kind teachers mostly gave up on teaching and on ever being heard.

Thanks, Olivia. That's a good roundup. Glad you got to see the Taylors and get a quick break from all the rotten stuff going on. I never thought I'd see Bolton in a favorable light, but hey, the world is upside down.
Outrage should be breaking out all over. Instead, Olivia, you are one of a few public voices highlighting the hypocrisy that is leading to the end of democracy. The Bolton raid should have produced protest all over the country. It has not. Not every democracy succeeds and I fear ours is about to fail.
Trump is making lawyers rich going after people like Bolton. That said, it will be interesting to see if Bolton complains that he cannot get adequate representation. That is the real threat that Trump presents and one that the courts, I have to believe, will totally nip in the bud.
Jeanine Pirro a journalist??? That is like calling Stephen Miller a humanitarian. 🤦♂️😔💩
The immigration debate is hilarious and sad. MAGA wants to totally halt immigration until they see that they cannot get a house or a fence built. Or that their fruits and vegetables cannot be harvested. Then we all of a sudden need carveouts. They seem to want it both ways.
This idea that only data that pleases the Orange Guy is going to come back and bite hard as we have built a society and infrastructure on the use of accurate and factual data. Once that data cannot be trusted, whole systems will fail or make terrible decisions that will impact society in ways we cannot even imagine.
The Cracker Barrel melt down is so stupid. The best quote I saw about it was that "today's generation wants their own nostalgia reflected, not Chuck Grassley's!"
Trump & Co. are clueless rich old men and think this is how you save industries like Intel. Sometimes it works as with Chrysler but not always. We shall see if this was a good bet, but I doubt it as the vultures have ben circling over Intel for many months now.

I’m concerned about you Olivia. I’m sure you’ve already prepared yourself for this possibility but I immediately thought of you yesterday.
I thought of Olivia too! Olivia, you have many caring people in your corner!
I have a lot of respect for you. Thank you 😊
Glad you attended a James Taylor concert. A nice break from all the madness.

Will somebody please give our wailing, failing manchild, Donnie, a blanket (with extra smallpox)?!
Go back far enough anyone not in Africa is an immigrant. Where’s the line?

People forget that picking between the "lesser" of two evils is still picking evil. 🤦♂️😔💩

Stay safe, Olivia. You are an inspiration and hero.
I remember reading Kash Patel has an enemies list. On it are all the decent Republicans who stood up to Trump when it was warranted.
Patel said that he is going to use the FBI to create the biggest manhunt in history. I'd that's not chilling, I don't know what is.
Keep up the good fight, Olivia. Thank you for speaking up.
Thanks for the zoomed! Made my day!

Chrysler is now owned by Italian/French company, Stellantis. Ciao, bailout!
