Once again, thank you for having coffee with me. I am heading down to DC for a couple of days, for what should be a joyous time of a baby shower. But my heart hurts because 3 or 4 of my dear sweet's children may or may not have jobs today. One in the SEC, one in DHS, and one in the State department. I fear for them. I fear for my adult children, one in Seattle, two in Pittsburgh and one here in Lancaster County. What is to become of their futures? My Granddaughter, who is 11 and a budding ballerina and flautist. Her performing arts school has students, some were friends, who are now following their MAGA parents rhetoric. MAGA has infiltrated the creative world and it is frightening. Just when I think that perhaps we've seen the worst and the tide will turn, we sink further down the rabbit hole. Looking for the leaders to help us out of this is getting harder and harder.
OK, rant over. Enjoy another cuppa and enjoy the sunshine today.
The pace and scale of the destruction of this regime is incomprehensible. When are we going to hear more about solutions, things we can or are doing collectively to defend this. At some point, we need to stop just talking about the problem and start talking about solutions. We have a majority.
Awesome. Love Life of a Showgirl. Love the showgirl era. When they revealed it you know it was going to be a classic. 1989 is still the gold standard but this feels like it’s right there. So tell me what’s your favorite era? And did you really get threatened to be fired if you kept playing Taylor Swift??? That’s insane. You are definitely a dedicated Swifty. And I can’t believe someone would be that nuts and so much of a hater to threaten to fire someone over music being played. Frank is awesome. What a story. The news about the ADFL is so concerning. They are actually preventing these things from happening. Finding out who these people are. And after all these Mass shootings they should be looking at these far right extremists. Isn’t that their job? They should be trying to find out who these groups are. Thank you for your reporting on this. And enjoy the re listens of the album. Make sure you go to AMC for the behind the scenes of the Album.
Great post, love the bold headings. We are all consuming so much that outline format is a relief. Thank you for working so hard to keep us grounded, educated and inspired.
The corruption in the regime is appalling! $20billion for a foreign government with no discussion in congress? No oversight, no pushback? What good is Congress to the people? Why do we even pay them? They aren’t doing anything, but lying to us and throwing money away!
Top of the morning to you, Olivia. Nice to see that corrupt, fascist, trump and his cohorts have billions to give to farmers for trump, and Argentina. Yet GOP, the party of family values, have little to give to America's poor and working class children. Slash SNAP, ACA subsidies for parents, and increase drug prices with ignorant, illegal trump tariffs. And as GOP put children's lives in harms way, they continue to protect their pedophile and sex trafficking friends. Feed trump's wall street buddies and take food from the mouths of Americas children. Lucifer blushes at trump and GOP actions.
And it is pathetic to see cowards like trump's tim apple bow to the fascistsso easily. Dems need to use antitrust to bust up these compliant, dangers to democracy, especially the tech bros. tim 'rotten' apple and his tech bros babies need to be legally held accountable for bowing to the fascist trump and putting American democracy at great risk. If dems do not play hardball against these tech bros oligarchs, dems will regret it.
Speaking of banning books, FL and other red states make a habit of it. ?
I made a comment in one of Miles Taylor's recent podcasts that he and Olivia run on a Save America ticket as co-Presidents. I was unaware then that there is a group called Save America, a 501(c)4. It is very impressive. So if the 2 of you do decide to run, I guess another party name would be needed.
Like others say, Olivia, you are very important to our sanity and hopefulness.
I just skimmed this one as the constant barrage of horrific news gets to be too much. But I always want to hear what you’re thinking. Have a good weekend, so beautiful here in mid Atlantic.
Hello fellow Patriot and Swift Olivia. I have three adult daughter's and they are all super fans. I'm also proud that my girls love my divas, Mariah and Whitney 😉. What's your favorite track, I think mine is Wish List, so sweet 💜
Thank you Olivia: Kash Patel had to cut ties with the ASL & SPLC The entire administration have leaning toward White Supremacists and Christian Nationalistic beliefs. They don't want anyone looking into their business.. Stirring up hate is essential to operate a police state. The administration is bent on keeping different races and elements divided and fighting each other. The women of America will be relegated to second class chattel. Stay home , take care of the domestic duties, have babies , four babies will get you a mothers medal. Hell Germany was one better. Four babies got a bronze , six babies got a silver, and eight babies got a gold medal. Women may be banned from the internet. they must be subservient to the breadwinner. Education will be decimated and only carry the MAGA curriculum.
Kash "Crazy Eyes" Patel cutting ties with the ADL (Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai B'Rith) -AND- with the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) is a truly sick move in these times, when WtP (We the People) must push back against the ugliness of HATE.
💜
When I returned from Yom Kippur services yesterday, the first thing my wife asked me was, "Weren't you afraid there might have been a terrorist attack?!" I couldn't honestly say no. But, I wouldn't let fear stop me—because the haters are not in charge of this world, God is. (Apologies to atheists!)
🙏
Regarding the "seasoned citizens" [™️] who love Taylor Swift: Oh heck yeah!!

I am so sorry to hear this. Sending you all love and strength. Thank you all for your public service. Enjoy DC!! The weather has been beautiful.
Oh, that little ballerina brings tears to my eyes. She has soul; I hope her community/family can help her protect that.

Maybe; if we try we can save ourselves, and other insecured.

Too bad we don't have any laws on the books to prosecute Bessent when sanity returns to our government
