I see Pink is doing the same thing that Adam did. Yep. She's not mincing words either. Adam follows her. Watching the movie Hidden Figures about the black women of NASA. Great movie I saw it in the theater at the time. Nominated for Best Picture. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it. Yes, Adam follows her on IG and Twitter, but what's really nice and refreshing to see is that Pink follows Adam back on IG. Loved that movie!

Thrilled Adam watched Tucker Carlson last nite and agreed with him. It's the best show on TV and had the highest ratings of any TV show Monday nite...cable or broadcast. Hannity gets on my nerves, but I love Tucker. I think his shows are on Youtube. Agreed, I love Tucker and Laura too, she's a smart cookie.

I am grateful for Adam and the many artists supporting the reaction after the murder of George Floyd. The memorial service conducted today by relatives was moving. The more politically minding eulogies remind us how far we have to go. I know there are theories about who is doing what and where to take advantage of the chaos between covid and the deaths of several people of color. I hope that there will be a review of what's happening now, and if not, that the citizens will elect leaders who will. (Hope I'm being apolitcal enough.)

I am proud of Adam. Proud because he was finally able to take a clear and solid stand against fascism in our midst. What we are living thru is not the “normal” political discourse, not the “normal” dems vs repubs on some issues... this is democracy vs dictatorship, freedom vs fascism, proud leader of the free world vs banana republic under Putin’s thumb driven by the 39% united by nothing else but hatred of anyone who doesn’t look or sound like them. By speaking out he is making a small difference. And THAT counts. That is how I feel so I understand Adam’s views on T. These are not normal times. If you want a preview of T’s plan for “civil defense” check out the Playboy interview he did in 1990 where he spoke ADMIRINGLY of China’s massacre of protesting students at Tiananmen Square because it showed strength. (No lie, no conspiracy - Google it). On Monday morning T. spoke - not to the American Public- but to Putin (no lie, his Press Secretary admitted it - Google it). He then excoriated the “weakness” of Governors, told them to “dominate,” and - the disgusting debacle at Lafayette Square. Now, a bigger and bigger fence is being built around the White House while more and more militarized police and other forces (not in identifiable uniforms) are amassed in DC. That’s NOT NORMAL. I understand if mods delete.

I found Rev Sharpton’s eulogy extremely powerful. Had to watch it twice, with tears in my eyes. Thought of this for some reason... youtu.be/xrcAWtVhb0c

Haha, yeah, can't believe Adam watched Tucker either. That guy is a menace...he's disgusting. ETA: My opinion only of courseHa! You don't stand alone with that opinion. I can't even listen to the hate and falsehoods that normally comes out of the mouths of Tucker, Laura and Hannity, unless they are broadcast on other channels. Some of the main ones pushing the it is just the flu long after everyone knew it was much worse. Or go back to work you low paid cowards while they are safe and not rushing to get back out in the public themselves. UGH!

I am almost technologically inept. I wrote and posted something, accidentally posting it to yesterday’s post. I tried “quote” and tried to highlight to copy. Can anyone help?
Partly, getting what should be easy is not because I got word that one of my friends has Covid, has been taken to hospital, and will have to go on assisted breathing.
Thanks again to anyone.

Laura and labron-james are two people with two different opinions, I don' see how that makes either of them a racist. Why is Laura's opinion less valuable than the opinion of Labron James? People throw the word racist around so much the meaning has been diluted. As for Drew Brees he is a good man who has donated a fortune to all kinds of different causes in his community and I believe he is also entitled to express what his Country and flag mean to him. As for Laura, she has three adopted children, I believe the two boys are Russian and the girl is a brown skinned girl from Guatemala....looking at her family doesn't make me think racist. I'm guessing you probably think anyone who watches Laura's show or listens to her on radio show is also a racist.
