I have received a precious gift in the subscription to your writings. The access to your thoughts and observations gives me stunning validation that there are still good people out there.
Ok, so as I was sitting here watching "The Carpenters: Close to You & Christmas Memories" documentary on PBS (yes, seriously), scrolling through Twitter, and pouting in frustration over the impatience with the DOJ (and all the ongoing investigations that haven't resulted in charges yet), this popped up and I laughed out loud from the very first line about changing the name of the segment. :) This is a very sassy segment tonight, and on point, as always! It's unbelievable how much is seemingly going on all at once, all the time - it's hard to focus on one thing, which I suppose is the point so that our democracy gets pulled out from under us. Ugh. Thanks for sharing, as always. Looking forward to Twofer Tuesday and seeing what new songs I get to look up!
You have obviously overlooked the South African and South American borders with Texas. They're clearly right next to the Florida/ Texas border. Jeez, keep up, Mary!
"We are headed down a very dark road." The dark road started 400+ years ago. We've all been on it the whole time and now many people are looking around for the first time and seeing things they couldn't see. That's the only thing that gives me hope. We can defeat this dystopia if we have the will to do so. It will be as ugly as it has always been.
I just found out that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s granddaughter was arrested while protesting for voting rights...WHY WAS THAT NOT ON EVERY NEWS CABLE SHOW IN THIS COUNTRY!! I am so embarrassed and ashamed that his granddaughter is protesting for voting rights in 2021. I am going to email my senators and my reps. about this when I get home from work. Don't they (media) know that there is no free press in an authoritarian country!! They're acting like they are just as stupid as the MAGA crowd...??
Seen from France, it is tempting, we all are tempted to focus on the mess to the point we forget the purpose we need to get out of the mess. While legitimate, indignation alone won't help.
Sad and spot on...thank you Mary for pulling so much together. I love your style! We really are lost in the Theater of the Absurd.

Brilliant and poignant as usual

Spot on as always Mary!☺️
Thank you so much for speaking out. Your voice is powerful
Do Not „Quit it!“ Mary, and thank you.
Thanks for a great recap!
Excellent Mary! Thank you for keeping us thinking! I’m wondering what caught Linden’s eye? (Equal Time)
BTW - I heard this on Sirius XM so if I'm wrong, please let me know. I probably should have checked it out first.

Trying to stay hopeful here, Mary <3
