Next time I open your newsletter, Mary, I will provide myself with an elegant---but 100% fireproof--- jumpsuit. You lit a bon fire, woman! And it was brilliant.
WOW! Mary, I was jarred into wide-awakeness from the beginning to the end of your communication - it was an every-paragraph-riviting read! The only pause from my-every-nerve-ignited moment reading your column was coming upon the magnificent photo of Linden!!! Thank goodness his enigmatic unflinching gaze provided me with a pleasant prelude just before I turn in for the evening! But, I don't want to end this comment without extending heart-thankful hurrahs and grateful appreciation for you, your brilliant writing, indefatiguable energizing spiritedness, and inspirational courage!
On fire tonight! Not holding back and rightfully so, in my opinion. You should also be given an honorary law degree for your explanation of the 1st Amendment right to free speech 😉 Thanks for your work.
Excellent summary of the law and the sorry state of chaos that surrounds us. The pathetic, grifting, narcissist that is your uncle understood 2 truths about our country: 1) far more people want to be entertained than want to be informed, and 2) the myth of the 'American Dream' hid the ugly reality' of the 'zero-sum' strategy (ie, for me to win, you must lose), which allowed him to divide this country into endless fractures to be exploited by mediocrities like Weiss, Greenwald, Maher, etc and monsters like Facebook and Fox.
Mary, thanks for everything you covered. I found this item on social media & believe it to be factual. It provides context for Neil Young’s stance. I share it in that spirit.
“So... Neil Young contracted polio as a child in the '50s. He had to relearn how to walk, it left him permanently disabled and contributed to a serious anxiety disorder that he still deals with today. He has epilepsy and so does his daughter. He has 2 sons with cerebral palsy. The album TRANS was written as a way to communicate with one of them. He founded The Bridge School for kids with severe disabilities and still organizes annual benefit concerts for the school.
Neil Young understands post viral syndromes and disability better than most. He understands public health and the importance of messaging, platforms and how they can be used to create good and to also cause harm. In todays world it's amazing to see someone with a huge platform use it to send such a loud and powerful message. I have mad respect for this man and wanted to use my teeny tiny platform to shed light on some of the things that have shaped this good human who has provided the background music for so many of our lives "❤ - Amy Hirshfeld Fein.
On a different note, I’ve always had kind of a love/hate thing for Bill Maher, but lord, it’s tipped waaaaayyyyy over to not even wanting to hear his bile. I was looking forward to hearing Fiona Hill (once again!!) and what a waste of her time!
Thank you for this information about Neil Young. I spent several years of my childhood during the pre vaccine years of the polio epidemic and managed to elude it but many of my cohort did have it. Two of my college rommmates were survivors. A nasty disease. So are the others. I have a rare condition and sometimes attend online NORD conferences. Am constantly inspired by people with disabilities living such extraordinarily courageous lives...in contrast to certain chicken politicians who cave to "he who must not be named."
Mary, I absolutely love your so very apt descriptions of these hateful traitorous fucking assholes that consume our media atmosphere with their toxic garbage.
Mary, I love it when you set them straight. A girl after my own heart! I was born with a justice heart gene from certain ancestors and once, while serving in the US Foreign Service in Russia during the cold war, threw a KGB agent (who mistook me for an easy mark) against the wall opposite my hotel room door by slamming it at a well timed moment with the appropriate amount of force. I heard him hit the wall and slump to the floor. I was in the country for a good 7 more months on special assignment and no one ever bothered me again. Kind of like the Irish Fishermen energy.
Linden has it and so does Sebastian.
I have some "good in us" books to recommend whenever that is appropriate as a topic.
Mary, please talk about “Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America”.by Sarah Kendzior. Shes been hitting the nail on the head for years.
I am delighted by the erudite aside about Justice Blackmun. Few people are familiar enough with any member of the SCOTUS to inject a remark likethat. .
Thanks Mary, lately as I recover from a health issue (non-covid) it is so pleasing to read the newsletter then share it over a variety of shares as I will soon be fit enough to be more active in this letter, Im so proud of E Jean and her mastery of this method, goes to show a master can master any method, and E Jean is a master of mind for Me, Love & Peace, Ari Says Hi To Linden, who can take the truth!
About the books: you probably know that the wingnut sinecure system ensures that the books — in prior years physical ones, but now almost assuredly digital sales as there’s no disposal cost — are bought in bulk, shipped to a warehouse, then sent to the pulp mill. Who’s buying them? The Kochs and other wingnut welfare sugar daddies.
Greenwald's integrity has been in the toilet ever since he said there was no proof that Trump colluded with Russia. I listened to the Mueller report, and honestly, 1) I have no idea why Mueller did not force him to testify and allowed the inanity of the written responses and 2) that the MEMO (it's NOT a law) saying Presidents' can't be indicted is followed. It's a MEMO, not a LAW; GET OVER IT. Greenwald has ZERO credibility and has been in the tank for years, with the only thing he cares about being $$$$$
Btw, Mary, thank you for the complete list of people who are also in that same vein, the vilest IMHO being Mahre who parades himself as some kind of 'Libertarian' but who is, in reality, this misogynist, hates children. Still, I am so cool bc I smoke pot ass***. He overgeneralizes everything and yet says that he's always been this way as recently as last week. No, he has slowly moved to the right, like erosion on a swampy bank over the years. He thinks he is the same, but he is NOT if you look back at his old show, Politically Incorrect. We don't see people like Sarah Bernhardt anymore, and I don't think we ever will. His opening monologue is stale, and he sounds like an old fart (Who again thinks he's hip because he can talk about the 'woke' crap and calls out both sides when one is hell-bent on destroying all of us. He is a terrible person. (if you read his book about his time in stand-up, the sexism is clear). Sorry to rant on that, but it sticks in my craw. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here and always being the voice of REASON. We need more of that. 💜💜💜💜
Mary, your breath of knowledge wow's me. Maybe you are a speed reader too. I must spend at least three hours a day going through the news, 98% left leaning and the occasional reading something out of the right just so I never forget who the enemies are. And then I find myself exhausted from it all. Perhaps you have a method for how you cull so much information and are able to spit it all out. And maybe you would share that with us.
Next time I open your newsletter, Mary, I will provide myself with an elegant---but 100% fireproof--- jumpsuit. You lit a bon fire, woman! And it was brilliant.
You constantly inspire me, E. Jean.

Thank you, Mary, for your column. I enjoyed the picture of Linden since it made me laugh.
Mary Trump -- Telling the truth and bringing the facts. Damn you are good.

Exceptional newsletter that needs wide media coverage! You need your own tv/radio shows. The country needs to hear your messages.
