@vfsglobalcare help I’m stuck at Brazil airport can you expedite my visa request? BRA700439891185618 I’m US citizen and did not realize that visa rules changed. It would be so amazing if you can fast track my visa app — it’s a standard tourist visa. Thank you

I have been a journalist 33 years and this one rocks. Long before Edward Snowden, there was the greatest heist you've never heard of. On March 8, 1971, a group of eight Vietnam War protestors broke into a FB lnkd.in/eaMnHNQp

The rise of a new democratic party The Lynyrd Skinner Democrats They dance on the tomb of Chick Schumer, make bonfires with Nancy Pelosi’s stock trade tickets, couldn’t afford Obamas Martha’s Vineyard mansions If they worked 10 Lifetimes. Trump and $4/gasoline will ignite a wildfire of support for this traumatised vet.

@luluGNavarro just profiled Graham Platner and I’d say we have a new political beast The Lynyrd Skynyrd Democrat — think ZZ Top rocking on the tomb of Chick Schumer as millions of working class Americans celebrating. He’s also going to set off a national fundraising base from across the political spectrum. “The Oysterman’s Army” — Maine is educated poor and pissed, it’s a not so quiet revolution.

Chilean Patagonia Rising On a recent trip to Tierra del Fuego I encountered tourists from Thailand and India. WTF? It's record tourism and massive understanding of the value of intact ecosystems. What Doug and Kris Tompkins and a 1000 more planted is beginning to bloom. What a wondrous landscape. I report and write in Patagonia often, it's a wonderland of the past, a rewilding lab for the future. @rewildingChile @rewild @GlobalRewilding

I once snuck backstage and had a moment w/ Jimmy, then 55-60 years old. Me “How do you stay so energetic and spring about like a teenager?” Jimmy — “Lots of yoghurt and lots of stretching and lots of ganga.” Instantly my mantra…

@elderherbal @RWMaloneMD @SecKennedy Those who attack Stephanie Spear are those who never met her . I’ve been a reporter 31 years and she was among the most humble and decent press secretary/ inner circle staff I’ve ever dealt with.
