Echo report published in Billboard by Melinda Newman:

Taylor Swift isn’t the only famous cat lady throwing her support behind Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and VP candidate Tim Walz.

In a missive posted to Instagram on Wednesday night (Sept. 11th), Linda Ronstadt gave the two her endorsement, but not before writing a scathing screed (strong opinion) directed at former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who is holding a rally Thursday (Sept. 12) in a Tucson, Arizona hall named after the legendary singer.

“It saddens me to see the former president bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit,” Ronstadt, who included a photo of her holding a kitten, writes.

Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson. I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something.

It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit.

I don’t just deplore his toxic politics, his hatred of women, immigrants and people of color, his criminality, dishonesty and ignorance — although there’s that.

For me it comes down to this: In Nogales and across the southern border, the Trump Administration systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum. 

Family separation made orphans of thousands of little children and babies, and brutalized their desperate mothers and fathers. It remains a humanitarian catastrophe that Physicians for Human Rights said met the criteria for torture.

There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.

Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.

P.S. to J.D. Vance:

I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mom. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for @kamalaharris and @timwalz .

Republicans and GOP have met The Mouse That Roared

Echol opinion letter published in Tuscon.com Arizona Daily Star news.

The book, The Mouse that Roared, tells of a fictional tiny country that declares war on an elephantine United States. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy first refused to lie for a menacing President Trump, now stands ground against Putin’s formidable Russian military.

Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy is a Ukrainian politician, former actor and comedian, who is the sixth and current president of Ukraine.

Daniszewski quotes Zelensky’s reply to a US offer of extraction “I need ammunition, not a ride.” 

Given the gun-loving mindset of the US elephants, that statement should be enough to win support. But no… they stumble around, straining to hear Trump and the Fox News bunch to forge a GOP position.

Yes, Zelenskyy is an unlikely hero. Before becoming Ukrainian president, he was a TV actor, playing a high school teacher who became President after standing up to corruption.

Is acting a TV hero good practice to becoming a hero?

I want to fight; give me weapons, not a ride — Ukrainian President, Zelensky refuses US offer to evacuate

GOP politicians may not have acting talent, but telling truth amid a cesspool of lies is a tentative step toward heroism.
