Started watching The West Wing on Netflix because, even though I know it to be true because I lived it, I need to be assured that the Executive Branch actually functioned well at some point.

As the good Sister Mary Hugh taught me, Jesus will return when we all become Jesus.

These people are morons.

To truly understand just how far we’ve fallen..watch Ken Burn’s “The American Revolution.”

Dogs with those ears will never disappoint. My foster, Limon.

His/her brother from another mother, Limón, says, “Cheers!”

A suggestion from Limón, my foster dog:
Boycott Amazon, Home Depot, and Target on Black Friday and instead visit your local animal shelter and adopt or foster a pet. So much better than buying stuff you don’t need that doesn’t cuddle up with you and keep you warm.

He is Christ the King. How will we serve him? He answers in a whisper, “I am the hungry person on line at the food pantry; I am the abused child; I am the convict in a prison cell; I am those living in fear. These are the faces you are to serve. They are mine! Remember them as I remember you!”

Man, I did not have this on my bingo card. But hell yeah.

While watching Ken Burns’ The American Revolution, I have become a fangirl of Thomas Paine.

Sometimes you feel like you’ve were born into the wrong generation.

The American Revolution from Ken Burns on PBS.

Watch it. Now.

Steve Bannon advised Jeffrey Epstein for years on how to rehab his reputation, texts show Pair devised responses to public outrage about Epstein’s criminal history, his treatment by the justice system, and his friendships with powerful people

There really was, and is, a cabal of elite, wealthy men making sure they all have access to young girls. Girls, and people in general, are just objects to be enjoyed and then discarded.

Let the MAGA mental gymnastics begin.

Every accusation is a confession with these folks.

History says we’re doomed.

From “Goliath’s Curse” by Luke Kemp:
—An oligarchy with smaller, more homogeneous groups of elites who are cushioned from shocks is more likely to make bad decisions and delay necessary change…As societies grow more unequal and extractive, decision-making becomes worse.”

A much needed dose of happiness in my life right now: my new foster Limon.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

In 1776, Thomas Paine Made the Best Case for Fighting Kings | If you plan on joining 'No Kings' rallies and have yet to find a slogan for your sign, Paine’s got you covered: “In America, the law is king!” “No King! No Tyranny!” “Monarchy hath poisoned the republic.” READ: tinyurl.com/y3y2kj9y

🧵 After months of planning and deliberation, Stellantis has announced a historic investment in U.S. manufacturing. In a major victory for UAW members and working-class people across the Midwest, Stellantis shared that it will create 5,000 new UAW jobs over the next 4 years, with 3 new products.

Governor JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) joined Innovative Rail Technologies (IRT) and Motive Power Resources, Inc. (MPR) to celebrate the commissioning of their latest zero-emission, battery electric locomotive.

Another leap forward for electrification in Illinois.

Innovative Rail Technologies and Motive Power Resources are unveiling the latest in zero-emission, battery-electric locomotive tech.

This is an important part of the future of rail — that future is being built right here.

‘These men think they’ve done nothing wrong’: the philosopher who tried to understand Gisèle Pelicot’s rapists When 50 men went on trial in France, accused of raping a woman who had been drugged by her husband, Manon Garcia was in the courtroom – and in the prosecutors’ closing arguments. How does she make sen...

Please recommend this important work to your local library for purchase.

Garcia’s work is as relevant to 21st-Century women as Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem was for 20th-Century Jews.

‘Cosy and comforting’: why The Fellowship of the Ring is my feelgood movie The ongoing series of writers paying tribute to their easiest rewatches continues with an arduous yet immensely satisfying journey

I have to agree.

To bring this into context for today: AI is our One Ring threat.

Americans would do well to emulate her resilience.

Never give up. Never give in.

Her group has given a roadmap for US citizens how to protect democracy and elections.

This reminds of when my Polish aunt came to visit my dad here in the US in 1976. When she went grocery shopping with us, she was convinced that all the meat and other food was only put there for her (from a Communist country with little access to quality food) to see.

Delusional.

If civil war breaks out, meet me at the library.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

This is why I love Chicago so much. Their “we will fuck with you” reserves are BOTTOMLESS.
