Reading Hanna Reichel’s little book (For Such a Time as This—An Emergency Devotional). The line that pierced me: “But all of us must keep living despite what feels like the end of a world.”

There IS continuity here—the US has had these “worse” angels 4ever. AND it feels like the world I knew ended

Good for a laugh

Agreed! Fantastic and fully rational work by the judge

I’m in college again, and I am doing a course overload, but I’ve forgotten to attend my literature class. I’ve done no reading. I didn’t even need it, but now it’s going to tank my grades and maybe kill my scholarship.

Wow. Would that more would be able to say this!

A great list here

Thank you for sharing it. I’ve read the number 32 for those who’ve died in detainment, so this seems like it would match

Thank you for this. Did you assemble the list? I had been wondering where I could find all their names in one place

Me and my kids love these pics

Statement from Speaker of the House TIp O'Neil. Jr, October 19, 1983. Martin Luther King will now be honored on two days; one in January; the other on election day when the millions of black Americans exercise their right to vote - a right that Dr. King loved and championed"

In 1983, Congress established MLK Jr. Day as a federal holiday. Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil supported the bill and its implementation, stating that Dr. King would be honored on 2 days, "one in January; the other on election day, when the millions of black Americans exercise their right to vote."

A natural landscape of sea, sky, and coastal California hills

A lovely view before sunset on the NorCal coast (US). Got to go for a hike in this beauty today. Tomorrow back to some work on things the parents need while my mom’s rehabbing from a recent hospitalization.
Things get hard when they’re aging 🙁

This leaked portion of the cancelled 60 min segment confirms the human rights abuses planned for by Noem, Trump, and the rest of this regime of evildoing

There are heroes among us
Even now.
Thank you to this lawyer

Reviewing student exam monitoring today while I do a couple question regrades (on canvas). The ones who are chewing gum are really giving my misophonia a treat 🙃

You were so great on this episode! Thanks for your work and for making fruits of your research publicly available!

Um, no.
Lying again, Mikey? If only their pants would really combust spontaneously when they do this

I can’t really decide among all the very important issues that concern me right now.
But this one is really worrying me. If half of us are disenfranchised, where does this country go?
But we wouldn’t take this lying down

Trump will die before the full realization of American fascism is reached. These are the birth pangs. It will get so much worse unless we do something. We should and we must.

Take stock of what this feels like, how unacceptable this is. Devote yourself to fighting it.
