I like being able to make every chapter a separate document. I can switch back and forth within the same app. Also, makes it easy to keep and organize notes, research material, graphics, etc. FWIW.

Q: Can Mike Johnson be sued for closing down the House & failing to swear in Grijalva?
A: No, it's a political thing. He looks bad, and he can't put it off forever

This is an open attack on our First Amendment rights
This is what the RW does, they make up accusations, even though they're the one who are violent.
Because this is a threat to their regime.
We understand the risks, We are not backing down.

Q: If the Regime is talking about the Insurrection Act, should we be talking about a general strike?
A: we've talked about this before, but it takes a LOT of prep work

When Fox News lies, people die | We explain on PBS Newshour how the antiscience disinformation spread by the Murdoch media empire and especially Fox News, likely lead to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. And that's just COVID-19. Their fossil fuel disinformation is as deadly.

They're really on-message for this stochastic terrorism.

Near-identical phrasing every time.

In light of rising coffee prices I have taken to using the single-cup filter twice.

I can get a second half-decent half-cup of coffee that way.

I call that second half-decent half-cup Donald’s Cup.

Portland: not on fire.
Seattle: not on fire.
Chicago: not on fire.
New York: not on fire.
House of judge who ruled against Trump: burned down.

Gulf of Mexico. Department of Defense. Rule of law. No secret police.

This morning I protested ICE fascism in Broadview, IL, where police threatened to arrest us for showing up before 9am.

We were well behind ICE's illegal fence (that is still up despite a Federal Judge ruling it is illegal) and police still forced us further back.

I firmly believe every Republican should spend all day on TV talking about how next weekend there are going to be massive protests against their deeply unpopular president, I think this will be good for them to do

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

We are so far removed from those early days that many forget the inventors of these characters were antifascist. Invested in equality. Not because they wanted to be, but because they HAD to be for survival. If bigots declare your identity to be that of a criminal or vermin, you must defend yourself.

It's World Mental Health day today.

Lately, I've been having a major ongoing wobble that almost got seriously bad the other night.

I have general anxiety disorder and was diagnosed with depression as a teenager. Therapy helps. Talking helps.

I poured my experience into a book I have on submission
