I am a Democrat so I’m not a conservative quack. I’m 75 years old and disabled. I have a twin sister and I am living with my older daughter who lives in Vermont.

Converted the money I saved by cancelling my D+/Hulu/ESPN bundle into a shiny, new, PBS Passport subscription!

Holy crapola, there are a LOT of available shows! 🤗 If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen with Julia Child.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

Book cover of the book "How Fascism Works" by Jason Stanley

Book cover of the book "How Fascism Works" by Jason Stanley

Seems very timely

"What normalization does is transform the morally extraordinary into the ordinary. It makes us able to tolerate what was once intolerable by making it seem as if this is the way things have always been."

How did assaults on science become the norm — and what can we do? An insightful book explores attacks on science from a historical and a personal perspective.

"The ‘five Ps’ — that threaten science & scientists: plutocrats, petrostates, pros (specialists who use their credentials to promote disingenuous, and lucrative, contrarian views), propagandists and the press"

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away.

We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”
