English major, but managed to squeeze in:
1. Latin
2. Intro to Archaeology
3. Structure of Cities
4. History & Literature of the Bible
5. 19th-century French literature (in French)

And they turned out in temps in the low teens, with wind chill warnings.

This is so weak. Why just ICE & not CBP? All agents must get out of schools, churches, hospitals. End ICE/CBP "arrests" at courthouses for people following the rules & then take on DOJ for having imm. judges terminate cases just so law-abiding people can be detained & deported. And more...

Stunning. Congratulations.

Vance would do it in a nanosecond. The others would wait until they are sure they can get a less chaotic, but just as evil deal on their domestic agenda. And it's not clear we'd get improved foreign relations; more subtle destruction, perhaps.

Broke my nose in the library when I was in college. Leaned around the carrel to throw something in the trash & whacked my glasses hard on the way back up—literally saw stars. It cracked along an old break line acquired when I tripped going up the gym bleachers at my high school awards assembly.

Add that mail times have been dreadful this December, so may choke at tax & election time. Holiday cards took 11 days; b-day card sent 12/18 hasn't arrived in CA yet. Package sent to me spent 4 days going back & forth between 2 regional centers in the same state before getting on the road to me.

Happy birthday! My gift: life is even better in the 50s.

Scary stuff. But maybe we could do something useful with "we should take America back for our native population." Guess he hasn't thought about what that means for him!

Done!

Plus, unless they change the rules for HSAs, they can be paired only with high-deductible plans that meet IRS rules. So that $1500 wouldn't cover even a small part of the deductible.

The smug crassness about people dying is reason enough to throw all the admin appointees in prison. And, of course, those murderous policies.

Just wow--stunning photo.

Yes! Just because we experience time as linear doesn't mean it is. Could be simultaneous, with ghosts being glimpses into other times. You'll believe in ghosts if you've ever sat on a bench in the central green in Salem, MA. That town is creepy and haunted, even on a sunny summer day.

Signs of fascism: at the London protest, Human Rights Watch organized a series of placards with signs of fascism. Black signs, white letters, with content like using secret police, attacking immigrants, voter suppression, etc.

Sign at London rally: I’m on faux-king vacation and still found time to hate fascism.

Protest signs in London. “I want my beautiful country back.” And a small one with a maple leaf that says “Hands off Canada.”

Rally beginning. Speaker on platform, protestors with signs behind him, embassy building in background.

The crowd is gathering. Two signs visible: no nazis and Make America Read Again.

People gathering for No Tyrants protest at the American Embassy in London. Very modern, and huge, embassy building in the background.

In London on vacation, so have come to the small No Tyrants protest at the American Embassy. Hadn’t started yet, so the crowd could grow.

Yes! And a Prez, VP, AG, etc. who speak with the dignity and respect befitting their offices. I’m appalled—and embarrassed for our country—by the disdain, arrogance, and coarseness they ooze daily.

This a thread about one feature of the Trump Admin's EO regarding the Smithsonian that I haven't seen much explicit discussion of. The stated purpose for reviewing Smithsonian exhibits and collections is to ensure they align with something called "Americanism." That term has a notable genealogy.

Thank you for this important thread. They've definitely gone beyond the dog whistle phase, as you say: openly acting to erase everyone & everything that doesn't fit their vision of the world.

I got mine at a CVS Minute Clinic as soon as I could get an appointment anywhere in the state. I cried with relief. The nurse who gave me the shot teared up & said this was the most important thing she'd done in her 15-year career.

Farthest arrival city; didn’t check local destinations.

I'm glad I live in the blue bubble that is Massachusetts & can count on my senators to do the right thing. I still call & email them...sometimes to urge action, sometimes to thank them.

Glad to know I've been miserable for a verifiable reason!

But at least the Victorianists & word appreciators like moi get to enjoy the renaissance of "miasma," which doesn't get a lot of modern use. The downside is we may also die like Victorians, from diseases and pathogens modern science controlled.
