Trying to increase my US history - and having grown up surrounded by Black Loyalists and now living where the formation of the republic is constantly celebrated - the question of who was pro British and why is always there. Through this book I learned the answer.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The “marsh” where was walking was land given to black loyalists. The elementary school we went once had separate bathrooms for blacks and whites. The pics and the names have me thinking about the time then (1975-81) and there was a lot of racism.

Since her sister was in my class in elementary school and I remember the victim as a smiling, happy little sister - and 45 year later these pictures show the same smile. (1/2)

Remember all the anger against the 9/11 hijackers for "using our freedoms against us?"

Where is that anger for the Broligarchs, like Thiel & Musk, who also used our freedoms to destroy the US--immigrating here, getting rich on tax $ (esp fed contracts), then blowing up democracy from the inside?

This Hour has 22 Minutes (IYKYK)

Cartography, the Soviet H-bomb, Dutch exploration - all somehow woven together in a way that makes you want to keep reading.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Abolish the Republican Party.

Like every Canadian woman in the late 1980’s I was an Atwood fan girl in undergrad. I loved the stories her woodsy childhood, the birth of the CanLit scene (I am still a big reader of it), and the description of how people and events ended up in her writing. Also a moving love story.

I am drinking Molson Canadian (no boycott) and it is “Hockey is for Everyone” night at the Bruins game (a lot of cheering for the Boston Pride player). I love Massachusetts but we are still here in the USA.

Abolish, redefine, rename. Like the NKVD to the KGB post Stalin.

Is there a version for Drabble

Started on Xmas day (a great gift) and just finished this almost 1100 page opus. I learned so much and enjoyed immensely. My family are thorough sick of hearing about everything happening through the lens of this book.

Novice “Lincoln-Douglas” debate. Big Lex is a tournament in Lexington with attendees from multiple states.

At times like this you need to live for the little things - and the Pats are in the AFC championship and my daughter won NLD at Big Lex.

At 42 is the meaning of life! Happy Birthday!

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

The instrument isn’t working again.

The flag of Nova Scotia, Canada. It features a blue saltire (diagonal cross) on a white field, with a centered yellow shield bordered in red, containing a red royal lion rampant within a red double tressure flory-counter-flory.

Nova Scotia:

First flown in the late-19th century, it was the first flag in the overseas Commonwealth to be approved by Royal Charter, and it is the oldest provincial flag in Canada. It was not officially adopted as the provincial flag until 2013.

Adopted as a 1yo year old during pandemic (sight unseen) from Forever Home Rescue New England. Dogs are a family member and require time and a leap of faith. Just do it! It will not be perfect, will take work and love (family). Zac George’s foster series can help push you to yes.
