Listen to this story: Trump, a fraudster, has pardoned another fraudster.

The corruption continues...

Mashed potatoes are a comfort food in my family. They're as much a part of Thanksgiving dinner as turkey is. We argue over cranberry sauce (I'm 100% FOR it) but we all agree on mashed potatoes. But if you want just turkey and pumpkin pie, you do you! πŸ˜„

Comet Lemmon and the Milky Way apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25112...
What did Comet Lemmon look like when it was at its best? One example is pictured here, featuring three celestial spectacles all at different distances. The closest spectacle is the snowcapped Meili Mountains of the Himalayas in China.

Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

In this tough and moving essay, Caroline Kennedy's 35-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals that she is terminally ill with leukemia. She has some choice words about how her cousin Bobby has made the limited time she has left worse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Felt it here between Soldotna and Kenai. Looked it up - there were two earthquakes about 2 minutes apart, first was a M4.9, second was a M5.0. They were in the same basic area near Beluga.

Does not want to, but is willing to.

We do have traitors in government, but none of them were in the video encouraging military people to follow the law.

Getting news by email from Democracy Docket is fantastic. I chose the paid plan and feel the $11/month I pay is a small way to support the fight for our democracy. I hope others consider doing the same. Marc and his crew are doing what most of us can't do, but we CAN support them!

Past is prologue.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.

And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.

This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

A woman who claimed she was brutally assaulted because she worked for GOP Rep.

Part of me says "yay, that is so great!" and another part remembers the cute little muskrat that we rehabbed when I was working for a wildlife rehab vet. πŸ˜„ But I grew up on wild game (first solid food was caribou) and living off the land is a valuable learning experience. So YAY!!

Ivana Trump's story in her book that she walked back later (guess why) has him screaming abuse at her, blaming her for his bad hair transplant, violently pulling her hair and otherwise assaulting her, including sexually.

it's been out there for years. long before 2016 I think. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

He's SO defensive. It's his friendship with Epstein, as evidenced by the emails, that would be asked about. Just because he's a journalist doesn't mean he should be able to hide behind that when it comes to a personal relationship.

Just heard a loud noise out on my deck. It sounded like someone had thrown a large chunk of ice at the cabin.

Note for next year: make sure to bring in ALL cans of pop that are stored on the deck in the summer. Aluminum cans of ginger ale in 17Β°F temps never works out well. 🀦 πŸ˜‚

There's an ad that keeps coming up in the online games I play and it shreds Sullivan. Points put some very blunt truths. I hope it gets seen by the people who need to understand fact from fiction.

SOME Americans voted these guys in.

And to be honest, it's extremely possible that there was manipulation of the voting machines. Trump himself has said "they rigged the election and I won."

So please be careful making generalities. Disgust for the current regime is alive and growing.
