Literally, everything beneficial for democracy defending Americans has happened because of We, the People, Marc Elias, and his team, as well as the resistance from the leaders of OTHER countries.

Our elected leaders have done nothing.

I felt my heart stir when Representative Green stood up and refused to sit down during the speech last night.

It's time Democrats remember the concept of "good trouble" and stop obeying in advance.

Make them reveal themselves for the monsters they are.

Above the Law We forget January 6th at our peril

Donald has gotten away with one of the greatest crimes against America. Despite the disastrous failures of Republicans, Merrick Garland, and SCOTUS, we must remember those who suffered on Jan 6 and continue to fight for justice—for them and our democracy.

Let’s see if this improves my mood

Republicans on the House Ethics Committee now being spoken of in major media as akin to ancient Greeks confronting the Gordian Knot are in fact faced with the easiest moral dilemma any God—Greek or otherwise—has ever placed before humankind: do I engage in a conspiracy to cover up pedophilia or nah?

Peaceful is most welcome!

What a fine idea!

Cyber-Security Experts Warn Election Was Hacked 'Musk is guilty as fuck'

What's happening in the sky above Stonehenge? A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertical through the image center. The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge. Although the Perseids peaked last night, some Perseid meteors should still be visible for a few more nights. Image Credit & Copyright: Josh Dury

A meteor shower

The trauma obliterated their mention.

Could they please leak it, for the love of decency?

because nothing says 'I'm innocent of all charges' more than 'please don't release the report on me'

So the House would release the Ethics report on Gaetz if he was still a Member, but since he’s been nominated to be the chief law enforcement officer for the US with control of every federal law enforcement agency, investigation, and case, they will hide the report. Makes sense.

One of the things that angers me most about the Trump era is that none of what he or his party are doing is deemed precedent. Meaning: if any future Democratic Congress or POTUS does even 0.1% of what Trumpism has done, you’ll be able to hear media and the GOP howling from Mars.

And we all know it.

An example of Acción Ortográfica Quito doing the Lord's work (graffiti on a wall corrected with red spray paint)

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

So is mine. Should I just get up and reorganize the pantry at 2:00 AM, or stare at the ceiling for hours, imagining the worst he’ll inspire?

Mike Johnson is begging people on the House Ethics Committee not to release the report on Matt Gaetz.

DO IT!

Terrific!
Before fireblight killed their favorite cotoneaster, they’d mob the tree in waves, until all the berries were gone. I loved watching that free-for-all.

Anything goes.

Elon Musk Puts His Imprint on the Trump Transition at Mar-a-Lago He’s on the patio. He’s on the golf course. Everywhere Donald Trump looks, there is the world’s richest man.

Let me state this is bluntly as I can, as a biographer of both Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Vladimir Putin is now inside the U.S. government, with visibility into absolutely everything. He has that access through Trump, Musk, and David Sacks.

We are fully infiltrated. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/13/u...

OF COURSE!!! Tulsi Gabbard was named Director of National Intelligence (DNI) by TRUMP.

A russian asset. What could go wrong!

How do you plan for anything once you realize it’s your pilot that is the terrorist?

Watching YouTube histories re. various rounds of the plague through the ages, and what it did to the body and society makes me grateful at least that has been mitigated.

Thank you. I’ve felt completely crushed for the first time since my father died, two decades ago. Approaching 3 AM insomnia. Must go walking at first light. Cheers.
