I voted for a republican once, early seventies.

- Our president is hard at work ordering up a Christopher Columbus statue.
- I'm feeling mildly anxious, unusual for me, as I have the world by the ass. I feel for those less fortunately situated. Think of judo, using the foe's weight and movement against him; Ali's rope-a-dope is another analogy. Remember to rest, be loudly patient and go at it again when you're ready.
- Republicans, there's another reason that I say, "It's time for you to act". These prison camps will be abolished after the next election and it will be expensive. You'll be remembered for yet another failure, not just moral, but fiscal. Not very Republican of you.
- So "unreasonable searches and seizures" isn't a thing anymore and states don't get to run their own elections...Republicans, is there any part of the constitution the fat, dis-regulated brat in the White House CAN'T ignore? Republicans, this is what you'll be remembered for.
- If anyone has information on where Minneapolis ICE personnel are headed right now, please post it. People in nearby towns want to be ready.
- Republicans. It's time for that conversation, and you know it. He's not getting better, he's getting worse. Sooner will be easier that later, both for you and for the rest of the world. What do you want to be remembered for?
- For those new to Trump's financial past, David Cay Johnston is someone who has the goods, 35+ years of it.
- Big judicial win for us and Haitian immigrants...Dr. Timothy Snyder called it ahead of time and deserves credit (and your following/listening/reading). He is a credible source; one you can take to the bank.
- Opinion: People with good, democratic intent disparaging Democratic leaders for lack of effectiveness is not helpful. Truth is, we've seen craziness before, but never at this level. Heavily armed, masked people attacking civilians (then attacking folks who have cameras) wasn't dreamed of, ever here.
- Trump's closing the Kennedy Center. LOTS of thoughts about it, but my key takeaway is that BDS works. Circulate your money with those who share your values and morals. Economic action is THE weapon of our time. The rich will notice; the bad rich will soil themselves in frustration. What good fun!
