I'm upset by all that is about to take place. And I am not doing well.

There is no living peacefully with people who live and love to make you dead.

Thought for a Sunday morning.
"The only way to do it is to do a French Revolution on them."

People of good hearts and minds will twist and turn away, unthinkable, unable to accept that this may be the only realistic path. Sadly, it is the only effective path when confronted with cruelty as this.

We've arrived at that point along the authoritarian timeline where the least helpful amongst us still believe we'll have free and fair elections so Democrats can win, indict, convict and incarcerate Republicans.

Most philosophical culture agrees self-knowledge is the path to human happiness. Joni wrote and Crosby Stills sang "And I don't know who I am but life is for learning." Indeed, many rivers to cross.

Facts are objective but truth is subjective.
As you evolve, so will your truth.

Mamdani gets it. Trans rights are human rights.
I'm not interested in negotiating human rights.

I'd rather just launch a nationwide effort to suffocate them in their beds but, y'know, so politically incorrect. Can't have that.

I was engaged to a girl with a wooden leg but we broke it off.

Oh, they know what they are doing. They are counting on MAGA not understanding and being impressed by a wild percentage like that. It's all Fascist theatre.

170 billion in just a year is about 1.5 times the $109b American WINE industry. Not liquor. Not beer. Just our WINE x 1.5.

Get a grip.

#votebluenomatterwho because every GOP at the moment has so little integrity it can be packed into a thimble with enough room left over for Pam Bondi's ethics. Choosing among blue is something else entirely.

I know so many wonderful people in Los Angeles, Renée. Why be so uncharacteristically curt?

She has a very good heart. I met her after she spoke at Melissa Mark-Viverito's swearing in for City Council. Tish just blasted stop-and-frisk and reminded the auditorium she was "not a well behaved woman." lol
Loved her from that moment on.

I loved her in the Bronx. When she was happy she beamed, and when she was angry she radiated.

The decline of edu institutions and literacy diminished intellectual life compared to the Roman period.

The loss of economic integration led to shortages of goods and specialized labor.

The formation of new kingdoms with different traditions led to turmoil and loss of existing infrastructure.

Been reading up on the Dark Ages. Similar reasons. All the same outcomes. History is like Joni Mitchell's Circle Game. It's worth a search. Here's three similarities to start.

I may have. I shopped them a bunch back in the day when I was doing projects over there. After the EU formed in '93 shipping across the continent became a snap. Your quality is comparable and reminds me. Thanks for posting. :-)

Well said and all true.
I'd like to hear from someone with a realistic vision that retakes power from a heavily armed 1/3rd of this nation and takes the very people they would gladly die for into custody to investigate and indict, convict and incarcerate, all without firing a shot. I do not see it.

Indeed.
