A couple evenings on Charleston Harbor. Light breeze Saturday; windy enough Sunday to warrant a double reef. 💨
A horrifyingly symbolic image: the demolition of democracy and moral leadership.

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

It’s the Wild West out there. Every man for himself.
Ugh, so we can’t rely on NBC, CBS, NPR, NYT, LAT, WaPo…

It’s frightening that we are losing so many news sources just when we need honest, critical news more than ever.
At what point will it be OK to use the phrase “basket of deplorables”?

The Trump regime has enough evidence to justify murdering these people but not enough to bring any legal charges against them when given an opportunity to do so? Interesting confession.

Wow.
Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.
