Wishing a happy sixty-third birthday to someone who can't get past her hurt and childish jealousy to love me. Maybe this year will bring you the joy you deserve and the peace you seek.
Your baby sister will always be ready for a relationship, should you choose to try. Love you!

Please consider signing this petition in support of our school board president. She is being vilified for saying that her initial reaction was unkind, and then she read a post by Qasim Rashid and shifted her opinion to a more mature and empathetic place. chng.it/FGKCZTPDH9

And the blossoms and the flowers in the merry month of May—
But the early Autumn splendor, with its sweet September days,
Eclipses boasted Springtime in a thousand kind of ways!"

Christian Nationalists-- What happens to your faith if your nation fails? Is your Christ weak if the market fluctuates? What if a court decides against your wishes? Does Christ lose when you've tied your politics to your faith?
Colbert on Christian nationalism: “This is not a Catholic nation because the Catholic Church is not about nations.”

What better way to observe the end of slavery than a rich old white man yelling to work harder.

I know you can't see it, but whatever you're waiting for, hoping for, or praying for is right around the bend.

Prairie trillium was a stunning sight to see this morning in the bright sunshine peeking through the tree canopy in the quiet woods. Fun little fungi in there, too.

Wondering why Emily Feiner was dragged out of Mike Lawler’s town hall by NY State Troopers?
She had the *audacity* to ask, “What’s your red line? When will you defend the Constitution you swore to uphold?” One question & she’s accosted.
Free speech?
Not under Lawler.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Who indeed? Why do so many who helped create, feed, and nurture this particular monster/administration look like this when the corpusculent creature does something reprehensible?

So many good people ran for office in the Consolidated Elections, and many (but not all) of them won their races. Congrats for stepping up and putting yourself forward, no matter the outcome! Win or lose, we're all better off when YOU are a part of our community!

Saw a random human struggling with a mattress and a moving truck. Got out of our car to offer to help, and managed to scare the crud out of a soldier. Spouse says it's the liberal in me that scared the poor kid.

What's it called when you destroy documents that are required by law to be turned over to NARA (and to the courts in case of lawsuits) (oh, and to anyone who FOIAs those records) without following established protocol and legal procedures?

The cover-up…
USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”
