Sh*t's goin' down in Boston, and the Devil deals the cards. In the pocket of Big Dame. Wo aber Gefahr ist, wächst das Rettende auch.

I'm telling myself this is the bit where it looks as if all is lost but the heroes persevere.

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.
This is another one of my Mom's jokes; she's the funny one who should be online.
Boston had Head of the Charles this weekend but Britain had HEAD of the CHARLES if you know what I mean!

They were killing kings before it was cool!
The UK kicked off the whole "killing the king" thing; give credit where it's due!

All the retirees in LL Bean quarter zips today basically had the "Mussolini hanging upside down dot jpeg" mindset.
This is about the OpenAI guy stealing other people's art to train his robots:

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn
We can break their haughty power gain our freedom when we learn
That the Union makes us strong
My Mom & the other women protesting were discussing the people who have driven their cars into protesters & they were...not frightened but *aware* of it but it didn't stop them!
I know the G-d stuff is a dealbreaker for many & I respect that but "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" goes incredibly hard (a guy & I sang a bit of it today).

I wish protests had singing sections. Also had I the skills I would set a video of No Kings footage to this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Xz...

"If all we have before us is the struggle, then we will learn to love the struggle, the way a weightlifter loves to pick up heavier & heavier things because it means she'll increase her gains. We must become Happy Warriors."
"It's great that there are a lot of us & we're fired up but this is going to take so much work and time to fix."
You know how in "Space Case" he wants to go trick-or-treating every night? I sort of want to stand in the center of town with a placard in favor of a worthy cause every Saturday.

"Literacy is not a luxury! Return to phonics! Fund & staff our public schools!"

"Volunteer at a retirement home!"

People dunk on adults who are still into Star Wars or "Wicked" or Muppets but imagine your Thing being Donald Trump?

The people with a room full of Funko Pops or a "War and Peace"-length "Gummi Bears" fanfic on AO3 can hold up their heads with pride; at least they're not devoted to a game show host
I feel silly to be this tired from just standing & chanting & holding a sign for three hours; but we went & we also signed a petition for same-day voter registration.

A lot of supportive honking & waving; some dudes revving their engines angrily; a couple of twerps on bikes.
My good? Crowned with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.
My Mom loves the new Helen Oxenbury/Michael Rosen book called "Look What I Got!" so she's been going around saying

"I went to the polls to let freedom ring.
What did I get? They gave me a king!
Oh, dear! Look what I got!
Do I want that? No, I do not!"
I am offering people Edward Gorey artwork & lunch at a place called The Sea Hag; what's not to like?
Trying to send a non-Charlotte Bartlett invitation to birthday stuff, i.e. operate from a position of "This person actually does like you & would enjoy spending time with you."
A) Eisenhower is one man I will freely & without reservation own to be smarter than I am.
B) It feels as if I can't delegate *anything* because I may not be as bright as the guy who planned D-Day but in many situations I'm the only person paying attention!
