The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

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.

Huge bullfrog. Rare to see them here anymore (eastern CT).
Growing up many decades ago, they were everywhere. This one hopefully getting ready to hibernate. Very dry here, so found swimming pool for a late season dip.

I sat in the woods early this morning, watching and listening to a Red-Bellied Woodpecker. It's moments like this...that help me keep my stress hormones somewhat balanced. That woodpecker knew nothing about what Trump threatens. It was focused on what was in front of it: the tree it was clinging to.

The fact that Carroll O'Connor was the total opposite from his Archie Bunker character, he was a Liberal and he believed in equality. What he did in playing Archie Bunker was expose America to its own racism.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
