Teddy Roosevelt said/wrote... (Seen at the Teddy Roosevelt Birthplace Museum in Manhattan):
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree which he himself stands by the country.

It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else."

“Manufacturing a good enemy is the best way to stay in power” Less than 2% of people, being sacrificed for fear monger fodder. It’s hard enough to be a doctor, they shouldn’t need bravery too.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.”

Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.
Those of us who work in gender medicine are not going anywhere
What’s more, we’re expanding.

That kind of cranky where you feel it behind your eyes, no reason, just not fit for human interaction.

Unexpected bonus of taking my 16 year old out for dinner is she pretty much never remembers to eat her leftovers.
