Friday, January 23 is a National Day of Solidarity and push for corporate accountability, led by Minnesota organizers and national allies.

It’s a great day to take a sick day and smoke a jay. Non-violent protest takes many forms.

He’s using Venezuela as a distraction so we’ll forget about the Epstein files.

Joke’s on him. We can multitask.

Release the Epstein files.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”

In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon.

For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.
All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.

Sit and Talk - sexual predators of children and those who know about it, tolerate it and do nothing to stop it - should be put out of office and transferred to a jail cell - at the very least they should not be our chief executive - youtu.be/-vEi6eSFhSw?...

With the Epstein case, we either end up in a world where pedophilia, sexual assault of children, and human trafficking are endorsed by the United States of America, or we hold every single person involved in these heinous crimes accountable. It appears the Trump regime is trying hard for the former.

So now we are going to bomb Venezuela (more) to distract from the fact that Trump is in the Epstein files?

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake.

I voted NO.

This chimes with what I remember and experience of Ohio, right down to themes of and anecdotes about local news and social mobility that I tried to handle in "On Freedom." The essay is wonderful and I am liking forward to reading "Paper Girl."

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.
