1) We're moving towards Trump involving the Insurrection Act. If he does, Habeas Corpus will be suspended. Trump may well declare it on June 14th, the day of his parade. LA's being deliberately provoked to provide a rationale.

Well-written, succinct, despairing. Read it anyway.

People need models of resistance, of defiance, to organize around, to fuel their own efforts. Dem Senators undermine at every turn.

That makes the Democratic Party irrelevant. If Trump and the GOP aren't derailed long before 2026 elections, those won't matter.

Also a dog freak. Know what a Tibetan terrier is, even know what a Tibetan spaniel looks like. Serious Anglophile, my mother culture. Had a Dalmatian, Vizsla, 6 Dobermans, & a rescue in my life

Alice is the one munching on Leia's shoulder. Mischka, the Malamute trying to decide who to eat.

One way I cope: the morning dog walk with friends & dogs, a society/community that makes a huge difference for everyone in the group (there were 57 of us in the original puppy group)

Feel free to join us. We're within easy walking distance of you. There's a sample below Those 3 are best of friends

1) Musk and his Tech billionaire brethren aren't conservatives, and should never be labeled as such. This is a rare miscalculation by the savvy @davidallengreen.bsky.social .

So, nothing to see here. Trump and Putin have cordially decided to visit each other on each other's home turf.

Really, it's a marvelous thing. For the first time in history a major country has been conquered by a lesser nation without a shot being fired.

....and Canada & Mexico are our enemies.

That's Alice munching on Leia's haunch, while Mischka the Malamute (Alice's best friend) is trying to decide whether she'll eat Leia.

They're all the best of fiends. We've an extraordinary dog community here, and we can have dogs off-leash in Central Park between 9 PM & 9 AM

Try these: Bob's is good, but McCann's is the best.

Be forewarned. These take longer to simmer, but worth the effort. Try cooking with diced apple and raisins. add cinnamon to taste in the bowl.

1) One has to be ancient like me to remember HUAC (House UnAmerican Activities Committee), and things like the Hollywood 10.

Things can go bad really quickly. All 10 served time in Federal prison for refusing to testify before HUAC. No one should be taking......
