Curious about "uncoolidge" - I was born a Coolidge and my birth certificate definitely says Coolidge but I'm one of those folks who did 23andme on a lark and discovered I'm not a genetic Coolidge! (short version - early days of sperm donation when it was a taboo topic).

Yes! Remember Hannah Arendt and the "banality of evil" ... "just following orders" is not an excuse that holds up.

Yes! We need everyone out on the streets, on strike, and boycotting all the enablers, like Amazon. Please people - wean yourselves off Amazon (and other bad corporate actors).

The Drumpf regime can't admit a mistake so will not ask her to leave (nor Hegseth nor Kennedy, nor Patel, etc. etc. etc.) The worst they will do to any of their "leadership" is to move them to another slot, like a pedophile priest.

I agree. So why didn’t Belgium go along with using frozen Russian assets as collateral for a loan to Ukraine?

Clicking through to the NPR piece and the research it is reporting on, one of the clues about falling fertility is essentially people spending more time with screens than with other people. This is also a direct environmental/climate threat because of the data centers.

Interesting that threats to our financial system are considered key to getting conservatives to stand up to Drumpf. Not national guard in our cities, not ICE kidnapping anyone who looks/sounds like a possibly undocumented immigrant, not the murder of a mom or of people in boats.

"the debate often minimizes benefits for the environment and the welfare of women." This is the key question, and while the answer should include "expanding paid parental leave, health insurance and housing subsidies" we need to ensure environmental/climate sustainability first.

Fair point. Also important (if we're going to develop an effective strategy) to recognize that 40% of US adults will see the video and relate to the guy with untreated PTSD from the last time he put himself in harms way unnecessarily who is still given a gun and told to meet the quota.

Yah - the current regime doesn't have much of a track record of asserting the truth. They said the Portland person who was shot was a member of a Venezuelan gang, but that's just their favorite excuse to target brown people.

He's just a malignant narcissistic psychopath. Remember the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? Hitler ripped that up because after a few successful SS blitzkriegs, he thought he could do anything anytime anywhere to anyone and get away with it.

If the police in Uvalde are guilty of failing to do their duty, what about SCOTUS, Congress, big corporations (Silicon Valley, the “Magnificent 7” Wall St, CBS, WaPo, Columbia U., etc.?

One thought that occurs to me (and I haven’t seen it anywhere yet) is the link between (A) the trial of the Uvalde police for abandoning children apparently because they were paralyzed with fear – a whole big group of well-armed police against one bad guy with a gun and ...

I agree but we must be ready for the “insurrection act” and troops in Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philly Pittsburgh Phoenix Baltimore to suppress the vote. We need to be ready to counter that threat (but I don’t know how - haven’t seen a plan and THAT scare me!)
