I am retired from a very happy career in scholarly publishing, where I made and continue to cherish many friends. I am a lifelong Democrat who supports liberal causes that contribute to the Common Good.
Yet another example of Israel’s utter lawlessness and untrustworthiness. They must be held to account or our foreign journalists will never be safe, and we will never know of the crimes committed by countries like Israel and so many others.

Watch this and weep at all we’ve lost with the election of an ignorant tyrant and his pathetically unqualified Cabinet. Secretary of State Blinken is the quintessential statesman, so intelligent, forward-thinking with a broad, integrated vision of the work order.

First they came for the Communists. . .
Then they came for the Socialists …
Then they came for the trade unionist…
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

CNN host Jim Acosta, on leaving CNN: “One final message: Don’t give into the lies. Don’t give into the fear. Hold onto the truth and to hope. Even if you have to get out your phone, record that message: I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media.”

Been thinking about this cartoon.
For no reason.
Really.
It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.

I am now making an effort to financially support other reliable, fact-based news sources,such as The Guardian, that are not owned by Trump-supporting oligarchs. Please join me!

I start each day with HCR’s Letter. The historical context in which she places the news of the day is surely the best way to understand and find our way through these impossibly difficult times. We are so fortunate that it is free for all.

Leave it to HCR to explain the evil machinations of the NC Republican Party. When will we finally hear this story on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, or even PBS?

In reply to your comment on Facebook regarding my switch to BlueSky: Blue Sky does feel clunky after years of FB. But I hope to get used to it. I will miss news of my dear friends. But I won’t miss the ads or supporting Zuckerberg and his gross prostration to Trump
