Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

Upstate S.C., who needs a new feline family member?
It’s super hard for me to share this because I loathe being in the spotlight, but I am trying to put myself out there more for the kitties!
Halle Berry kept me calm though. You didn’t see it but she gave me lots of face kisses before filming began.

Today at 6 pm, a firing squad is scheduled to kill Brad Sigmon. He was sentenced to death for the 2001 murder of Gladys and David Larke.
We oppose the death penalty in all cases. It is an arbitrarily applied tool of cruel and unusual punishment, and it fails as a deterrent to violent crime.
