"Anyone who attempted to behead the Hydra found as soon as one head was cut off, two more heads would emerge.

As Heracles severed each mortal head, Iolaus was set to the task of cauterizing the wounds.

When only the immortal head remained, Heracles cut it off too and buried it under a heavy rock."
January, sorted.

No other agency of the U.S. government has saved more lives per dollar than U.S.A.I.D.—it supplied medicine, food, and staffing for some of the most desperate and vulnerable. A new short documentary shows the impact of its dismantling. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/2a5Jm5

Every four years, a group of Americans threatens to leave the country, but no mass exodus occurs. This time around, though, they seem to be acting on their desires. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
How to Leave the U.S.A.
In the wake of President Trump’s reëlection, the number of aggrieved Americans seeking a new life abroad appears to be rising. The Netherlands offers one way out.

1 Dec: The ‘Christmas Rose’ or ‘Winter Rose’ (Helleborus niger) is one of the birth flowers of #December. An old legend says that when humankind fell from grace and Paradise lay shrouded in snow, the angels carried this bloom to earth as a sign of love and mercy. #Plantlore

Ukrainians truly need this right now — even if as a sign of solidarity. And constant, stubborn solidarity goes a long way.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

If the elites would just stop groveling and jockeying for quarterly gains for a minute and put their country above their leverage, we could roll up this circus in short order. Because it is the Lamest Show on Earth.

"First, ignore billionaires when they threaten to take their marbles and go home. The big money always responds to threats of tax hikes, or even mere verbal criticism, by threatening to go all Ayn Rand and move to Galt’s Gulch. In reality, they won’t even move to Florida." - Paul Krugman

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Don't break ranks! Don't capitulate to GOP demands for a "promise." Hold the line! Make them negotiate! If you give in, you lose again. The people are with you. Don't squander our goodwill!
