Hang in there.

Sick, well, old, young, healthy, unhealthy—-all people deserve our respect and our protections, perhaps even more so for those who aren't able to help themselves.
Or at least that’s true in a civilized, humane society.

The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys. Top of my playlist now, always.

Fear of the cities = fear of progressives/democrats = whatever is good for cities is bad for rural folks and vice versa. Sold for decades by far right media.
I have relatives so frightened of the city they won’t visit, and only take vacations that include “safe” packaged tours or they don’t go.

Your sincerity about fighting Trump and this admin comes through clearly.
But if elected, you’ll also be voting on policy. Your positions on some basic issues aren‘t so clear.

He’s too dull to realize that those who actually do have a low IQ are probably better and more insightful people than he ever was or will be.

The whole album *****

What strikes me is the lack of any surprise or wonder from either Morgan or Wilson’s as Ali ticks through the list of crimes and atrocities committed.
They know.

More more more of those Gregorian chants.

If he doesn’t have it investigated, it can be about whatever he says it is.
No messy facts or truth to get in the way.

He could blurt out what he really thinks of his base—chumps, losers, means to an end.

Absolutely. Attendance provides cover and a veneer of normalcy for a corrupt and probably treasonous administration currently waging an illegal war in our country’s name.
Serious journalists will not go.

Trying for good and failing sometimes is different than residing in the sewers of our darkest impulses and encouraging that in others, too.

Head down. One step, one step.

Could heal all of us. Maybe even a President.

More photos of wildlife crossings in comments. Great idea!

And the people bowed and prayed…

Responsible yes. But it needs an agreed upon definition—to who? For what?
Also standards and regulations are necessary. And immediate accountability when violating.
We seem to have little to none of this.

Devastating.

Well, obviously. Depends on your definition of ”cool”.
I’d say cool = more full of others than one’s own shit.

If responsibility for cleaning it up isn’t part of the settlement, this isn’t enough.

I like how they are assuming Trump will keep his word on that. Or live long enough to hand them out.
Hope is doing a lot of work in Trump land.

Add Chris Murphy

Her artistic fearlessness was apparently matched as an operative.
The OG on all fronts.

Glad you pointed out the “crazy like a Fox‘ argument from those who support him as being “without evidence to back it up.“

And I definitely agree that Baker, in the NYT, should have discussed the acceleration of his unabashed amorality as signs of his serious mental decline.

Yes! This is why right wing “humor” is so vapid and unfunny. It’s always about the “other”, amusing only to those who want to let loose on someone else.
They have no concept of self-deprecation and cant see the humor in our common foibles.

András Schiff - Schubert - Hungarian Melody in B minor, D 817 YouTube video by Classical Vault 1

Schubert's Hungarian Melody, played by Andras Schiff, who has been refusing to return to his native Hungary under Orban (out of principle, and also b/c pro-regime elements were threatening to break his hands if he returned).

Heading across the Liberty Bridge with my fellow Hungarians, crossing the Danube straight back to where this nation belongs, smack dab in the heart of Europe 🇪🇺!

The Hungarian nation is free! 🔥

🙏🏼🇭🇺🕊️

#Hungary

Folks, the Hungarians just ousted Orban after he spent a decade and a half consolidating power. The odds the Hungarian resistance faced were far worse than what we’re facing in the US. Like abolitionists and civil rights activists have learned here, everything seems impossible until it isn’t.
