No surprise. Part of the plan. Do I sound like a conspiracy theorist? 😉

I question the validity of this post. Here is her actual testimony from 2 days ago...https://www.npr.org/2025/03/26/g-s1-56004/statement-of-katherine-maher-president-and-ceo-national-public-radio

They're not nearly upset enough. No sympathy or empathy. Sorry. Not sorry.

My best friend and her husband, also a best friend, are contemplating leaving the US. They have the means to do so. I probably could do a "cut and run", but I just don't want to give up on the notion that our democratic republic will survive. Idealism can be a burden.

I think $$$ makes a greater impact, but marching can't hurt. We've proven the power of small donations. Both together.

I commented earlier that Nikita Khruschev wasn't lying in 1956. I was 8 years old and remember it.I had hoped, as I got older and able to better to comprehend his message, that it would not happen. And, now here we are. I do, and will not, abandon hope, but the days are dark, the nights darker.

And the gaslighting of the American people continues. Just heard a retired General of the Army say that he never thought he'd see the day when the US would hesitate to assist and defend an ally being overrun by a super-power. The greed is going to do us in. And, Kruschev wasn't kidding in 1956.

HCR keeps me from despair. As do Ms. Vance, Ms. Craven and Ms. Piper. Love a little Dr. Robert Reich for spice! 😉

All citizens should care about NOAA. Weather touches every aspect of life, particularly in states still heavily engaged in significant agri-business. Heather Cox Richardson suggests we identify the issues important to us as individuals & focus our advocacy efforts there. NOAA is one of mine.

It is heartbreaking. But I understand that the child who has died was a member of an isolated and dispersed Mennonite community. Mennonites' faith apparently doesn't formally oppose immunization as a tenet of their beliefs, yet they are under-vaccinated. How can they be reached?

I met magpies at the Air Force Academy. They are raucous, but I understand that they are very smart.

Thank you for sharing. The tragedy of Uganda is largely forgotten these days.
