Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust. We cannot fail to try.

Trump's parade was a pretty good reflection of Trump--lethargic, sloppy, ill-conceived, menacing intent, wasteful, generating zero enthusiasm and less support than many professional pundits expected.

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

What the MSM isn't saying about the Christian nationalist who methodically assassinated a Democratic lawmaker and her husband. Including how he was able to impersonate a cop. This is how pro-life Republicans are.

In the former place, I posted one of my favorite Robert Hayden poems every Father’s Day. I’ll start it again here. For those with hard-working Dads from a certain era, when words were few and when the chasm between fathers and children seemed endless. #HappyFathersDay

Whenever I'm in Asheville, I try to stop at Downtown Books & News. Somebody on their staff seems to be very interested in architecture and urban planning and built environment theory, and they tend to have an unexpected mix of books in that topic area at any given time.

MAGAts don't want to believe the Minnesota assassin was a conservative, but all the people helping him evade capture are definitely conservatives.

If the 5 million number is accurate that means one in every 70 people in this country was on the streets today.

If she really wanted, could Lora help Sarah Jane get started in show business? Without covering up her identity? And, would Lora have the guts? #ImitationOfLife #tcmparty

In many ways, this is the cruelest scene in all of #ImitationOfLife. And he knows she’s dying, she knows she has lost Sarah Jane, and she’s forced to listen to Susie prattle on. #TCMParty

I have to speak in general terms but I have direct knowledge of senior enlisted - most certainly not Democrats - going to their CO and saying they can't work for the XO because he won't shut up about politics. Bad for cohesion, they said. The CO succeeded in getting the XO sent to Siberia.

“You lie down for awhile. We’ll take care of you, for a change.” Then, Lora leaves a visibly feeble Annie to go up the winding stairs by herself. #ImitationOfLife #tcmparty

The @washingtonpost.com clearly attended a different parade. This kind of erroneous reporting deserves special derision.

It’s the moment when Sirk reveals that there’s another story he hasn’t paid attention to. The message to white America is profound. #ImitationOfLife #tcmparty

I somehow manage to forget that the white characters talk openly about the emptiness of their lives, or that Lora’s dramatic triumph is a play addressing race relations. Maybe because it’s all swamped, intentionally, by the melodrama. #ImitationOfLife #tcmparty

There was more energy in the smallest No Kings event in the smallest hamlet in the most remote part of America than at Trump's parade (with apologies to the Army which deserves the celebration).
