Why do the headlines read like, “US and Russia agree to ‘lay the groundwork’ for ending Ukraine war,” instead of more, “Invading country and ally decide fate of third country without giving it any voice in the process; ally pressures third country for wealth.”

In troubling times, people experiencing high stress or crippling anxiety deal with it in different ways. Some have a therapist, some have a deep breathing exercise & some even have a personal mantra. I have a Mabel.

Nobody remembers Chamberlain with fondness. Appeasement is poor politics.

You’ll notice reporting “name is wrong” has been disabled for the Gulf of Mexico in Apple Maps. However, “Something else” still functions and is valid. By changing reality to suit the whim of a minority nationalist, Apple is essentially undermining the knowledge and memories of most of us. —>

Another issue with these changes: say you’re a global company, perhaps offering supply chain/logistics services. Now you have to code different names for different regions? It may not be as simple as it seems for Apple and Google—and what will your international customers think of you?

This is why books - paper ones - are still useful on occasion. (Also, something seems wrong with the video thumbnail below the headline…can’t put my finger on what…)

This is the February Fundraiser Thread. Next to the normal bills, travel costs, medications, physical therapy and food, I'm also looking at a car insurance bill, as well as a new hood and front bumper for the car. Targeting 2500, which is a best case goal. Etsy sales will have to cover the rest!

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Show up with a locksmith. Congress created it and funded it. The president has no power to impound that funding. Congress made the call, and minions can’t just decide to illegally break the law and go against it.
