Life long liberal, blissful atheist, lover of all animals and very few people. Too old to put up with any more BS. Rogier van den Weyden fan. Here to toast marshmallows in the widening gyre with you all. NB: I believe profanity is necessary these days.

add to that the replacement of senior military leaders with toadies and sycophants. And the pardoning of J6 criminals, restoring their arms. They are getting ready to have multiple armed forces willing to shoot civilians on his orders. The danger is not theoretical.

A police officer fired for excessive force shouldn’t be able to move to another dept & do it again. Without a national misconduct database, that’s what happens. Officer Timothy Loehmann who killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice had previously been deemed “unfit for duty”—yet he was still hired in Cleveland.

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness… The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live…is…victory.” Howard Zinn
