Beautiful. "National Parks Service employee shares sad message on being fired abruptly" "Many were terminated yesterday in a huge unprecedented move. Figured I would share a Ranger’s thoughts from the National Monument in my hometown, where I have so many memories. Just heartbreaking."

And racists, sexists, other-ists. “Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community ... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots” ~ Umberto Eco

Senator Murphy: "I'm not going to calm down. This is corruption. Democracies don't last forever, & what those who are trying to destroy democracies want is for everyone to stay quiet, for everyone to believe that the moment isn't urgent. This is a crisis of epic proportions."

I hope folks understand what’s happening here. Some in the administration view concentration camps inside the US as maybe a bridge too far. So they’re starting with Guantanamo Bay, away from prying eyes and 24/7 coverage.

The Washington Post calls January 6 and the events leading up to it "election-reversal efforts." It has gotten Orwellian over there. I will say again, support independent, pro-democracy media.

"On Jan. 7, 2021, it was widely acknowledged among American conservatives that Donald Trump’s behavior on Jan. 6th was completely unacceptable...The conservative movement has retconned not just the events of four years ago, but their own reactions to those events." www.slowboring.com/p/four-years...

The members of the Washington opinion glitterati can be counted on to zero in on all Democratic errors and write long articles about where they’ve gone wrong. But it’s all shoulder shrug admiration for a President and party that supported a Capitol attacking insurrection four years ago tomorrow.

The alleviation of women's abuse "is made less likely by the mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists. What is especially disappointing...is the docile acceptance by so many strong Christian women of their subjugation & restricted role." - Jimmy Carter (RIP)

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming: Isn't it your time to stand up? Isn't it your time to show some heroism? Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?
