It isn't okay to send undocumented people to a gulag without a trial. It is also not okay to send citizens to a gulag without a trial. Trump is doing the first and wants to do the second. Never again is now.

It sounds like Cory Booker has been doing an amazing job and I hope other Democratic Senators are taking notes, because since the Republicans won't stop Trump's all-out assault on the Constitution, we're all better off when the Senate is completely gummed up with filibusters.

I got a laser printer. Thanks to youtube videos I set it up successfully both in WiFi Direct mode (where the printer also acts as the WiFi network) and and connected to the house WiFi. Then I did it again, and the WiFi Direct address/pwd is stable, yay! Quick connection at conventions!

Great violin lesson today--I didn't have a lot of time to practice this week so I thought I would concentrate on something I could do in short bursts, so I memorized the Etude I had been working on. My teacher was very pleased; it was much easier to pay attention to his suggestions about bowing.

I have continued my walking, and added a backpack, with gradually increasing weight. Today I upped it from 15 to 18 pounds, and walked for an hour, covering about 3 miles. More than usual, because no hike tomorrow. I'm keeping up the squats and stand-on-one-foots and counter push-ups too.

Working on learning an Etude by heart. This one is at least reasonably melodic.

One last status report in the "Adventures in Staying Housed" dep't: Pointing at this post just one more time to see if we can finish clearing old rental arrears so we can sign our new lease. If you've already assisted, maybe you'd reskeet this regardless? Thanks! 💖 www.tumblr.com/dduane/77828...

There is a book out called Careless People which Meta and thus FB are trying to suppress. I'm not going to tell you to get it or not get it but I will say it would be a thumb in the eye for FB if it caught on, and it might be worth checking it out and seeing if it is something that appeals.
