I'm way deep into nothing special, riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of Hollywood. Drifter, occasional grifter, tea drinker, Jack Kerouac fan making his way west on the open road.

Just so everybody is clear on Republican priorities: We put up an amendment to make sure nobody making over $500 million gets a tax cut. Republicans voted against it.

"Trump wants to partner with Putin’s Russia morally and politically—against Ukraine, and against liberal democracy. The U.S. president is on Putin’s side. Trump made clear he’s going to make a deal—one that amounts to a capitulation—regardless of Ukraine’s wishes." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cruelt...

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

I wrote about going to Capitol Hill yesterday to talk to Trump supporters, and also about to going to DC's AME church for their MLK memorial. It was a bizarre experience, from which I hope I drew some useful conclusions beyond mere spectatorship.

Unlike Obama, who hobbled into office with a 7.2% victory in the popular vote, Donald Trump takes office with a clear mandate after a 1.5% victory in the popular vote.

He did that. A Nazi salute. He did it twice. He promotes the pro-Nazi AfD party in Germany. His platform has elevated Nazi content and given white supremacists a blue check mark. What are we doing, folks?

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today: "The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars." We must find & feed the points of light.
