J. D. Vance just made a horrible speach in Munich, endorsing fascism and the Germany's leader just said "fuck you" in a very diplomatic speech. Trump has chosen Russia over NATO. What an abandonment of everything our country stands for.

You’d think that the agency’s name—“National Nuclear Security Administration”—might have led someone to at least ask, “Hey, what do these guys do?”

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right? it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC. i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

School Board Workshop - great conversation tonight. The roads were a little sketchy in patches with that wind.

Finished! Excellent book.

Finished! Easy quick read that comes full circle with a satisfying conclusion.

We spent the last four years writing about the high price of eggs under Biden. Now that they’ve reached an all-time high under Trump we’ve moved on to other topics.

HELL YEAH! Congressman Jim McGovern TORE Speaker Mike Johnson a new for saying it wasn’t “his place” to question Trump’s January 6 pardon. “Not your place?? WHO THE HELL’S PLACE IS IT?” He said. “How about you stand with the officers who protected you and not a reality show wannabe dictator.” 💙

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

I know everyone reading this is probably having a tough time right now. It’s truly a horrible day for America. But you’re not alone. We’ve built a massive grassroots coalition of folks here who feel just like you do—and we’ve got your back.

My book club changed our monthly book line up for February to, Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. I’ve got some reading to do! 😝

I often read more than one book at a time. I started The Fallen Woman’s Daughter by Michelle Cox for book club. We ended up changing up the line up. I will continue to read this book anyway.
