Yeah, this is good. What is so compellingly awful is what happened to Rowling, or to her brain or her heart. She created what I see as one of the most brilliant analyses of the seduction of evil through moral weakness -- but she gave up her claim to greatness with her unfathomable anti-trans hatred.

I am liking the off planet prisons from the Eve Dallas novels (J. D. Robb).

YES! And don't forget to move the map. I had to drag it to make sure that our Paris demonstration is shown ;-)....

Trump--Miller--Kennedy--Vance--and a lot of the rest of them are all about eugenics and white supremacy....it's behind ALL of these deliberate deprivations of food, health care, and education.

I think a really nice gesture would be for LA residents to establish a soup kitchen for the troops. I don't know if I'm kidding or not.

Exactly. And yet currently the stock market is on a tear. Make it make sense. Last hurrah?

Yes. The Olympic Committee (I know, that bastion of fair thinking and fair play, but oh well) needs to reassign the Olympics to some other nation. The US can't possibly safely host.

Yeah, I did one of those, and then the guy at the desk had me check in anyway. BS!

Homan doesn't look well. This is what arrogance, ego, hatred, and white supremacy can do to a guy.

Hegseth was in France? Oh hell. That boy needs to be confined to his makeup room until we can convict him of multiple violations of the Constitution -- and of just being a horrible creep.

They've gotta move the Olympics. The US is not a safe place for international athletes, or international visitors. Or US citizens.

Oopsie -- masked, booted, helmeted, armed ICE agents in danger? How awful! Are these Trumpies REALLY as clueless as they seem? REALLY?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. That day will come. We have to do better than we did after January 6. AND....we can take over some of those goddamn ICE prisons and put those administration felons in there. It'll be glorious. (Am I sounding vengeful? Very well, then. I am vengeful.)

Stephen Miller is one of the nastiest pieces of work ever allowed to develop.

As an LGBTQ graduate from Harvard, I’m happy to say that I have left the US (though not until after a 35 year teaching career. Oops).

I mostly agree, so far. But those views on LGBTQ+...NOT a minor matter.

Have you got the opportunity to interview candidates in person? Perhaps they cannot personally reflect the knowledge that AI (IA) has structured for them....

Yes, he is. And the horror is that (a) he doesn't care, because (b) it's part of a 'eugenics' program.

Usha- take the kids and run. Nobody will blame you.
