Attempts to comply early, without orders, are the saddest parts of this coup. Trying to speculate on what they want or might go after next are misguided efforts that won't save their skin anyway.

Every single report on the Trump funding freeze — every report on Medicare portal, Head Start, homeless veterans programs — needs to mention immediately WHY. The freeze is in order to complete an ideological purge of so-called “woke” programming. This is IMPORTANT, y’all.

Great interview. Teaching MLK this week and this helps get a broader understanding of how MLK is seen today.

As Trump pardoned almost all of the Jan. 6th insurrectionists, lest we forget that President Andrew Johnson pardoned almost all Confederates. And in due time, they regained power, framed antiracist Reconstruction policies as anti-White. . .1/2

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.

I'm making it my mission to read the August Wilson Century Series. I have all the big ones under my belt (Fences, Ma Rainey, Piano Tuner), but I'm hoping to connect with folks who've read others. I have "Joe Turner," but any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

I'm a big August Wilson fan, and loved the film adaptatons of "Fences" and "Ma Rainey." Did anyone see the "The Piano Tuner"? If so, what did you think.

Storms over Texas

Sitting in a hotel outside of New Orleans. Chillin'. Wild storms all over. Storms are chillin'. My wife is laying here. Chillin'. Kids on the hotel pull-out couch, also chillin'. My dog, living her best life, 98 years old in people years [14 in dog years], so chill right now. We're all chillin'.

Long drive through Florida. Stopped to get Mexican-ish food at Moe's. No tofu today. It takes 8 minutes to cook tofu on the grill at Moe's. 8 minutes is too long for tofu. Middle Florida apparently didn't expect a tofu rush today. This year, there will be no Thankgiving. Thanks, Dotard.

Listened to news today. Lots of weird stuff, but no response. Weeks of being warned about a fascist. Now he's here, and it's business as usual. Waiting for a response. Not today.
