I believe in the saying, "We all do better when we all do better."

NOTHING ELSE WILL SUFFICE.

May the forces of Democracy beat the forces of fascism. Who wants the greedy, grifting, billionaires to be the ones surviving underground in a climate too hot for anything to survive on the surface? 👇
A field of sunflowers in brilliant gold, brown and green surrounds the following quote: "We don't always get the future that we want, but surviving to get a future and a chance to do good for others is more than many are given. - Grandma Korbian" - by Lindsay Buroker, "Scions of Change" ("The Curse and Crown Series, " Book 4, Chapter 34.)

My stepmom is an Anthropologist like myself. We had a lot in common. She's disabled now and I miss our wonderful conversations. I'm sure I'll shed a few tears re-reading it.

‘Citizens United 2.0’: GOP Pushing a Pair of Supreme Court Cases That Would Further Legalize Bribery

Journalist David Sirota writes that the cases, each firmly backed by the Trump administration, are aimed at “incinerating any remaining deterrents to pay-to-play corruption.”

My stepmom sent it to me when it was published. I saw your post, thought of it with love, and went and added it to my ebook collection. I don't have space for physical books anymore, but I have hard drives!

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
