Someone like @theonion.com needs to set up a Lizz Truss-style lettuce (or pumpkin) and see if Trump can outlast it.

Good thoughts from Anton. I've tried to strike a balance between showing (teaching) the trauma caused by colonization & resilience, joy, & diversity of modern Natives.

Biboonagad! Winter has arrived!
2F this morning and gorgeous. Not as much snow as east and south (!) of us, but good enough for touring skis and perfect for reading the overnight news on the pond.
Can you distinguish between coyote and domestic dog?
Can you ID a (Long-Tailed) Weasel?

About to head to Spain and reviewing my old journals as I begin to pick at the memoire. I was there when Bush I invaded Panama & I thought "Go 'merica! We're getting a bad guy!" The Spanish checked me quickly back then.
We're older now & are all on the same page on the horrors we're seeing.

Heading to Spain this week & reviewing journals from the 1st time there for the memoire. 36 years ago, the Berlin Wall had just fallen & the dominos of the Iron Curtain were beginning to tip. Incredible time of hope & light.
Romania was HOT. Ceausescu & wife would be shot dead on Christmas Day.

And we are the best at being nightmarishly awful.

New rule for interviewees: You can say the name of your interviewer a maximum of three times.
SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

So, my workout videos this week were the 2012 Amazing Spiderman movies with Andrew Garfield which I'd never seen and Spiderman was my favorite superhero as a kid and minutes ago I finished the second movie in which his girlfriend, Gwen (Emma Stone), DIES and I'm going to need a moment.

Seems to me if the House can vote 427-1 and the Senate can vote 99-0 on the release of the Epstein files when Shit For Brains threatened them not to, then they can also impeach *and convict* him, and bring this stage of our national nightmare to an abrupt end.
When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.
