Rolling home from work, mind reeling, but I discover Baratunde Thurston and thank goodness. I need visionary. Meaning. Connection. Help with SEEING and hearing stories. And fuck the news. Goddamn it, media are watching a 5-alarm fire.

WE NEED THIS. look up this man. He’s here, he’s there.

Social media delivered a “tsunami” of voices: “that of the amateur, of the educated non-elites, of a disaffected and unruly public. It was at this level that the vast majority of new information was now produced and circulated.”

The only way my flag should fly is upside down, to signal distress, until the day when we are honorable again. Today the United States formally joined Russia’s side and abandoned our dear allies in Ukraine. We abandoned Europe. I am deeply ashamed to be an American.

Lyric from “Burn” by the Cure (1995), released in the soundtrack for The Crow. Don’t talk of worlds that never were The end is all that’s ever true There’s nothing you can ever say Nothing you can ever do Still, every night I burn Every night I scream your name

John Lithgow saw it coming in 2020. Not that he was the only one but he wrote a lot of good rhymes.

A sentence was due for Rueful Roger (Stone),
Dirty trickster, artful dodger;
Hangdog dandy, glum and gaunt,
His trial had reached its denouement.
Book cover: Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown, by John Lithgow. Illustration: Donald Trump’s head on the body of Henry VIII. “When somebody’s the president of the United States, the authority is total, and that’s the way it’s got to be.” Dumpty, April 13, 2020 Quote facing the title page of the book Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown, by John Lithgow (2020). Lithgow calls Donald Trump “Dumpty.”

MSN’s Lawrence O’Donnell takes the appropriate stance and tone about the coup, pointing to Social Security as the most dependable, effective and important federal program in history. Also notes the words of the first GOP president elected after Social Security was created.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower writes in 1954 about Social Security: “Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.” President Eisenhower writes in 1954 about hard right-wingers who want to eliminate Social Security: “They are negligible in number and they are stupid.”

In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court declared, “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal,” thus legally ending segregation in schools across the nation.

This monumental decision shall have an ongoing legacy.

MAGA may destroy the Dept of Education, but not history. Not our willpower.

Board of Education National Historic Site you can explore the history leading up to this monumental decision and connect to its ongoing legacy.

This monumental decision shall have an ongoing legacy if we fight.
