I see this photo as emblematic of what Trump has been doing to the United States. Tearing it all down to rebuild it in his own image. Few who know the White House would debate the need for larger event space. But this isn't the way to do it, and not with this fucking crook making all the decisions.

It was a great day for a hike to escape these crazy times even if only for a little while.

I don’t feel comfortable with that kind of lead. Pollsters missed badly last gubernatorial election. Murphy won by only 3.2 points.

New book arrived 😊
The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown. I’ve enjoyed most of Dan Brow’s books in the Robert Langdon series except for Origin. That one really didn’t do it for me. Hoping this one brings me back.

I vote with my wallet. If businesses want to capitulate to fascists they can count on getting no business from me.

If I can't vote on something, I vote with my wallet. I've had my Amazon account since 1995 and this is the first year I've not made a single purchase on Amazon.
I've also actively been moving web services off of AWS, both personal and at work.

Below is officer Daniel Hodges. He was with the DC Metropolitan Police. He was crushed in a door and beaten by Trump's mob on January 6th, 2021.
The perpetrator, Patrick McCaughey III from Connecticut, received a full and unconditional pardon from President Trump yesterday.
Trump is a disgrace.

When I was in Vienna I visited the Imperial Treasury (Schatzkammer) and got to see the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire. This crown witnessed many significant moments in European history.
