For those of us with a bit of extra time, let's make 2025 a year of writing letters. Have a goal of writing some # per week/month of letters to elected reps, SCOTUS, etc. We can share tips, formats, addresses and results. We have to stay engaged and involved and together this year.

SEDITION:conspiring to overthrow the government,oppose its authority by force,or hinder its laws.Dems do you believe what Jack Smith is telling you or is he a liar, or are you afraid or both??

Virtually every single statement that Smith makes in this hours-long deposition, and I watched about two hours worth, is a damning indictment of Trump. This needs amplifying!
Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Next year's artists signed contracts to perform at "The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts." Since a venue with that name no longer exists, and one with a very division name many artists would not wish to be associated with does, they should be able to get out of their contracts.

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

For humans, static electricity is a curiosity. For insects, it can be life or death: spiders use it to catch prey, bumblebees to collect pollen, and nematodes to leap onto passing flies.
