I'm in the national general strike today, and I'll be going to the MD Statehouse to meet with my electeds, to demand they do more to protect everyone from the ICE gestapo.
The only money I'm spending today will be on parking downtown.

In my entire life, I've never met another American who can locate Greenland on a map, let alone know that Greenland is part of Denmark. It feels so much like an evil mastermind schoolyard nerd just tipped off the school bully to the fact that there are fresh cookies to steal in the Home Ec room.

I'm watching the Ken Burns documentary on the Revolution. This 1760 quote from Sam Adams hits hard. "Don't comply in advance."

I've seen the video. Even if it were a legal command he gave (it wasn't), she wasn't an armed fleeing felon.
There is ZERO justification for shooting an innocent person in the back, who's driving away from you at residential street speeds.
That's called homicide.

We haven't had a just reason for a war (or war*) since 9/11, and truthfully, a limited incursion into Afghanistan was probably all that was truly warranted then.

All the Americans who can spell NATO are, once again, in shock about the Thug in Chief fellating Putin for the umpteenth time.
At this point, if people are still surprised by this new axis of moron-ocracy, are they even paying attention?

Trying to decide the best nom du grift for the president. Options so far:
Combover Caligula
The Gonif in Chief
Putin's Pet
The First Pedophile
Hard to choose a favorite. Not sure about the propriety of using Yiddish as confirmed goy.

For those of you who haven't studied the Roman Republic, it's a really bad idea to have a powerful military dependent on wealthy individuals for their pay and not the government.

While objectively terrible, destroying the physical building of the Whitehouse is the least terrible thing this administration has done since inauguration. It's also consistent with everything else he's done, so not exactly surprising.

Here's a good and worthy cause: the legal defense of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
It's especially important now, as the US government wants to deport Abrego Garcia to Uganda - a place he is not from - in order to make their whole judicial embarrassment disappear. I just donated, and so can you.

Gov. Hochul has a solution: if they gerrymander, we counter-gerry.
We could save what's left of our government.

Waiting around for the critical mass to figure out this is intrinsically evil and deleterious to democratic government/civil liberties, is like watching people diametrically opposed to giving the "push" door a little nudge to see if the sign is really true for them as well.

The fam spent Independence Day in Boston touring important historical places. My favorite by far: the USS Constitution. The USN runs the ship and they allowed me to go into the bilge to touch the original 227 year old keel!!!!!

Happy Independence Day from the Old State House in Boston, MA. The Declaration of Independence was publicly read from the balcony (for the 249th time) moments after I took this photo.

I'm starting a new political party. It's called Unity, and our platform is political and economic democracy.
Unity electeds who later refuse the party platform will be asked to resign their political position and won't be allowed to run as Unity candidates in future. Because we have standards.
