Takeaway from my daily meditations:

James GleickThis is actually false, New York Times. Ex-presidents have never been “shielded from indictment.” There is no “taboo.”
Ex-presidents have always been subject to prosecution for their crimes. Vice-presidents, state governors, and congressmen have all been indicted and even imprisoned.
Only one thing is new here: an incorrigible career criminal became president.
DuneMyThang“As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.'

The meeting was in the neighborhood where I grew up. There was a Tuesday night AA meeting in the same church basement. The Tuesday meeting was a topic meeting that regularly had more than three times as many attendees as the

Thursday group. On Tuesdays, I would see many people I knew from the neighborhood. Thursday’s group was mostly people with whom I would not ordinarily associate. I considered Thursday’s group my home group.
Julie was someone with whom my Mom might associate. She reminded me of a neighborhood mom, and she was about the same age as my parents.
As I do, Julie delighted in coincidences - like the one that helped convince her to get treatment for her alcoholism. “They had only one bed available, and
