Why, I remember when this was all just Arpanet. I'm over educated, opinionated, and quite possibly wrong about everything. Nanny Ogg unless angry. Then...Esme.

May I say that my kid just casually tossed a Berthold Brecht reference in passing, and I think this proves I can justify my library taking up an entire semi trailer. 🧐

When the tornado hit in 2016, insurance paid to move my stuff into cargo containers. They didn’t believe me when I said I need one just for books. Then the appraiser got here. Heh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Six families are the main funders of Project 2025.

Bradley, Koch, Scaife, Coors, Seid, & Uihlein are funding a global recession for their own agenda.

Typical American half-court tennis.

It leads to world war, the greed of dynastic wealth. Tax the rich.

Hey, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but....we should all be alarmed. This kind of tracking is how the Nazis were able to kidnap and hide the fact that they were murdering differently abled children, well before the camps were built.

The National Institutes of Health is amassing private medical records from a number of federal and commercial databases to give to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new effort to study #autism, the #NIH's top official said Monday.

In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, ....

Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, ...."

RFK Jr.'s autism study to amass medical records of many Americans

The autism study is planning to link confidential data "with broad coverage in the U.S. population" in one place for the first time.

Well y’all, it looks like JD Vance threw a tantrum until he got a meeting with a sick old man, who took the time to correct the VP of Idiocracy about his understanding of doctrine, and then died of cringe from having to be in the same room.

As popes go, this was a good one. Preached against continuing the activities that contribute to climate change, believed the Church should divest itself of wealth to help the poor, called Gaza a genocide, said the Church was wrong about gay people, and was all around a kind and faithful servant to his God, not at all who you expect to lead Rome, really.

Still, killed by JD Vance because Vance stamped his feet like a baby and demanded to see a dying man for a photo op, which if I had a picture of the pope giving me that side eye, I would just bury myself in the catacombs.

My go-to attorney, i.e, the one who tells me which other attorney to call, is retiring. Which isn’t too surprising, given that she’s older than Keith Richards and only Dracula and the Sun can say that. And we’re chatting about who will replace her, and I said, “well it needs to be someone willing to come get me when I mouth off to the cops.” And she said “ You know, you could NOT do that.” To which I replied, “Margaret, you need to learn that some things in life are inevitable.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

In other news, the roses survived the storms! The maple not so much, she took a direct lightning strike, and I need to get out there and take the stricken part down before it falls and crushes the roses. I hope the rest of the tree survives.

Tens of Thousands Take to the Streets to Defy Austerity and Authoritarianism - Left Voice

For the second time in two weeks, tens of thousands take to the streets to protest against Trump's attacks.

Ok folks, alert time with an action plan. It is apparently legal now for ICE to enter k-12 schools. Most American schools have a lockdown system that doesn't allow the public into the front door without someone buzzing you in, and they frown on activism in their halls by outside agitators. (Rightly so.)

However, what you can do, during a time of calm, is make an appointment to visit people in the administration, give them your number and tell them that you can be at the school in Y, (Y=time from house, etc.), so that you can document ICE and the kids.

Police cannot stop you from filming, although they may try, so the more of you in the phone chain, the better.

We may/may not be able to stop them from kidnapping babies to sell into slavery, but we can sure as fuck document them doing it, and show the faces of the victims so their family and lawyers can identify them.
#DoNotObey #Resist #Document. There will be justice, but we will need evidence.

ICE Can Now Enter K-12 Schools
