I never watch police videos, particularly police murders.

I don't think I'm capable of being more sickened or horrified by the way police treat human lives, or more politically aligned with anyone who wants to limit police power or find alternative ways to handle social issues without policing.

I don't have a strong attachment to any one solution, but I'm for trying everything to bring the out-of-control American police forces to heel, especially in their treatment of Black Americans.

I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:

The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.

The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.

AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.

In Davos to talk inflation, Cruella de Sinema says she had to settle for a poodle coat given the spiraling cost of Dalmatians.

Every 2 weeks, I set up a stool in the kitchen to give my son a haircut. Today before I really got started, he had his eyes closed and was smiling softly to himself. As I combed out his curls, I ask why he is smiling. He said it's because he just likes it when I do his hair. 😍

"Can you put a design in my hair, mommy?"

"Sure, what do you want?"

"I want a heart for love."

"Of course, kiddo."

It's two years since January 6.
* The man who let them all walk away, FBI Director Chris Wray, still has a job.
* The man who hasn't prosecuted the person responsible, Merrick Garland, still has a job.
* And almost all the insurrection supporters in Congress still have jobs. @elienyc
