Not that I'm gloating, er, celebrating, er, wildly ecstatic, er, hopeful or anything, but here's what broke today:

1. #TrumpOrganization guilty on all counts of tax fraud scheme
2. House #January6thCommittee has decided to make #CriminalReferrals
3. Special counsel #JackSmith subpoenas Ariz., Mich., Wis. officials for #Trump communications

Weeeeeeeeeee!

What non-genealogy software do you use in your research and why? I'm thinking of tools like Zotero https://zotero.org for #citations and #bibliographies of published sources @genealogy @geneadons #Genealogy

Outlandish Observations
Happy birthday to Chris Hillman, who turns 78 today, born December 4, 1944 in Los Angeles, Calif. Hillman was a founding member of The Byrds; Flying Burrito Brothers; Souther, Hillman and Furay; Manassas; and the Desert Rose Band. He released one of his best solo recordings a few years back, the Tom Petty-produced 'Bidin' My Time' (Rounder Records), which I can't recommend highly enough.

This is just so very, very lovely.

@northfolk Yes thank you, I guess we’re all in the same boat with our genealogy work. It really can be overwhelming. I know they lived in #Weymouth #NovaScotia, we traveled to the museum there & exchanged ’lots of info. Scotland is where the trail runs cold. We know they’re from the #ScottishHighlands near Inverness & that’s about it. Grant is a common name. Next steps: learning to navigate the online Scottish genealogical & #Maritime resources 🫣.

I'm old enough to remember that respecting and defending the Constitution was the most basic expectation of every citizen, let alone someone running for president. Even after everything we've been through, the idea that Republicans will stick with a man who flagrantly demands the Constitution be discarded to install him into office: Infuriating.

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you.

I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.
