What can you expect from me?
WordPress, Photography, Plants, Theatre, Soccer, and Stupid Stuff
Not necessarily in that order.
Maybe some Buddhist and Episcopal content for good measure.

Buddhists are people and people do believe things, but Buddhism is concerned with truth, not with belief, and the teaching is to see things as they are.

Can Kat Abughazaleh Help Democrats Grow a Spine?
She’s a lefty 26-year-old internet star. Her primary opponent is 80 and has held office since 1999. Inside a race for Congress that could help revive a doddering Democratic Party.

Authoritarians depend on you obeying in advance and not resisting. Every act of disruption weakens them and slows down their plan. It's a crack. The cracks add up. This is why what Cory Booker is doing is important compared to the weak complicity of Schumer and others.

Dem strategists need to immediately write opinion pieces with click bait titles like ‘“is it safe to fly?” and “Is Trump crashing the airline industry?” to draw attention to the causes of this catastrophe. YES, it’s political. Everything is. Get airline CEOs to turn against him and Musk.

National Democratic organizers have the perfect catchy slogan right now:
"Trump took it."
It's the new answer to anything anyone complains about.
"Trump took it. He cut everything. Trump took it."
Catchy. Dullard-oriented. People who can't mentally process "policy" can process it.

I would have thought that more than 4% of Americans belonged to unions.
But, thinking 30% of Americans live in NYC? Really?

When I see research results like these here my conviction to teach people a basic gut feeling of data grows stronger. Folks think that one in five people are transgender?! That’s soooo off. People think that 40% have served in the military?! That’s one of the reasons I share so many charts and maps.
