I listened in on the UVa Faculty Senate meeting today. My major observation is that it is an institution under duress. From DOJ and BOV members colluding with DOJ. Stand up for principles or litigate, with likely financial disaster before resolution.

In following the Trump-Epstein stories, let me request as others have, that we are describing the sexual abuse of children. Not young women. Children.

“Affordability” is now the new magical word. Trump has adopted it, at least temporarily. The magic will fade. It will lose its resonance quickly. I recommend using a thesaurus.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I’m not sure why this is coming to mind except for the flower and the cop in the middle. But it, once again, made me laugh, for which I am grateful.

I watched the military parade on YouTube. It stirred a lot of thoughts and feelings. Mostly it made me feel sad that these soldiers were used.

While it was great to see a great turnout in Charlottesville today, it was predominantly older people. Where are the young? In particular in a college town?

2/ And then inserted Americans into administering Iraq based on ideological confor to the Republican Party rather than on experience and competence? The occupation did not go well. I suspect the occupation of the US government is not going to go well.
