Books, music, baseball, and garden. Mom of fur babies, wife, auntie, grand-auntie, artist, singer, retired teacher of history. The order depends on the day.

I'm a retired 7th grade Social Studies teacher, so I don't scare easily. I'm slowly migrating over here because it's just so much more pleasant. There will be thoughts on education, history, books, gardens, music, and St. Louis sports.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

They're trying to normalize it. It isn't normal. Today, somebody told me that they'll believe I'm right if he gets rid of Congress. Here's the thing - the Roman Empire had a Senate. They were just irrelevant. This has always been the plan.
What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

You can say too little, too late, but at least he's saying something. It's also important to remember that he did his duty in 2021 in the face of real death threats. And it's more than most other Republicans are doing.
Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Why is it that I feel like I'm in some crazy, alternative universe? I AM TIRED OF LIVING THROUGH MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENTS. And I say that as a former history teacher. Can the crazy just take a breath and give us like a month off?

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.
The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.
‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.
So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has.

Never did I think such a thing would be possible. Why are so many people going along with this?
I hope folks understand what’s happening here. Some in the administration view concentration camps inside the US as *maybe* a bridge too far.
So they’re starting with Guantanamo Bay, away from prying eyes and 24/7 coverage.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
