One of the points in my Great Depression lecture that always seems to surprise students is how radical the farmers got in their protests.
In 1932, the head of a farmers group warned the Senate that his furious members would bomb them from the air if they could just afford an airplane to do it.

Farmers often have pitchforks right?

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?
It's literally called Library Extension.

My German teacher in high school loved to talk about how the most dangerous thing was a half-educated man, and I thought he was being kind of arrogant, but now that I’ve grown up and seen the damage that dumb guys who think they’re smart guys can do, I gotta hand it to him

My 72-yr-old Mom died mid-Sept’24, and the agency pulled back her Sept payment after they learned she died. They don’t play around.

It's easy to give up and disengage right now - but Chris Kluwe isn't doing that.
Kluwe stood on business in Huntington Beach tonight for marginalized folks, and was arrested for his act of civil disobedience.

I like calling my representatives’ offices after hours so I can go straight to voicemail.
I couldn’t leave a voicemail for Rep Ilhan Omar at her DC or MN numbers because the inboxes were full!
Sen. Tina Smith’s MN voicemail was open, but the DC one was full.
