I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the shortest distance between Venezuala and the United States is about 933 nautical miles.
A 33' boat outfitted w. a 300 gallon tank *might* be able to travel approximately 600 miles, weather permitting.
Long story short, I call bullshit.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

It was never about the 'right' way.
I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

I fear for every Afghan national currently in this country right now as the Trump regime lumps them all together with the person who shot 2 National Guard members in DC. I would not be surprised to see them rounded up and put in concentration camps until they can be deported.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.
