Money talks
We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

NEW: President Donald Trump continued on Tuesday in his efforts to attack the lives of transgender people and to hobble the federal government — failures of both his responsibility to protect Americans and his duty to run the government.

Trump continues attack on trans people, going after trans kids, teens in new order
After anti-trans orders defining "sex" and seeking to ban trans people from the military, Trump's latest discriminatory order attacks gender-affirming medical care.

This is making me (possibly irrationally) happy today.
I went to water my ficus and found that a piece of my Christmas cactus has fallen off and taken route in the pot.
It feels hopeful. Optimistic.

It can happen, again.
Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
