I love traveling to scenic places, reading and watching hopeful science fiction, experiencing musical theater, and hoping that history stops repeating itself.

It’s time for accountability. When we get back to Congress next week, articles of impeachment need to be filed against Pete Hegseth.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury.
No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty.
You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse.
Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

Now that Trump has caved to China, because that’s what this is, it looks like Peter Navarro will have more time to spend with his obscure 18th century economic theories.

This past week, the Chinese learned
1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;
2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;
and
3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.
Highly useful information.

Justice Sotomayor with a bone-chilling dissent today: “The implication of the govt’s position is noncitizens AND US citizens could be taken off streets, forced onto planes, confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress…This Nation's laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise.

That’s why the quote about the beam & the mote was so frequently used in my childhood. I was surrounded by spiritual people who consistently used whatever they learned to criticize others & RARELY used what they learned to gain self-insight on themselves.
It was a BIG problem in spiritual circles.

Furthermore, with spiritual narcissists, I find that they really only want to be a smidgen more moral than someone else.
They don’t hold themselves to a high standard - they just think: “If I’m a tad better than someone else, then that means I’m moral merely by comparison."

Religious people are often VERY immoral. But they constantly compare themselves to a black sheep nearby who can play the role as a “bigger sinner than they are.”

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.
Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.
The US must end its complicity.
Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.
