Kudos to the NYT for selecting this image of Vance. He and the whole cast of clowns posing as the executive branch should never be made to "look good." The public should see these fascists for who they are: Weak, stupid, and evil.

Nuclear deterrent in Europe will shortly become entirely in the hands of Britain and France.
When will DOD close US bases in Europe?
That seems to be where we are headed in the "embrace Russia" tour of US foreign policy.

Mumps have taken from the ash heap of history foreign policy straight out of the 1930's:
" ...and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones...But those were Foreign Children and it really didn't matter."
America first.
American cruelty is back.

One would hope good civil servants adjacent to the crazy would have to courage to step up!
But, the pessimist in me knows how bystanders and willing participants took a leading role in the holocaust. See below, German occupation orders require Jews to wear badges. Paris, 1942.

I joined @bsky.app as the crazy times in the US began to ramp up.
I realize I've never posted anything remotely funny. Teachers can do satire, too, right? I can hear the comments now: Don't quit your day job.

Garland would have made a much better USSC judge: Slow, deliberate, by the book.
For that we can thank McConnell, the man who swallowed a canary.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Pictured, Dr. King being arrested in 1958 outside a courtroom in Alabama, in support of Rev. Abernathy.
Dr. King's crime? Entering a public hearing while being Black.
America's racism must be taught in all schools. We must never forget. #MLKDay
