I'm an old American guy living in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. I have been a geologist, statistician, English teacher, web editor, and cafe boss. I deplore fascism, racism, nationalism, sexism, and irrationalism. I like classical music and jazz. (No DMs)
Not religious myself, but I must say, the yellow part is a heck of a lot more likely than that fantasy described at the top.

Texas, where they want to force the teaching of things that don't exist—like a snake chatting up someone called "Eve"—and ban the teaching of things that do exist—like race and gender. Christian Nationalism is toxic.

Somebody just posted "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and I found myself humming along. I think the chorus goes like this (con'd):

The night they let old Donnie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they laid him in the ground
And all the people were singin', they went
Bye, byebyebyebye bye
Never come back
Or we'll spit in your eye …
Maybe I misheard a few words.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
Everyone involved with Epstein’s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.
It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!
Repost if you agree.

Yet there are a lot more of us not-rich folks. We should be able to run things, but the republicans have conned the dumbest of us into supporting the rich.
Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

Dirty money in politics is holding back needed progress.
In the global electrification race China is marching ahead.
The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

I think it's meaningfully that Trump changed Department of Defense to Department of War.
Pror to the change "defense" implied we only fight to defend ourselves. Trump changed that to mirror Putin's and Netanyahu's philosophy of aggressive imperialism.
Trump is the President of War.

Right. After decades of defunded schools and insane religious propaganda, we have a slight majority of dummies, enough to swing elections.
I remember in 2016 when Trump was first running for president that, as I observed his crowds, I thought, "Wow, this election seems like it's between intelligent people and idiots."
I wasn't wrong.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.
