A poem for your Saturday
Don't Hesitate
~ Mary Oliver
—If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate/It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins./Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty.

"WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters)—An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a 'perp walk' of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said."

Refusing to hand your money over to companies and oligarchs whose behaviors suck should be a very common practice, and yet it’s still treated by many as some sort of revolutionary pipe-dream.
You can do it. The sacrifice is minimal. The reward is big.

The Trump administration can’t threaten to punish media organizations like ABC and the New York Times because they don't like what they have to say.
The right to speak freely, protest peacefully, choose our own religious practice, and access a free press is foundational to our democracy.

You are literally, constitutionally and biblically allowed to do this.
Trump:
"When you have a network, and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump... They're not allowed to do that."

The Trump admin halted a crucial NOAA program that was nearly complete, one designed to help communities prepare for the threat of extreme rainfall and flooding. The project, known as Atlas 15 Volume 2, was meant to forecast how rainfall patterns would change in the future due to climate change.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.
It really needs to be pointed out. As someone who has been to actions up to and inculdiong the uprising here in 2020 I have never seen every officer wearing fake name badges all with the name “the others” instead of their actual names.

Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
