Out of everything, and there is a lot, the assault on the Universities is very close to the top of most egregious and brazen power grabs in this post democratic order.

WaPo: And by democracy, we mean fealty to lords of capitalism and those who govern them.

The slippery glide path to a one party authoritarian state continues. ABC capitulates, Manchin and Sinema go in on a parting gift to GOP, big tech lines up to kiss the ring. Apparently there is no energy for resistance. 😢

This is the world we live in.
We will no longer accept in-person consultations due to safety reasons. Unfortunately that is the reality of living in Texas in a Trump presidency. I’m so tired.

I just love this…
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

A mandate?
Consider this, the margin of victory was 49ish% to 48ish% —less than 2%. The House majority will likely be only 2 seats, the thinnest margin in a century. 74+ million people voted for Kamala; it seems as though there is plenty to work with. The real enemies are complacency and silence.
