By profession, educator. By temperament, learner. Prone to gaze at clouds, trees, rivers. Easily hooked by narrative media. Heartbroken by the regime, and now and again by bits of the past. Find peace in breathing in the present moment, taking action.
Lamentation. That's kinda what I'm thinking.

Why does no one stop this tomfoolery? Cheeto is oblivious to his own shame and idiocy. We have ample evidence of this. But surely there are others in DC and beyond who see this muck for what it is. Why not speak up, call out the ways this regime drags the US further into the mire?

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

"Quacks" was a pointed insult when more people believed the scientific process lead to truth. Now people can see the truth in their own neighborhoods. Such an odious shame that adults' learning is done at the expense of children's suffering!

A solid rule in public policy is most things take much longer to fix than they do to break and the rate of breakage now is so profound that we're just digging a hole that'll take longer to dig out of than we will have to fix it before someone is like "What if we try that again though?"
The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

This, the previous border militarization, occupation of our own cities, and the seizing of a Venezuelan ship in Venezuelan waters... I decry what we've become and pray that we hold unrestricted elections that can wrest power from this corrupt regime. #bordermiltarized #owncitiesoccupied #Venezuela
