Hi, All.
So. He just defied a clear court order and said “Oopsie. Too late “. What happens now?
Can any of us just say no to a court order?
I can’t find anywhere saying anyone is doing anything.
Surely the opposition had a plan for this?

In a world of Kid Rocks and Carrie Underwoods, be a Woody Guthrie.

Tomorrow, while all the centrists and conservatives will quote that one line from the "I have a dream" speech and attempt--grossly and offensively--to use it to advocate "unity" with the new administration, I'm going to be thinking of two other works by King. One is his "Other America" speech:
But as we assemble here tonight, I'm sure that each of us is painfully aware of the fact that there is another America, and that other America has a daily ugliness about it that transforms the buoyancy of hope into the fatigue of despair. In that other America, millions of people find themselves forced to live in inadequate, substandard, and often dilapidated housing conditions. In these conditions they don't have wall-to-wall carpets, but all too often they find themselves living with wall-to-wall rats and roaches. In this other America, thousands, yea, even millions, of young people are forced to attend in- adequate, substandard, inferior, quality-less schools, and year after year thousands of young people in this other America finish our high schools reading at an eighth- and a ninth-grade level sometimes. Not because they are dumb, not because they don't have innate intelligence, but because the schools are so inadequate, so overcrowded, so de- void of quality, so segregated, if you will, that the best in these minds can never come out. And probably the most critical problem in the other America is the economic prob- lem. By the millions, people in the other America find themselves perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. We only need look at the facts, and they tell us something tragic. The fact is that the black man in the United States of America is facing a literal depression. Now you know they don't call it that. When there is massive unemployment in the black community, it's called a social problem. But when there is massive unemployment in the white community, it's called a depression. With the black man, it's "welfare," with the whites it's "subsidies." This country has socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.

I predict all out war between Elonia Musk and Trump very soon. Musk is richer than Trump and DJT hates being second. Besides, you just can’t have two creatures who each need to suck out all the air in the same room at the same time.
And I predict Trump won’t win.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
