  • Oh, yes, attacking pronouns is such a "gotcha"--our corporate 1% overlords don't want us 99% to have an identify, just a payroll ID number (and perhaps not even that).
  • Our Constitution was DESIGNED to prevent tyranny and punish wannabe dictators and traitors. We must have the rule of law.
  • Always (morbidly) fascinating how corporate feudalism aligns perfectly with right-wing fascism.
  • D. Trump (justly) trashed on Twitter > E. Musk (faux-)outrage buys out Twitter > Restores TFG MAGAts to platform > TFG twitters into WH > TFG makes Tesla cars USGOV vehicles > TFG bails out Hyperlink. Not hard to figure out.
  • We often think the problem is Conservative political philosophy being tarnished/subverted by rude, arrogant, wealthy assholes. IMO Conservative political philosophy nourishes rude, arrogant, wealthy assholes, always rewarding the worst of humanity throughout history.
  • Interesting how I've had to block M. T. Green twice now on Twitter. BTW should M. T. Green's pronouns be "I Spread / For Trump"?

The next few days are going to be even more revealing in Wisconsin. Gov. Walker has achieved his tear-filled dream of stripping the citizens of his state of their First Amendment rights (peaceful assembly and petition to address grievances). I'm sure freedom of the press will be going into the crapper soon. We'll then find out why it was so important for the citizens to be deprived of their collective bargaining rights:  Walker will cut all state employee pay (except his own) across the board. Naturally state employees will rally to protest, whereupon Walker--emotionally chocked with gratitude--will then fire all protesting state employees. Be sure he will single out teachers for the hardest blows of the axe--for some reason he really hates teachers. With the (illegal) firing of his state employees, Wlaker will then make up the $140 million budget shortfall he created by funneling money to his cronies.

I'm doing volunteer work for the Farmington Historical Society, where I'm digitally scanning and archiving old ledgers, journals and papers using my digital camera (thank you, Heather!)
