Hahaha

I can only imagine how he felt.

Donald Trump has successfully buried the story that worries him most

Yes. This. Russia's ties to Trump. Unlike the bullshit fakery of bowling green. This is real. This is serious. And el donaldo wants you to forget about it.

I won't. And you shouldn't either.

#ReadYourWorld #BookWorm read on!

I just finished Crescent Dawn. And yes, I checked it out of the library!

While it may not be great literature, it was an entertaining action story. It may be 600 pages but it's an easy read. ;)

Doesn't matter what you read. Just read for fun and enrich yourself!

Words from Bernice King, daughter of MLK

On her Facebook page - be a king - Bernice writes this:

10 steps to deal with Trump and take back our democratic government. 

1. Don't use his name; EVER (45 will do) [later she updated to say whenever, and personally I like el donaldo]
2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone;
3. Do not argue with those who support him–it doesn't work;
4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state;
5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
6. No more helpless/hopeless talk;
7. Support artists and the arts;
8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
9. Take care of yourselves; and
10. Resist!

'Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight! Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor."

'When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration," or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves; Republican representatives will become very concerned about their re-elections.'

Read. Learn. Understand.

Devos was confirmed as secretary of education, at least in part because she donated heavily to several senators campaigns.

We may not like it. And she may set out to destroy education. So what can we do?

I suggest a couple of things:
Be vocal with your elected officials, school boards, and others that help with education.

And more importantly, I urge everyone to read more. To learn more. To be critical in their thinking. To take part in your children's education and not leave it to the schools.

We can and should do more to better ourselves.

We've jumped the shark. Again.

We jumped the shark when el donaldo "won" (yes I'm still on that) the election.

Yesterday, we circled around and jumped it again.

I mean really?
* Devos got confirmed.
* Melanie sued a newspaper for defamation and loss of business because they called her an escort. How about nudie model? That. Is. fact.
* senator warren was admonished for speaking up in the senate

Something about it all made me think we reached a point where we jumped it again.
