Never forget. Image
Fifth or Twenty Fifth? Image
"Since 1801, the peaceful transfer of power has remained a hallmark of U.S. government, joining the two-party system as key aspects of ensuring a healthy democracy."

We officially have an unhealthy democracy. history.com/news/peaceful-…
So yeah, today was a big deal. An out of control, deposed leader who wanted to seize power by letting armed men into the Capitol and then tried to choke out his security when blocked from joining them. Image
Buried in this was the urgency to thwart witness intimidation. Like the slow talking judge said #ClearAndPresentDanger Equal time:
We also just watched a deprogrammed but brave young professional destroy her political career for the benefit of this nation. Almost all of the 1/6 witnesses and participants have been targeted for campaigns of threats and intimidation. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

For cultural anthropologists searching for cultural footnotes to explain the collapse of the American system: Image
I know I used "Culture" too many times to describe "Cancel Culture" or MAGA Monetization of the collapse but the Smithsonian needs to start buying this stuff up stat. shop.dineshdsouza.com Image
You think I am being silly when I point out that Jr is pimping "I will not comply" in his new Save America Collection. You can measure public sentiment by direct sales. OK so there might be a bit of "dead elephant" vibe here. ImageImageImage

There were plans on how to overthrow the election and stop Biden from peaceful transition of power. All sent to Meadows. Like the ASOG May 2020 presentation.I know because a friend of mine briefed Meadows and burned him when he denied it. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
And the people behind the people....need to say their piece. Mr Pillow, Mike Flynn, Mr Overstock and Putinna Buttina. We still have a long way to go to get to the truth. #WhatTheHellWereYouThinking? businessinsider.com/pro-trump-form…
Not just shadowy operatives and ill-intentioned wealthy. Numerous elected and appointed "lawmakers" and government employees added and abetted the violent overthrow of the election. They lost. All that's left is the reckoning. durangoherald.com/articles/rep-b…

Apparently Vlad is not getting enough attention from the civilized world. Are we going to deal with a mass murderer now or in five years when governments wake up? nbcnews.com/news/world/rus…
Vlad had already been awarded the “Bin Laden Asshole Achievement” in 1999 for Chechnya and continues to set new standards in mass murder in needless self generated conflicts. Ukraine wants him to go out with a bang, please. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualtie…
I have heard that the weather can be very very bad in Tajikistan. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I miss High Covid Travel. I may never have an entire airport and 777 to myself again. Except those Chinese sailors in hazmat suits. They were everywhere. usatoday.com/story/travel/2…
Nostalgia.
The trick was to be one step ahead of all the shutdowns, which meant you had to move fast and end up in Tanzania. Where the government denied Covid existed. It did. Covid hasn't gone away. We just don't care anymore. ©RYP

"The Handmaid's Tale" by Canadian Margaret Atwood is correctly described as "dystopian". So that's a good thought to keep in your head when you see the meme being dragged out for protests. Your cheat sheet: sparknotes.com/lit/handmaid/
And I suppose the women who are complicit in restraining women will be called out for what they are. "Unlike Gilead’s elite men, who possess ultimate control over social and political matters, Aunt Lydia must exercise her power underground, out of sight." sparknotes.com/lit/testaments…
Barrett was raised in a tiny cult that was subservient to men. It’s hard to believe the damage one emotionally malformed woman has done to all Americans. washingtonpost.com/investigations…

My favorite. Except 17th century thinking is kinda advanced for some of the logic used in Supreme Court decisions.
Roe vs Wade confirmed that we (men and women) have “a fundamental "right to privacy" from the goddam government we hire to pave the damn roads and protect the nation.
Your (Our) right to privacy is not protected by the Constitution. Something right wing kooks don’t seem to understand. annenbergclassroom.org/resource/our-r…
