I have created a digital 100th anniversary edition of "The Kobzar of Ukraine", a selection of poems by Taras Shevchenko originally translated & published by my grandfather, Dr. A.J.Hunter (1868-1940) of Teulon, Manitoba in 1922. Dr. Hunter was a medical missionary who worked with Ukrainian immigrants in Manitoba. He was instrumental in building schools & a hospital in Teulon. The current hospital bears his name.

I don’t have access to the rest of this 2022 article but am wondering if it predicted Trump’s “surprise” win in 2024. Anyone here have a Medium account who could find out?

Worth watching if you've wondered if there could have been "hanky panky" in the presidential vote tallies.
"Stephen Spoonamore, the data scientist behind a viral "duty to warn" letter has uncovered results from an analysis of the 2024 election, specifically an inconsistency in bullet ballots... but what does it all mean?"

Heard this today. In case anyone needs it: A Touch of Grey (“I will get by, I will survive”) from the Grateful Dead.
This from Glenn Kirschner could make you feel better about how there are ways to put the brakes on the 2025 administration.
“State governors and attorneys general have been coming together and pledging to protect the citizens of their respective states in the event the future Trump administration engages in abuses, overreach or lawlessness.
This video discusses how we need to look for the points of light that will pierce the coming darkness.”
“They’re losing their wives … “ MAGAts feeling the fallout from their ignorant support of an immoral, cruel, and stupid presidential candidate.

Good to hear Laurence Tribe’s take on America’s ability to stymie Trump’s attempts to increase presidential power. The guardrails are not gone.
Thoughts / observations + 3 days after election:
SCORPION AND THE FROG PHASE
We are being lulled into a liminal state of resignation and false hope based on knowing what an incompetent, egomaniacal piece of shit Trump is…
I can feel myself doing it too, thinking “He’s 78, he just wanted to win and he’ll spend the rest of his days golfing.” or “Surely he’ll want his legacy to be remembered well and have SOME real, good governance to show”
Let’s brush up on this story
A girl can dream:
What if -
Peter Thiel & JD Vance are patriots disguised as MAGAts. Through his greed & susceptibility to flattery, they manipulated Trump into believing they supported him. The intention, however, is to remove Trump as quickly as possible in order to install Vance as president. Instead of the weird "cat lady" critic & immigrant hater, he is actually the pro-democracy Trump hater he was prior to this charade
Silly thought, maybe, but like I said, a girl can dream ...
Greg Palast has thoughts on spoiled ballots in the election.
A very positive vision from The Lincoln Project:
Nicole Wallace leaving everything on the field to make sure America does not disgrace itself by electing Trump to the White House again.
Mandy Patinkin has some great interviews that are not getting the exposure that they deserve.
A kind man is worth more to the universe than a rich man.
