From an National Education Association newsletter: #PetitionToBiden
"To: President Biden
Do everything in your power to protect our democracy and rights before Trump takes office"
I have been thinking about this and then got that email for one of my national Teacher's unions.
Please check it out & sign it too if you agree.

Thinking back to when Lech Walesa posed with the Art of the Deal genius who hates unions and doesn't like to pay up when workers finish a job.
My wife said something profound a while ago. The idiots have elected a madman and his minions, who are going to fuck this country up beyond all recognition....for everyone but the wealthy. The MAGA are going to get screwed with their pants on, and no few of them are going to die because of their stupidity.
My wife's take is that the only thing that will make our future suffering tolerable, is that we get to watch the MAGA suffer, knowing they brought it on themselves.

Days of Deceit
They preached Love on Sundays,
But on Monday, mocked the meek.
Tuesday traded truth for tyranny . . .
Wednesday wielded women as property,
Whittling at the worth of those who brought them life.
Thursday they dropped the mask, with a treacherous grin.
Friday found them flaunting their folly, reveling in what they wrought, with no shame in sight.
Saturday looms in silence . . .
Seeds of spite, thick and rotting, wait unhealed.

Biden needs to pre-emptively blanket pardon ANYBODY involved in prosecuting Trump for his crimes. Stat.
Because Trump is gonna find a way to exact revenge and put them in the box. This is what it's come down to.
Going dark did me no good at all.
Went to get takeout for lunch. My wife wanted fish from a local place that makes really good catfish.
Overheard something. Two guys standing in line behind me. Full-bore white trash, one tells the other, "I expect I'll get a raise once Trump gets rid of the spics and puts the n-words where they belong." His buddy nodded like a happy dumb-ass.
I threw up in the parking lot.
My wife is eating her lunch. I'm going to go mow the fucking lawn.
Mood=Angry. Bruce Banner grade.

I'd rather be wrong about something and learn than to be a liar.
It's no longer about HIS character.. it's about THEIRS, now, too.

Musk & Trump are now one & the same. Your Twitter data is Trumps now.
Here's how to mitigate:
1) Create a new Twitter account no identifying names etc.
2) Got to the account you're trying to obscure & change ur @/handle to make it available.
3). QUICKLY Go to the new account and change it's @handle to ur original @/handle
4). Deactivate your original account.
Eventually your original data will cycle out of their backups & nobody can take your handle.
It is done >
I'm going dark for awhile. I'm 68 years old today. Well into borrowed time for my family, and my wife's cancer is worse. So, I'm done.

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
Russia has been trying to sow division and mistrust in the US and West for decades, expanding on Soviet concepts with the aid of modern tech like social media. Trump has been a potent weapon for them in this war.

It’s war.
Quote @LiamFromBoston
The biggest story of the night is Russia calling multiple bomb threats into Democratic strongholds across the country. This should shock every American to the core.

Something to bear in mind today.

Vote blue, keep your head down, and your mouth shut. I don't want to lose any friends today.
