Progressive father, lawyer, cyclist, thinker. Hopeful that the USA will one day live up to the promise of the Declaration of Independence. Dumbfounded that we seem to be stuck in an historical feedback loop.

In the 50s, all it took was one Representative to ask “have you no decency, sir?” to bring an end to the McCarthy Red Hearings. What the GOP is doing to Anthony Fauci is shameful. But in an era filled with sinvergüenzas, I’m afraid simple decency has left the building.

Re Velvet Sundown: Someone is confusing songs about dust and wind. “The band’s lyrics, too, were a perfect mesh of generic anti-war sentiments and other clichés like “Nothin’ lasts forever but the earth and sky, it slips away, and all your money won’t another minute buy.”

How bad is Trump’s Big Abominable Bill? When the richest man alive, Elon Musk, criticized it, Trump’s allies threatened to have him deported from the United States. *That’s* how bad they *know* the bill is. *That’s* how much it’s pork-laden fare for rich American elites *only*.

Gavin Newsom paints a grim picture of life under Trump: people abducted off the streets, violent ICE raids, no due process—and children left behind when parents vanish. Authoritarianism doesn’t always start with tanks—it starts with silence.
