I remember this speech. I took note and agree that you noted what was to come.

Has anyone noticed that the 10-points of the ceasefire are a Trump capitulation?

I’m for ending the filibuster. The Dems successfully accomplished their goals in refusing to go along and be complicit in passing the bill. Let Republicans own their awful policies and display their abuses of power to everyone.

Don't forget to celebrate 14 October as the birthday of philosopher Hannah Arendt, famous Anitfa! In her honor, read her books: "Eichmann in Jerusalem" and "The Origins of Totalitarianism." If you feel ambitious, throw in "The Human Condition." #Antifa #Anti-facist #HannahArendt #14October

At a moment of existential threat to American liberty by the Trump Regime, the Nobel Committee points the way.

What is amazing and tragic is that the lawbreaker in this case is Trump and the degraded and compromised DOJ. They are breaking the law in plain sight. When the system rights itself there will be nowhere for Trump and his enablers to run to escape real justice except, perhaps, Russia or Hungary.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. —John Masefield #Freedom #PoetrySky

Slow burn about the last Supreme Court's democracy undermining session, but did a deep dive after Justice Barrett revealed her hidden Serena Joy Waterford in lying about the baselessness of Justice Jackson's critique. CRS analysis: www.congress.gov/crs_external... #democracy #supremecourt #reform

Books I would recommend to others. Sinclair Lewis knew America better than it knew itself: delusional, subject to extremism, and vulnerable to grift. Self-serving platitudes since this book on American exceptionalism fails with the Republican Party, MAGA, Conservatives, and Trump. #Books #BookSky

Thinking Jazz. Metheny and his band were considered fusion at the time, but one only needs to hear "So May It Secretly Begin" to come to the realization that he expresses in music the inner voice in us that says: “I know this. I have lived this. I have felt this.” It’s jazz. #Music #Jazz #JazzSky

Books I would recommend to others. Few writers can look at themselves and the culture around them and write so honestly and fearlessly as Baldwin did in this work. Even today, it is both shocking and disturbing in its ability to tear down facades of race, love, sex, and self-image. #Books #BookSky

From Valley Dude in 2020 warning about Justice Barrett’s extreme reactionary views on the 14th Amendment and expressing the game-plan of negating it. Aligns with today’s ruling on birthright citizenship. #SupremeCourt #Barrett #14thAmendment www.valleydude70.com/blog-1/2020/...

Amy Coney Barrett and the Fourteenth Amendment — Valley Dude

There’s a lot that is going to be written about Amy Coney Barrett about her policies, her religion and the balance of the court.  But what I’d like to focus on is something far more troubling fou...

The radicals on the Supreme Court today handed down this week a set of judicial rulings that are the modern equivalent of the Coercive Acts of 1774. Third American Revolution will be the result, hopefully peaceful and successful. #SupremeCourt #History #Constitution #Liberty

Congressman Frost of Florida gave his State of the District briefing this past weekend. He has done a great deal for Orlando and environs and is well versed on the issues. Key takeaway: issues of oligarchic governance and immigration started in FL first. #AlejandroFrost #CongreemanFrost #Florida10th

Thinking Jazz and feeling blue. Driving to music this morning a bit under the weather and Wes comes on with Hancock on piano, Carter on bass, Tate on drums, and Barretto on percussion along with a full orchestra playing “Eleanor Rigby” and that healing thing happens. #Music #Jazz #JazzSky

Books I would recommend to others. The template for the corruption and abuse of power we’ve experienced. Defeated by an independent judiciary and strong professional institutions in 1974, our anti-democratic Republican and MAGA insurgents attacked those first. Take it back. #Books #BookSky

Unidentified individuals in balaclavas without a badge taking people is abduction. With the absence of a legal warrant or due process it is criminality. Remember that undocumented status is not a criminal issue, it is a civil one. Local police are usually not aware of the raids. #ICE #DHS #Raids

I agree with the sentiments and did at the time, but it led to the all-volunteer military and the imperial presidency. War powers must never be exercised by one person. When the country is wrong it must course correct and citizens be allowed to protest. The power elite, instead, insulated itself.

Books I would recommend to others. I was a Jersey shore boy before it was overdeveloped and a joke, and later a Florida naturalist. I came across this book at the age of 10. Since then, I learned that dollarized and exploited, what people covet and develop destroys the thing itself. #Books #BookSky

Thinking Jazz. One of the mainstays of bop, by the 1960s Max Roach had fully integrated his music with the social consciousness of equality and civil rights, evolving into post-bop and modal. This album aurally captures the chaotic advances and setbacks of the time. #Music #Jazz #JazzSky

Books I would recommend to others. I am a product of a good liberal arts education. When I become overwhelmed by the misinformation and fuzzy thinking of our time, I return to science as a restorative. Physics is a precise science, presented here by a giant of the 20th century. #Books #BookSky

Thinking Jazz. You didn't imagine it: I had started to post Nina Simone, but I had honored that album previously. Instead, here is Coltrane at Birdland containing the thoughtful and mournful "Alabama." One of his best across a lifetime of consistent brilliance and exploration. #Music #Jazz #JazzSky

Books I would recommend to others. Written during the McCarthy era and in light of the Nazi book burnings, Bradbury’s novel is as urgent in its message today. That we have a president mentored by a McCarthy lieutenant speaks volumes. Ignorance and malice doesn’t rest. #Books #BookSky

Books I would recommend to others. This book is not about battles, it is about the social, political and military events that led to open battle. We are in a similar period today, facing an oppressive neo-Confederate regime, but, instead, having subsumed our central government. #Books #BookSky

Fatty McFascist with Little Mussolini of Tallahassee are going to find that to vets, this not so veiled threat is a challenge, not a warning to heed. In the Services, deadly force is a strictly defined rule and accountability means you answer for your actions. Time to outlaw police unions.

After listening to Gavin Newsom’s powerful speech, Kaitlin Collins’ take was that the California governor “attacked what Trump has done over the past several months.” Another corporate media tool. It’s not what the rest of us heard. #CNN #CorporateMedia #PoliticalTools
