Trump diverted funds meant for European countries to countries in Latin America with right wing governments. This is money Congress appropriated for Europe & he decided violating the Constitution was the thing to do? Impeachment is too good for him. Throw him out on his fat ass.

The protests in India include the banner "Hum Auratein Azaad Hain" (translated as "We Women Are Free"). #HumAurateinAzaadHain #DUProtest #WomensSafety
• The Main Sign: Held aloft in the upper center by raised arms, a large white cardboard placard features handwritten text in black and red marker that reads: "Imagine if WOMEN felt as SAFE as MEN feel OFFENDED".
• Surrounding Protesters:
	• In the center foreground, a person with dark hair, glasses, and a blue medical face mask looks forward.
	• To the left, a person holds up a dark blue poster featuring a black-and-white portrait of a bearded public official with text at the top reading: "WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER IS SILENT".
	• To the right, another individual wearing a face mask holds a sign with handwritten Romanized Hindi script reading: "ACCHA UNCLE AAPKI SOCH ... MERE KAPDE HAI".
The image shows students and members of the Students' Federation of India (SFI) protesting for women's safety in New Delhi, India.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

THIS is my father. Although he fed himself for the first time in 19 days tonight, and although the amount he eats when we spoon feed him is only enough to cause a long period of wasting until he passes, THIS is him. (alt)
Photo of page 377-376 of Les Alpinistes Célèbres (Éditions d'Art Lucien Mazenod Paris 1956). On page 377 my father is credited with the first ascension of el Pico Norte del Marconi (2 200m) along with  G. Watzl (deceased), A. Cazaux (deceased), J. Guthmann (deceased), and C. Stegmann (deceased). I sort of remember them. I do remember my sister and I climbing into dad's backpack while he went up and down the stairs in Mamie's apartment on Arcos in Belgrano C. THIS is him.  He founded the french scouts in Argentina. He received a medal for the climb and for saving the lives of his fellow climbers. As a doctor he and some of these same friends opened a clinic in a village that was so poor it was known only by its distance from Buenos Aires - Kilometro26 (still present today). Their clinic provided care for all, no payment necessary if not possible, no questions asked. The 'no questions asked' became a problem when the military junta took power (they treated anyone injured, including gun shot wounds) until one day one of the clinicians 'disappeared' like so many thousands of desaparecidos in Argentina. He got a call at the clinic one day and the caller only said 'You're next.' Friend ? Foe? We will never know, but Dad called Mom and they met with my two eldest sisters (the only ones born at this time) at the airport and left the country. They went to Zaire (it was called Zaire at the time) where my father became a bush doctor doing everything from births to open heart surguries to immunisations, but that is another bottle of wine.
The Fitz Roy is a stunning peak in the Andes that causes my father much reverie. He did summit, but he was not the first. A picture of the mountain hangs at the foot of his bed.

The dog is white with a brown dot, looks a lot like a Jack Russel terrier but who's to know ? The yard around her is no longer a lush grass lawn but rather brown and dry from months of scorching temperatures and even more months without rain.
