Trump just said he would sacrifice San Diego and LA to the enemy. He is commander and chief of the US military. He just committed treason and violated his oath to protect the country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Impeach and arrest him now.

The Teapot Dome scandal which we all learned about in school totaled a measly $10,000,000 in 2026 dollars. Ten million. Trump corruption totals are BILLIONS of dollars. We may never have a true accounting of the scale of what is being stolen from us

I've known wardens who were all too happy to shoot a bear. One shot a subadult out of a tree, in front of children.

Love both Diana Wynne Jones and Susan Cooper so much! By the time The Greenwitch, 3rd in the Dark is Rising series, was published I was saving my allowance so I could buy each book as they came out. Happy memories of going to the local bookstore, cash proudly in hand, & going home to read my new bk.

Weirdly relieved that it's only the original downtown store that's closed. My family only shopped the end of season sales. I may have to visit the Northpark store next time I'm in Dallass.

So happily soggy in the NE Heights. 1 1/2" rain. Grateful, but wish we were'nt getting all the monsoon in 1 week. Got my covid vax yesterday at Costco. Least traumatic shot of my life. Good thing I was an hour early, store was evacuated at my appt time. No clue why. 1 day closer to the Collapse!
