Here you are, you animals. The Twenty Correct States of America.
A map of the United States edited mostly arbitrarily into 20 states more closely matched in population. Some edits, like dividing Pennsylvania between Big Ohio & New Jersey, are both practical & meant to amuse. Puerto Rico is a state with the US Virgin Islands, Guam & the Northern Marianas Islands have been integrated into Hawaii, & Alaska is now the northernmost congressional district of Big Oregon, which includes Washington & Idaho. California is divided into North & South. Colorado is combined with Nevada, Arizona, Utah, & New Mexico. The northern Plains & Mountain West are now Missouri. Old Missouri is now part of Arkansas along with Kansas, Oklahoma, & Louisiana. Mississippi has gained Alabama & Tennessee. Illinois has gained Indiana. Big Ohio has Kentucky, West Virginia, & western Pennsylvania as noted above, plus western Maryland. Minnesota, Wisconsin, & Michigan are now the state of Superior. The Carolinas have been consolidated. Virginia now includes the western panhandle of West Virginia, eastern Maryland, & Delaware. Everything east of New York is now the state of New England.

How do you know this is BS? (Beyond the fact it came out of Trump's mouth.) If Trump was, in fact, at Ground Zero on 9/11, he would have been talking about it NON-STOP for YEARS afterward. He wouldn't have been able to stop himself.

My grandmother had a saying: "And Magda Goebbels made a great strudel." For years I didn't understand it, until my mother explained that some glossy magazine once ran a puff piece on Magda Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda queen - complete with her strudel recipe. My grandmother, who despised the Nazis with every ounce of her soul, used it as shorthand for the way media will sanitize evil by focusing on something trivial, domestic, or charming while ignoring the atrocities staring us in the face.

If ICE wants you dead, they'll find any way to make it happen. They're sure they can act with impunity. First against people they consider "illegal" or "paid protestors." Ultimately, against any of us, for little to no reason at all. The message: fall in line or face judge/jury/executioner.

I was once called a Pollyanna for expressing an enduring hope. Indeed, hope is an active verb which gnaws at all that is negative, with the persistent drive to destroy all that is negative. It's the fuel that keeps us moving toward a better future. Be brave. Have hope.

So many Americans have been diagnosed with depression or have friends/family who have been. Many of us have sought treatment and are sympathetic to those still working through the process. Kean could have taken faith in that and released a statement *months ago.* But no.

The one thing we do know for sure is that on June 30, Kean will be appearing before one friendly reporter and a carefully-curated group of "constituents" to make a statement, w/no Q&A, before disappearing into obscurity (but he'll show for floor votes & fundraising events). It's his brand.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Last night, ICE purposefully targeted medic, pacifist & veteran Adam Marshall, an organizer with Eyes on ICE, while he was trying to help protestors at Delaney Hall who had been gassed three times. They slammed him to the ground and ripped off his gas mask. He was arrested and dumped 10 miles away.
