  1. Dr. Richarson's Letter this morning says it all

    Quoting Harold James (Georgia) per Joyce White Vance from the letter -

    “Let’s sum it up for everybody. The biggest bloc of middle and working class voters are Black people. When Republicans strip Black people’s political power away, it doesn’t just strip one community of power. It strips political power from every single middle and working class person and hands it over to billionaires and big corporations. That’s what redistricting means for you.”

  2. I have been struggling to fins some equilibrium after this horrific outflow of racism, and hate from and the southern states. There is no place for racism in my life, in society, in science or in government. Those trying to revert back to Jim Crow are mentally ill, but cannot recognize their illness or the harm they are causing.

    Since Hummingbird season is in full 'flight', I have been working on photos of hummingbirds for a few days, along with reviewing photos of happy places.

  7. Dr. Richardson's Letter this morning covers the range of corruption ongoing in this administration.

    ------

    My thoughst - Now that SKKKOTUS cleared the way for states to fully embrace hatred, Tennessee took no time to show its true color. They need to change their flag from unity into a more accurate KKK flag, and should adopt white hoods in the legislature.

  10. Dr. Richardson’s powerful letter on Mothers’ Day.

    Two things stand out with which I agree;

    ‘But “Mothers’ Day”—with the apostrophe not in the singular spot, but in the plural—actually started in the 1870s, when the sheer enormity of the death caused by the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War convinced writer and reformer Julia Ward Howe that women must take control of politics from the men who had permitted such carnage. Mothers’ Day was not designed to encourage people to be nice to their mothers. It was part of women’s effort to gain power to change society.“

    “While we celebrate the modern version of Mother’s Day on May 10, in this momentous year of 2026, it’s worth remembering the original Mothers’ Day and Julia Ward Howe’s conviction that women must have the same rights as men, and that they must make their voices heard.”

  11. Dr. Richardson’s Letter captures the GOP bait and switch perfectly.

    ———
    I am so sick of gop hatred, lies, grift, and criminality. It feels like we are caught in an evil carny stealing our money, our identity our humanity.

    How do you fight such evil?

  12. Dr. Richardson’s Letter this morning is a stark reminder of the divide in the ‘senate’.

    Quoting:

    “Senate majority leader John Thune (R-SD) said yesterday he would not challenge Trump’s novel interpretation of the War Powers Act, in part, he said, because Senate Republicans have given him no reason to. Republicans have no interest in voting to support Trump’s unpopular war, and yet don’t want to buck Trump. So they are choosing to abdicate their constitutional responsibilities.‘ …

  13. Dr. Snyder details his thoughts on Superpower suicide.

    To quote the concluding sentence:

    "From where we stand now there are two ways forward: one is the self-induced downfall of the American republic; the other is to reconsider American ideals and to restructure American politics so as to bring the people greater power over a more just future."

  14. If you do not follow / subscribe to the Democracy Docket Newsletters by Marc Elias, I strongly encourage you to do do. This mornings newsletter

    “The Supreme Court has taken off its mask”

    Was alarming, depressing, and carries a strong message about the attacks on Voting Rights.

    I do not know how to link directly to the newsletter, so here is a link to site.

  15. A bit of reality. This administration, and “pundits” of the right-wing media spew a continuous barrage of tripe blaming former President Biden for everything and distorting his record without references. Fact Check provides a nice, well based analysis of his term with receipts and analysis. An interesting read.

  17. Twenty days out from knee replacement on the right knee - a story of slow but steady progress with a few setbacks. Using a cane now, and working to increase strength and stamina. The biggest challenge has been emotional, watching my country die day-by-day at the hands of those who have betrayed their oath to the Constitution. That really hit hard with the unbelievable Voting Rights decision.

    At the same time, grateful for family support, friends to have helped (unasked) with yard work, and the nursing - PT care given.

    Slowly working on some challenging photos - this from Glacier National Park was a several hour project.
