    > In a worst-case scenario, historians will someday have to explain why the golden age of Western democracy […] lasted only about two hundred years.

  9. Donald Trump picked #Harmeet #Dhillon,
    a Maga darling and ardent supporter,
    to lead civil rights cases at the US Department of Justice,
    -- a sign of major changes ahead in the agency’s priorities.

    Dhillon made her name in Maga circles by taking on culture-war cases as a San Francisco lawyer
    and became a fixture in rightwing media,
    appearing often on Fox shows.

    She has filed various lawsuits over election “integrity” issues
    and supported Trump’s quests to overturn results in 2020.

    In announcing Dhillon’s nomination, Trump cited a laundry list of cases she’s working on,
    including “taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech,
    representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID,
    and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers”.

    He also mentioned how Dhillon’s lawsuits on election law fought to “ensure that all, and ONLY, legal votes are counted”.

    “In her new role at the DOJ, Harmeet will be a tireless defender of our Constitutional Rights,
    and will enforce our Civil Rights and Election Laws FAIRLY and FIRMLY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    “I’m extremely honored by President Trump’s nomination to assist with our nation’s civil rights agenda,”
    Dhillon wrote on Twitter/X after the nomination.

    “It has been my dream to be able to serve our great country, and I am so excited to be part of an incredible team of lawyers led by @PamBondi.
    I cannot wait to get to work!”

    Trump previously announced #Pam #Bondi, the former attorney general of Florida and a Trump defense attorney,
    as his pick to lead the justice department.

    As a lawyer in California, Dhillon has sued the University of California, Berkeley for its speech policies,
    represented rightwing undercover operation Project Veritas and the former Fox host Tucker Carlson,
    and filed lawsuits over pandemic restrictions.

    She served as a legal adviser to Trump in 2020
    and ran to replace Ronna McDaniel as chair of the Republican National Committee in 2023,
    seeking to make the party organization more Trump-friendly.

    During the 2024 election, she was dispatched to Arizona by the Trump campaign,
    a decision that some saw as a sign the campaign was ready to make aggressive legal moves if needed to win there.

    She founded a legal non-profit,
    the Center for American Liberty,
    which uses the courts to go after violations of civil liberties and defend against the
    “coordinated assault on our civil liberties from corporations, politicians, socialist revolutionaries, and inept or biased government officials”,
    the organization’s website says.

  10. Last year I read Malm & Carton their two books on #overshoot #CCS and geoengineering that analysed this dynamic further. It's truly a horror scenario and it's the path that we're on. It's all baked in into the structure of our society, economy and politics.

    Remember: 'The Earth is not dying - it is being killed. And the people who are killing it have names and addresses.'

  17. SAN JORGE 26 – Leyenda y manualidades de dragón con cartón

    Nueva semana y nueva temática, y hoy nos adelantamos en unos días, ala celebración de San Jorge, que es el próximo 23 de abril.

    La leyenda de San Jorge narra cómo un valiente caballero cristiano salvó a una princesa y a una ciudad libia (Silene) de un temible dragón que exigía sacrificios humanos. San Jorge atravesó al monstruo con su lanza, liberando al pueblo y convirtiéndolos al cristianismo. De la sangre del dragón brotó un rosal, y San Jorge regaló una rosa a la princesa, tradición que motiva el intercambio de libros y rosas cada 23 de abril. 

    Puntos clave de la leyenda:

    • El Dragón y el Sacrificio: El dragón aterrorizaba a la ciudad, consumiendo animales y luego jóvenes doncellas, incluyendo a la hija del rey.
    • La Intervención: San Jorge, un soldado romano (y mártir cristiano), apareció a caballo y enfrentó a la bestia para salvar a la princesa.
    • El Simbolismo: Representa la victoria del bien sobre el mal, donde San Jorge simboliza al cristiano/caballero, el caballo blanco a la Iglesia y el dragón al demonio o el mal.
    • La Rosa: La tradición cuenta que de la sangre del dragón nació un rosal de rosas rojas, origen de la tradición de regalar una rosa por el día de Sant Jordi.
    • Significado Cultural: Es patrón de diversas regiones, notablemente Aragón y Cataluña en España (como Sant Jordi), así como de Inglaterra.

    Durante toda esta semana, os dejare diferentes talleres, para trabajar esta celebración. Hoy comenzamos, con manualidades de dragón, en cartón:

  18. SEMANA SANTA 2026 – Zanahorias de Cartón: Ideas Divertidas para Niños

    Para hacer zanahorias de cartón con niños, recorta formas de zanahoria en cartón, píntalas de naranja y añade tiras de papel verde o cartulina para el tallo. Puedes usar técnicas de enrollado con foami, crear cajitas con forma de zanahoria para Pascua, o incluso tejer lana en zanahorias de cartón para motricidad fina. 

    Aquí tienes varias ideas sencillas paso a paso:

    1. Zanahoria de Cono (Papel o Cartulina)

    • Materiales: Hojas naranjas y verdes, tijeras, pegamento, ojos móviles.
    • Pasos:
      1. Dobla la hoja naranja formando un cono y corta el sobrante.
      2. Pega el borde para fijar la forma de zanahoria.
      3. Recorta tiras de papel verde para las hojas superiores.
      4. Pega los ojos y dibuja una sonrisa. 

    2. Zanahoria de Cartón y Lana (Motricidad)

    • Materiales: Cartón, lana naranja y verde, perforadora.
    • Pasos:
      1. Recorta una silueta de zanahoria en el cartón.
      2. Haz agujeros en los bordes con la perforadora.
      3. Invita a los niños a «coser» o pasar la lana por los agujeros para rellenar la zanahoria. 

    3. Cajita/Empaque de Zanahoria

    • Materiales: Cartón, foami (foamy) naranja y verde, pintura acrílica.
    • Pasos:
      1. Corta dos bases de cartón en forma de zanahoria.
      2. Forra el cartón con foami naranja.
      3. Pega una tira de foami alrededor para darle volumen.
      4. Añade hojas verdes de foami en la parte superior. 

    Tips para manualidades con niños:

    • Pintura: Si usan cartón reciclado, píntenlo con témpera naranja brillante.
    • Decoración: Utilicen botones, pompones o papeles de colores para decorar.
    • Tallo: Para las hojas, se puede usar cartulina verde, fieltro, papel crepé o limpiapipas.

  19. :heartsaesthetic00: Abrir el corazón es, probablemente, el deporte de riesgo más extremo que existe.
    No hay casco ni rodilleras que valgan cuando decides bajar la guardia y decirle a alguien:
    "Mira, esto es lo que hay, sin filtros ni trampa ni cartón".

    Cuando alguien lo hace de verdad, ocurre algo casi mágico.
    Se rompe esa coraza invisible que todos llevamos para que no nos hagan daño y, de repente, el aire se vuelve más ligero.
    Es como si por fin pudieras respirar hondo después de haber estado aguantando la respiración mucho tiempo.
    Sí, da un miedo que te mueres porque te quedas expuesto, pero es la única forma de conectar de verdad.

    No hablo solo de amor romántico.
    Hablo de esa charla con un amigo a las tantas de la madrugada donde dejas de decir "estoy bien" y admites que estás un poco perdido.
    O de ese perdón que te costaba un mundo soltar.
    Al abrir el corazón, te arriesgas a que te lo rompan, claro, pero también le das permiso a la vida para que te pasen cosas de las buenas.

    Al final, la gente que vive con el corazón blindado se ahorra algún que otro golpe, pero también se pierde el espectáculo.
    Porque cuando dos personas se encuentran desde la sinceridad más pura, todo lo demás —las apariencias, los miedos, las tonterías del día a día— se vuelve pequeñito.

    Vale la pena el riesgo, ¿no creéis?
