According to a new report, 33 of the January 6 rioters Trump pardoned on his first day in office have since been charged, arrested, or convicted of new crimes. Trump is happy to put criminals back on our streets so long as they are loyal to him.

Reading Hagar by Mary Johnston: An Early 20th-Century (Fantastic) Feminist Novel
Some time a week ago or so, I came across a reference, who knows where, to the Virginia writer Mary Johnston (1870-1936).

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I am rereading David Joy's Those We Thought We Knew. Had to put it down a minute ago to sob. SOB. This time I know what's coming, so certain passages are even more of a gut punch than they were for my first reading. If you have not yet read this book, DO SO RIGHT NOW

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding. This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

This might seem like a subtle difference, but it's an important one: you can wish harm to your opponents, or you can wish they cease to be able to harm. I like to think a lot of what I hope for is the latter if I cheer chaos and setbacks and scandals.
