Tom, please remind people to activate now. November 3 is too late. They can use ballotpedia.org to check on state primary date and sample ballot. ( Also, there are a few Federal Gov sites, but I suggest double checking info with other sources. Gasp—this regime lies like a rug and should not be trusted.) Lying in elections is what they do. A big primary turnout sends a message that elections are important and we have eyes on them. They had a Jan 6 insurrection and no hesitation about doing it again.
What Gigi said.⬆️ Also,encourage people to get docs NOW if needed.VoteRiders said birth c’s can take anywhere from several days to 6+ months to receive,depending on the state.

Thanks, Kathy. Passed along to my tribe. I got my passport renewed early, just so I wouldn't be stuck with one with his photo on it. I got it in the mail yesterday! Yay! Don't have travel plans, but ya never know!
So appreciate your newsletter Tom. I confess I have taken a couple of days away from independent media to read poetry and listen to music! The idiot in chief and all his accomplices are first class traitors, IMO. Hogsbreath giving the commencement address at West Point, having the nerve to say "PT and I will have your backs..." I hope there was disdain among graduates and parents. Was there any booing? If not, there should have been from parents and visitors at least. I guess hogsbreath prefers the way russia does war. And the IDF who have proven what criminality looks like when fascism grows where you would have believed those who knew and understood suffering would not want others to experience what their families had. But 78 years of injustice against the indigenous population seems to have done the necessary work of making most of a nation little more than the walking dead. There are mirrors everywhere. I hope majorities here and elsewhere are paying attention. We don't have to accept what this crowd of criminals is dishing out. If we don't want to accept it we better vote the gop out of office at all levels of government. A very long and hard road lies ahead. It will take years not months to overcome what the gop, trump, and scotus operatives have unleashed.
It has been reported that at the West Point commencement Sec. of Fox News Kegstand also landed this beauty, “you can’t throw your pronouns at the enemy.” How inspiring.
Like you, I’ve been away, not fully, but still… The onslaught of information is so disquieting that knowing where to begin is elusive…
Your mention of IDF brought this to mind and while I clicked on a video that supposedly explains more deeply what was going on when Spanish police beat the activists arriving home in Bilbao… I have to say I have not followed Spanish politics in any way, shape or form, was just aware that we are forbidden use of airspace regarding our war with Iran…
If there’s a simple explanation for these dynamics, I welcome learning, but it almost sounds like things are very complex inside of Spain and… I was just unaware. This is hideous stuff:
Check out this video, "Spanish TSA beat GAZA aides IDF had kidnapped"
I had seen that report Katherine, in The Guardian I think. Spain is an interesting case vis a vis politics and governance. I don't know that much myself, only that the fascist franco, though dead, exerts influence from the grave.
During my search about the beatings at the airport, I encountered events in Barcelona where the residents are tired of over-tourism and are trying to drive the tourists out… Here at the SNF where I’ve been since Easter… Was just in conversation with an aide who had traveled in Spain and had mentioned Barcelona as unappealing because of tourism… Guess I’m really behind the times to know anything about the country but maybe I’ll play catch-up a bit. Who knows if travel might lie ahead… Spain, Italy… Or maybe just virtual travel. It’s a strange world out there.
Strange indeed. Our oldest son, an artist and prof is currently in Italy assisting with a group of art students. He's loving it. Has not been in Italy before. Has been in Germany and really appreciated the people and art scene there. I've never been to Spain.
" I guess hogsbreath prefers the way russia does war. "
I'm sure it can be arranged to send him over to participate in Russia's ill-oncieved war on Ukraine. How many thousands are the Russians losing every day now?
Hegseth’s speech seems to have been inspired by Himmler’s speech to SS officers in October 1943. Never imagined something like that addressed to American officers.
We are being governed by Rhesus macaques, known for always presenting their red bums and searching for fleas on one another.
I bet Hegseth thinks he was unleashing the Kraken by telling the cadets they could go on in life behaving like Proud Boys and Oath Keepers on J/6. He read the room wrong. Those men and women already have a code from being in the Academy and clearly recognize him as their inferior despite his title.
Thank you TC for TAFM today. We must never forget...that had Mitch McConnell voted as he should have back in February 2021 to impeach Trump, we would not be going through this today. I will never forget his speech that day or evening. Then, I could not believe all the crap he pulled and was elected president again. I never voted for him....but had I voted for him the second go around...I would not be able to justify it today as so many walking around today...have! I know several. Boy do we have a bunch of idiots in the USA. I am also sad because the guy I wanted to win the Indy 500 today...was so close but lost! Now I am sad!

Now that's a quote for the ages. I'm sure it landed with a thud.
I hope so.

I plan to stay at home if possible until things settle down. Maybe until Trumpty Dumpty is GONE!!!!

My first LFAA and TCinLA comment happened 22 May 2022. You created me. Writing is sacred.
