Off a full week of hot news,…
In the shape of our national discourse per the MAGA world, losing an election is impossible, beyond the scope of reality. Case in point is Judge Janet Protasiewicz’s wonderful win yesterday for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, knocking away Dan Kelly — an asshole who epitomizes the entire, complete Republican party: Details via Common Dreams: Daniel…
Clear, glaring sunshine tempered by a strong, chilly wind this late-afternoon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley — another continuance in the cycle of like days since our influx of rain-filled weather ended a couple of weeks ago.
