Good West Coast morning/afternoon Nerdy & TOD family. Yes meta, we are all okay. In fact I was on the phone with jojothecat when she felt the jolt and then we both felt the rolling that seemed to last forever!
As we think about the symbolism of the National Mall, an intriguing interview with David Adjaye, architect of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. He talks about the historic narrative of the building, how it's situated in the Mall.https://t.co/TJdosrDWH7
Happy 4th of July! A day that represents courage in the face of tyranny. Take a moment today to question how history will look back on this chapter. Time brings truth into focus. This period of fear, hate, lies and complicity will be studied by generations to come. πΊπΈ
Happy 21st birthday to Malia and thanks for posting all this goodness on a dark day for our nation. We must hang on to better times and work for restoration.
.@realDonaldTrump Your #MAGA rally at the National Mall is a gross perversion of #July4th. There were NO tanks, planes, helicopters in 1776; there should be NONE now as we celebrate Independence Day from a foreign monarch, not you, a wannabe tinpot dictator who steals $ from us https://t.co/1Izv4kizu0
I remember hearing a story when Hillary was running against Trump that showed how Trump operates his mirror and magic show. It was told by a contractor that was stiffed of pay for work done by Trump. The story was about how Trump got investors for his casino or a hotel he wanted to build in Atlantic City, NJ. The contractor spoke about how Trump wanted lots and lots of construction equipment and drivers operating that equipment on the lot that the building was designated to be built. Their orders were to look busy pushing dirt around for the hour the investors were scheduled to observe the site. Trump was setting up the scam to take their money. It reminded me of the movie βStingβ. I see this scam-like scenario repeating over and over again only with different plots. Cheating, lying, and scamming are all part of his lifelong pursuits. It is so evident. To not believe what has been repeated over and over again takes incredible naivety combined with stupidity or just plain lack of morality.

Happy July 4th everybody. America is a great country that has withstood many challenges–and none so great as those that came from within. We are doing that again right now & we will some day look back at this period as a sign of our resilience and the strength of our democracy.
I'm afraid I must be the bearer of bad news. My flight has already been delayed a fortnight, and I fear it will be longer. The army has shut down the airport and the airplane will not be invented for 6 score and 7 years from now.#RevolutionaryWarAirportStories
In trump's head, there are many time zones, including ET (Eastern Time), PT (Pacific Time), and OT (Obama Time). He hasn't been able to shake the last one. …
… mostly because he can't measure up to President Obama. Ever. Happy 4th!
We have a sadist in the White House who gaslights the nation every day. They love him because he's a white supremacist and reminds them of their grifting sexual deviant megachurch frauds.

Drones are successfully planting trees.
6,000,000 trees thus far.
“These drones use βseed missilesβ to plant up to 400,000 trees a day. A group of trees they planted last year are now 20 inches tallβproving the technology works.
In 2012, the nonprofit Worldview International Foundation set out to plant 300 million mangrove trees in an area of Myanmar where only 16% of the original mangrove forest remains.
1) Mangrove trees absorb up to five times more CO2 than trees in rainforests.
2) They also help filter and clean water. So mangrove trees can play a big role in fighting climate change.
The foundation planted trees by hand until a former NASA engineer designed drones that could plant seeds. Biocarbon Engineering partnered with WIF to test its technology in Myanmar. The efforts have been successful. So far, WIF has planted approximately six million trees in Myanmar in seven years. With the help of the drones, it hopes to plant another four million in 2019 alone.”

I really liked the Democratic candidates’ campaigners coming together for a group picture. It shows, what I hope remains, the solidarity of this party which is needed if we are to exterminate the vermin currently occupying the WH.
Having said that, I hope that the candidates do not allow themselves to get caught up in what I would call wedge issues. While these issues may stir emotions, for most, they do little if anything to resolve the issues that are more of a priority… health care, voting rights, climate control, gun violence, infrastructure, immigration, economic equality… the list goes on and on.
In other words, do not let the media keep drama going. Instead pivot to issues that are more relevant. Candidates, don’t let yourselves be made into the current shiny object. It puts a target on your back and the glimmer often fades. Instead, pivot to the substance. In addition to pointing out the REAL issues, tell us how you will address them…*realistically* address them. [As Kamala Harris said, we want to know how you’re going to put food on our table.]
When the convention is over and we have a Democratic nominee, I would like to see a UNITED party. AND I would like to feel that we have someone whose success goes beyond getting 45 out of office. I would like to feel confident in the ability of the next President to 1) undo — as much as possible — the damage done by the current WH occupant, and 2) effectively address the issues that will benefit this country; especially the poor and working class.
It is frustrating and exhausting to see how he just ignores the fact that there are two other branches of government. Checks and balances mean nothing. It comes down to “I do what I want” with no expectation of push-back or punishment/censuring. [Why would he expect that when it didn’t happen during the first couple of years?]
More and more I wonder what Nancy Pelosi’s end game is and hope that whatever trigger she’s waiting for happens sooner rather than later.
This is a huge deal. Citizenship question has nothing to do with enforcing Voting Rights Act, as Trump admin long claimed. It's about drawing districts to shift power to white GOP areas by excluding non-citizens from counting https://t.co/igwrrhs6gh
Pleased @realDonaldTrump has made it even harder now to include the citizenship question on #Census2020. Drawing congressional districts based on "citizens," rather than "persons," is unconstitutional. Trump has now stated the real reason, and that reason is unconstitutional. https://t.co/oaWLH0yO1o
Thank you, Cody. Close your eyes and listen to a real President speak about the history of our country. One that knows about it, cares about it, and works every day of his life to make it more inclusive, and just, for all.
Joe Biden says he wasn't prepared for Kamala Harris' debate attack on busing.

In the lead up to nominating a Democrat in 2008 to go up against Mittens, all the Democrats went after each other, and they knew each other. Can you imagine Hillary saying to another Democrat, “why are you coming after me, we know each other.” Joe has every advantage in the world over Kamala, I don’t want to hear this shit about him expecting or wanting her at act a certain way.

Governor Dunleavy wants a 41% cut on the University of Alaska system.
Remember college dropout Scott Walker and what he did to trash one of America’s top research universities? Well it is happening big time across Alaska, such that if the GOP cuts happen, the University system may never recover. What traitorous GOP won’t tell you is how destroying our universities also destroys the economy, jobs, businesses, the town, the city, the state, present and future. And how much the firings and related issues will actually cost. It exposes to me the real GOP/Oil Network objective, which is. to bring Alaska under private control so that Big Oil can commandeer it. And all of us. While dumbing us down = zero contract slave labor is a given.
GOP strategy of drying out the Treasury can be seen in 3D:
In Alaska there is no state sales tax, no property tax, or income tax. People get an oil and gas dividend of $658 Billion. The governor, while gutting higher education in half, wants to increase that giveaway without any taxing. Meanwhile billions in oil credits given away to big oil. A big part of the GOP strategy is to dry out the treasury, ignore the overwhelming economic benefits of the university system, in favor of an ideology focuses on short term profit for private institutions.
Meanwhile Trump wants to get his oily hands on the ANWAR.
Meanwhile no July 4th fireworks allowed in Anchorage due to 90 degree weather for the first time ever. Previous record 89 degrees in 1969. Extreme fire dangers. And seas surface temperatures are “astronomically” above normal. Well done fossil fuels for strangling our oxygen and causing the displacement of hundreds of millions of people around the globe, some who are now fleeing to the U.S. for the privilege of being tortured and malnourished. Well done Exxon, you could’ve prevented this 40 years ago instead of lying about it, profiting off it, and creating a pathway to end our small minded species.
“If you can convince the lowest white man that heβs better than the best colored man, he wonβt notice youβre picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and heβll even empty his pockets for you.”

Greetings, TOD!
I hope you all had a great 4th of July. Hope everybody is okay that was hit with the earthquake in California. Happy Birthday to Malia Obama, can’t believe she’s 21.
I had trouble getting to this site. I was on vacation in Greece for two weeks and got back on Tuesday. Finally figured out the problem was that I had to okay cookies.
Nope, that wasn’t the only problem. I have to go through Word Press, instead of going through Safari.
New post.

I have not gotten a July 6 post. Is there a problem due to the earthquake or another log in problem?
