Saw on Rachel tonight that Trump is planning to lift the twenty year old ban on mining, logging, oil and gas exploration in the Tongass National Forest. The Tongass is our comparable Amazon Forest. I lived in Juneau, AK for ten years and cannot fathom opening the forest to exploration. It harbors 40% of our Salmon, a diverse wildlife, helps cleanse our air, hosts millions of visitors each year and is one of the last truly wild forests. These quiet actions he is ordering is dooming our World’s future.

Exactly how I feel about Laurence Tribe and certain other white folks trying to force Stacey Abrams to do what she has told you she is not doing. It’s fucking dehumanizing and annoying. She will do what she wants to do when she wants to do it.
Are they going to provide her with the mental and physical resources she will need as she keeps on battering against the hate that comes her way just for existing as Black woman in the world?
Because when Black women over and over again try to save this country from itself, white folks come in and fuck it up and the rest of us have to suffer and bear the brunt of the mess you made. Tale as old as time. Folks need to stay in their lane.
Please stop asking Black women to swoop in and save this nation. Black women only make this look easy. We are tired. Overworked. Underpaid and highly disrespected.
This world treats Black Women like an ATM machine always coming to us for withdrawals and very rarely if ever depositing anything of any value back into who we are. We don’t exist to clean up your messes. We aren’t playing mammy because of mistakes y’all made.
Here is a thought, support Black Women doing whatever the hell Black Women want to do and in turn that will bless this nation. But that’s too radical of a thought, huh?
With you all the way on this, Nerdy. And the best part about Stacey Abrams is that SHE knows exactly what SHE wants to do, to make the most of her value and worth to our country and the democratic ideals she epitomizes through her actions. She’s not fooled by those who think they can just pick her name out of a hat, endorse her, and claim her accomplishments as their own, if that makes sense. Although when I first saw her I wanted her to run for president, I soon learned it wasn’t my choice. You couldn’t miss the fire in her democratic eyes! If she’s willing to put in the ultra-hard work ahead of her, after what she’s already been through, WE need to learn from her and contribute ourselves in our much more mediocre ways … rather than just naming a parade after her and saying she’s “one of us.” She’s clearly beyond that.
Again, if that makes sense. I think I need more coffee after that. ❤
I feel that way about everyone asking Michelle to run for President and trying to guilt her into it as well as asking Barack to endorse or speak up or become a Supreme Court Judge too. When they tell you that is not what they want to do, believe them and just STFU.

Tin Pot Don who likes to pardon his crime pals has decreed a death sentence
on thousands of children
receiving life or death treatment in the United States,
who are part of a program called ‘Medical Deferred Action”.
The children have 4 weeks to leave the country or be deported. No appeals.
Reporting for the 2nd time on this atrocity, Rachel Maddow told about Isabel Bueso who was invited by research doctors to come here from Guatemala when she was 7 years old, 16 years ago. With Isabel’s help in medical trials, doctors have developed an enzyme to treat a rare genetic disease. She came here on faith. She played her part to help science and keep others alive.
–KING DOOM has now inexplicably handed Isabel a certain death sentence.
“Now 24, Bueso has participated in several medical studies. She has won awards for her advocacy on behalf of people with rare diseases, appearing before lawmakers in Washington and in Sacramento…Bueso, whose lower body is paralyzed from the disease, an enzyme disorder that inhibits cells from processing sugars.”
Ms Bueso: “The treatment that I receive keeps me alive.”

I’ll be nervous about hurricanes until Nov. 30, when “the season” ends, because I have grandchildren and great grandchildren in Florida … but with the slightly revised path of Dorian in the news now, people are posting the jokes. When you live in hurricaneville (as I did for nearly 20 years prior), you keep your jokes list ready. BTW, not minimizing any potential damage from Dorian – just trying to keep calm!

UNIONS:
“Nearly two out of three people favor unions in a 50-year polling high.”
“Gallup has been polling approval of unions since 1936, and from that year until 1967, unions were overwhelmingly popular, averaging 68% approval. Since that time, though, “approval has been 10 points lower on average, and has only occasionally surpassed 60%.” But occasionally is now.
According to Gallup’s latest poll on the issue, 64% of Americans approve of unions. That’s the fourth-highest number in 50 years.”

Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America wrote to Trump:
“Imposing tariffs in September on the majority of all footwear products from China — including nearly every type of leather shoe — will make it impossible for hardworking American individuals and families to escape the harm that comes from these tax increases,” the group wrote. “This uncertainty the China trade war has brought to our industry is stifling U.S. growth and halting capital investment in jobs, infrastructure, technologies, and more competitive pricing for our customers.”

–Trump accuses companies he has hurt of falsely claiming the above.
–DOOM is a classic abuser who blames his bloodied and bruised victim: “You made me do it”.
Chinese Retaliation:
After: “Trump in early August announced that he was moving ahead with tariffs on virtually all remaining Chinese imports, Beijing announced that it would impose additional 5% or 10% tariffs on a total of 5,078 product categories from the United States, representing worth about $75 billion annually.
The Chinese move, which also goes into effect in two steps on Sept. 1 and Dec. 15,
targets U.S. crude oil for the first time with a 5% tariff. U.S. soybeans, already subject to a 25% Chinese tariff,
will be hit with an extra 5% tariff on Sept. 1, while beef and pork from the United States will get an extra 10% tariff.
Beijing also will reinstitute a 25% tariff on U.S.-made vehicles and a 5% tariff on auto parts
that it had suspended in December at a time when U.S.-China trade negotiations were gaining momentum.
China already has tariffs in place on about $110 billion worth of U.S. products, ranging from 5% to 25%, including soybeans, beef, pork seafood, vegetables, liquefied natural gas, whiskey and ethanol. Based on 2018 imports, there are only about $10 billion worth of U.S. imports untouched, with the largest category consisting of large commercial aircraft built by Boeing Co.”

If I’m not mistaken, I think we all watched that live on TV, when Ruby killed Oswald.
Yes, indeed. Indelible on our brains, along with all the actions in that season of violence.
And in those days, live TV was a real rarity!!
You are right, and I think the news was live for many extra hours, over the week after we lost JFK.
