Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer took to X on Tuesday to say that she is taking the federal government to court over the administration's "illegal" attempt to restrict mail-in voting despite court orders. Michigan joined a group of states challenging a new USPS rule that they say could make it harder for eligible voters to receive mail ballots.

I just saw something from the state of Texas which is being circulated. It was a form to exempt yourself or your kids from required vaccines, including the vaccines we all got when we were kids like polio. It allows someone to check off which vaccines they DON'T want their kid to get. It also applies to adults who are studying to work in fields such as healthcare, where some vaccines are required. This form allows people to exempt themselves from those vaccines in the state of Texas.

I'm absolutely mindblown by this, even though I understand that Texas is already a place with a lot of anti-vaxxers. It still blows my mind to actually see a physical document where people can actually choose not to have their kid vaccinated before they can attend school. Texas is having a measles outbreak right now because of people refusing to vaccinate their kids. Why do they want their kids to be at risk of getting illnesses which have mostly been eradicated? It just doesn't make sense! 

This wasn't about the Covid vaccine at all, it listed things like measles, polio, mumps, tetanus, diptheria, pertussis, and hepatitis. People actually want their kids to NOT be protected against those things.

I was a kid in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s. When I was growing up, I never knew anyone who had the measles. Polio was something our parents talked about because people in their generation got sick and died from it, but my generation didn't even have to think about polio because we got vaccinated for it, so it was pretty much non-existent in my generation. I'm so grateful I got to grow up in THAT world and not the world my parents grew up in. People in my parents' generation had to suffer through measles, mumps, pertussis, and polio. Many people died. But my generation didn't even have to THINK about those diseases because we had vaccines to protect us.

Why do people want to go back to a world where people have to suffer through those diseases instead of the world I grew up in, where those diseases didn't even exist? Why would anyone choose a world with horrible diseases instead of a world without them? Make it make sense! I know it's only going to keep getting worse, but I truly want to understand what motivates these people to want to put themselves and their kids at risk of illnesses which they don't have to be at risk for!

Amy Slavensky for CA Assembly District 7 near Sacramento. Amy devoted 40 years to California's public schools as a teacher, principal, and superintendent, all while raising her own children...

https://www.amyslavensky.com/

Amy was born and raised right here in District 7, in Fair Oaks and Carmichael.

She attended public schools, grew up on food stamps, Medi-Cal, and subsidized housing, learning early that public systems and education can be the difference between stability and falling through the cracks.

Amy devoted 40 years to California's public schools as a teacher, principal, and superintendent, all while raising her own children, often as her family's primary breadwinner. She has led schools in communities ranging from high-poverty urban districts to small rural counties, always centering the students and families who needed the most support while maintaining a focus on all students.

As superintendent of Amador County Unified School District, before and during the COVID pandemic, Amy led the school community through crises — facing political pressure, personal threats, and hard budget decisions — and always made the calls she believed were right, not the ones that were easy or popular. As deputy superintendent at San Juan Unified School District, she was known as a problem solver, collaborator and leader who was not afraid to make hard decisions to support staff and keep students at the center.

Amy is running for Assembly because the issues she has spent her life working on — education, affordability, healthcare, and the strength of our public institutions — have never been more urgent. She is ready to bring that experience, and that sense of urgency, to Sacramento.

What if millions of MAGA Morons woke up and realized that they'd made a mistake voting for Trump... And then they joined the majority of Americans that think he should be removed from office... To reach any US senator's Washington, D.C. office directly, call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. An operator will ask for your senator's name and connect you immediately. 

as soon as Congress REJECTS TRUMP then Impeachment can Start... Followed by Conviction and PRISON...

there's going to be some kind of wrestling match at the White House... And it certainly going to be televised... What if there was a lot of screaming noise makers in the audience?

A new political showdown is taking shape in Washington as progressive groups and Democratic lawmakers prepare an alternative gathering to challenge President Trump’s State of the Union message. While some party leaders are still expected to attend the official address, others plan to highlight policy opposition through a separate public event. The competing narratives are intensifying partisan messaging ahead of a major national moment. Analysts say the split strategy reflects broader political polarization, with the response likely to influence public perception and spark reactions across the national political landscape. #StateOfTheUnion #DonaldTrump #Democrats #USPolitics #WashingtonDC #PoliticalDivide

There is a kind of grief that doesn’t come from losing a person. It comes from watching your country become unrecognizable while everyone insists everything is fine.

I think a lot of Americans are carrying that grief right now.

We’re exhausted. Not just from politics, but from the constant outrage, the endless division, the feeling that truth has become optional and cruelty has become entertainment. Every day seems to bring another headline that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, and somehow we’re expected to scroll past it like it’s normal.

It’s a strange kind of emptiness. The kind that comes from loving something enough to mourn what it’s becoming.

Some people feel like they no longer recognize the party they grew up supporting. Others feel like they no longer recognize their neighbors. Some wonder if the values they were taught as children, honesty, decency, accountability, compassion, even matter anymore.

This isn’t about wanting America to fail. It’s the opposite.

You don’t grieve something you hate. You grieve something you love.

I still believe this country is worth fighting for. Not because it’s perfect, but because it has always been at its best when ordinary people refused to accept that injustice was inevitable. Every generation has been asked what kind of nation it wanted to leave behind. Now it’s our turn.

Maybe what so many of us are feeling isn’t hopelessness.

Maybe it’s heartbreak.

And heartbreak means there’s still something left worth saving.

Journalism: My Favorite Class in College. To Actually "BE" Woodward & Bernstein for a Semester. I Interviewed June Moxon & Went to an Earth First Tree Sit Eviction.

June is one of the Main People at the Kinetic Sculpture Race. She was Holding a Fundraiser Open House at the Kinetic Sculpture Laboratory and I Published my Interview BEFORE THE EVENT so Maybe Students That Read the Lumberjack Newspaper WERE MOTIVATED to buy a ticket and Go... My Article Might have Helped Finance the Event! and The RACE!


I Learned a Couple of things in that Class.

If You see Something and Say Something that's an "Opinion" Piece. If You Ask Three People What They Saw... That's a "News" Piece.

I Also Learned to Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE SENTENCE. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE PARAGRAPH. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in the Rest of the Article...

The Reader May decide that the Subject is NOT INTERESTING after One Sentence... and Move on to the Next Article... OR they May Read One Paragraph... and then Move on... RARELY do they Read More than That...

I took that Class because My Guidance Councillor said That The Lumberjack Newspaper was Going to Create an Online Edition and the Journalism Department Needed some Computer Experts to Help Them...

Dr. Hal Campbell Said: "This will be an excellent REAL WORLD Learning Experience. Someone Wants Something Done On the Computer... and You are Hired to Make it Happen."

MY NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
Tree Sit Ecology Protest at Freshwater, near Eureka, CA 2003 - Earth First! - Complete Text of a Newspaper Article I wrote for the Humboldt State University Lumberjack. and Photographs...

HEADLINE: 8 arrested March 18th in Freshwater tree-sit. Trees chainsawed to death.

Freshwater Clearcut Logging near Eureka, CA

This morning I drove to Beautiful Freshwater (near Eureka, California) to visit the Tree Sitters. There were 10 sheriff's cars and 5 highway patrol cars. I saw 3 people handcuffed and then put in a sheriff's van. One person down the road was handcuffed and in the custody of a different sheriff. This lady was wearing "press" dogtags and was complaining that all she was doing was taking photographs. There were about 40 people standing around, talking on cell phones and playing drums. I could hear the sound of chainsawing. Then a large tree fell over. It makes a tearing sound then a big thump and a wail arose from the people. When four highway patrol cars stopped in the middle of the crowd and turned on their spinning lights, I left.(I was afraid of the police...protect and serve...corporations) As I was walking to my truck I noticed another highway patrolman writing tickets. I asked a citizen what that was all about and he said "don't worry about getting a parking ticket, none of these people will pay them anyway". I am concerned about the highway patrol being there. THERE CLEARLY WERE NO HIGHWAY RELATED PROBLEMS THERE. What's up with parking tickets? We were in the middle of the forest.









...this part written later that night...
We went to a protest to defend redwood trees today. There are 8 people that are camping at the top of redwood trees to prevent loggers from chainsawing the trees. The owners of the forest (Palco/MAXXAM) hired a guy (eric schatz)to climb up the trees and forcibly evict the trespassers. Then the Humboldt county sheriff's arrest the tree-sitters and send them to jail. Yesterday, there were 7 tree sitters and the police arrested 3 people. Then, during the night, 4 people went up. The grand total of people INCREASED. The loggers started chainsawing at the bottom of a tree that had people camping in it. This action enraged the crowd. We feel that if a logger cuts down a tree with a person in it that it is dangerous to that person. The loggers cut away a 2 foot circle of bark all the way around the tree. Someone said that was called "girthing" and the purpose was to kill the tree. My wife decided that some medicine was needed for the tree, so we went to the hardware store and bought a bucket of "tree wound" compound. It is used to seal the bare wood after pruning. We drove back to the ecology protest and she (with help from others) spread the healing compound on the bare wood. I got to spend a lot of time talking to a knowledgeable fellow named "Atilla". He said that the MAXXAM corporation has to cut down redwood trees in order to pay the interest on a giant "junk bond" debt. MAXXAM, a texas corporation, purchased the Pacific Lumber Company about 10 years ago in a hostile takeover financed by "junk bonds" that they got from Mike Milken. (remember, Ivan Boesky and Mike went to jail for wall street fraud) I saw on the News tonight that our governor, Gray Davis, has ordered the highway patrol to work 12 hour shifts to help defend the state of California from "terrorist" attacks. GEE, WHY WERE ALL THOSE CHPs OUT IN THE FOREST TODAY ? WHAT TERRORIST ATTACKS WERE THEY DEFENDING US FROM ? Atilla also told me why there were large trucks that look like they carry sand. They are used to haul gravel to build logging roads. After I left the protest in the morning, I drove way back into the woods and noticed large orange trucks with PALCO on the doors. The reason Palco hired a subcontractor (eric schatz)to do "tree service" is to protect themselves from lawsuits in case anyone gets hurt.
How to get there: From highway 101 traveling North, Take the Myrtle ave exit in Eureka and drive to Freshwater road. Take a right and then an IMMEDIATE left onto Greenwood Heights road. Drive 2 miles. When you see all the sheriff cars, you are there. From Arcata, travel south on 101 to Indianola cutoff. Take a left and drive to Myrtle ave. Take a right on Myrtle. Left on Freshwater road.

Silly Story!

A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger,

“What would you want to talk about?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”

“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”

The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”

To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”
