A Dance to Revolution...

Jules Feiffer featured a famous recurring "Dancer" character in his satirical The Village Voice comic strip starting in 1957. The minimalist, expressive modern dancer was used to skewer politics, social anxieties, and cultural shifts through 2000.

Trump delivers a nothing Burger again...


Well… that was exactly what we were promised—another serving of absolutely nothing.

Last night’s speech produced no credible evidence, no bombshell revelations, and no surprises. Just another performance designed to keep the conspiracy machine humming and the most devoted members of his base convinced that this time the proof is right around the corner.

Looks like it’s nothing burgers again, kids.

On FaceBorg I Read:
This is your reminder to record your mama. Record her around the kitchen, ask her why she used chicken broth instead of water, or why she does or doesn’t use velveeta and record that. Record her fussing about the same old stuff like she always does, prank her and record that. Record her funny sayings and her bits of advice. Ask her to tell you about the day you were born and record her face as she lights up remembering. Record her telling you to put some socks on that baby and when she tells y’all don’t go in her pots without washing your hands. Ask her questions, both serious and silly ones, and record her answers. Play her favorite song and when she starts dancing/singing, yep, you guessed it… record it. Make her laugh…I mean REALLY laugh and for the love of God, record that, too. And take lots of pictures of and WITH her, even when she tells you she’s not dressed for pictures. Take them anyway. Record it anyway. And when you get the chance, tell her you know she did her best with what she had and her best was always enough. And if you want, record that, too.
I hope this hits you in just the right spot and you take heed, because the day will come when there is a longing so deep to just hear her voice, her laugh, see her as she was…and when that day comes, you’ll pull out your recordings and feel just a little bit of her again

I saved all my father's emails... during his last years we bought him an Apple and he used it daily to chat with the family... precious... he got to see movies of his great grandchildren... etc etc etc

My Father and I had a Couple of Adventures during his last years... I drove him around and we explored many interesting places... including... Apollo Heights in Saratoga, California. A Subdivision that he Created... He bought the Bare Land, had water, electricity and a road built... and then he sold plots for people to build houses overlooking the Santa Clara Valley... Quite an Achievement...

Chuck Schumer's Words after the Government Funding Bill was Passed were Memorable.

Madam President, it has been a day full of twists and turns, but the American people can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be no government shutdown. Democrats have said from the start that the only solution for avoiding a shutdown is bipartisanship, and we are glad that Speaker MCCARTHY has finally heeded our message. In the end, more Democrats supported this bill in the House than Republicans, proving bipartisanship was the best answer all along. I want to thank my colleagues here in the Senate, especially our appropriators, the Presiding Officer and SUSAN COLLINS and Leader MCCONNELL. Our bipartisan work in the Senate set the tone for the bill we are about to pass. Our bipartisanship made this possible and showed the House that they had to act. We will keep the government open for 45 days with a clean CR at current funding levels, and we avoided all of the extreme, nasty, and harmful cuts MAGA Republicans wanted. No 30 percent cuts across the board; no 30 percent cuts to things like healthcare, to the Social Security Administration, to the nutrition programs for kids; full reauthorization of the FAA until December 31; and the poison pill amendments, of which there were scores—MAGA-inspired riders—were all removed from the bill. After trying to take our government hostage, MAGA Republicans won nothing. So one more time, it is good Speaker MCCARTHY finally—finally—heeded our message that bipartisanship was and is and remains the only way. He could have made this decision weeks ago. Now, I have said from day one, this is a bridge CR, a temporary solution, not the final destination. We will not stop fighting for more economic and security assistance for Ukraine. Majorities in both parties support Ukraine aid, and doing more is vital for America’s security and for democracy around the world. But this CR is still very good news for the American people. Today, MAGA extremists have failed, bipartisanship has prevailed, and both parties have come together to avert a shutdown. Once again, thank you to Leader MCCONNELL, Appropriations Chair PATTY MURRAY, Vice Chair SUSAN COLLINS, and Members on both sides of the aisle who came together. Today’s CR would not have been possible without the Senate’s good work. The Senate showed that bipartisanship was the only way, and the same will be true again in 45 days.

Did you know that the hippie movement, which gained momentum in the 1960s, was a cultural revolution that not only embraced peace, love, and freedom but also had a profound impact on music, fashion, and society? Hippies were known for rejecting mainstream values and advocating for a lifestyle based on communal living, environmentalism, and artistic expression. With iconic festivals like Woodstock in 1969, the movement was deeply intertwined with music—especially rock, folk, and psychedelic genres, with bands like The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, and The Grateful Dead becoming emblematic of the era. Hippies believed in unity and peace, opposing war and social inequality, and their influence can still be felt today in various aspects of modern culture.
Robert Reich

Friends,
At the same time Democrats and progressives are justifiably enraged at Trump’s gonzo Cabinet picks, they’re all but mute about corporate America’s continued siphoning of economic gains to the top.
Yet this siphoning has created the stagnant wages and insecure jobs that helped propel Trump into the presidency and give Republicans control over both chambers of Congress.
Trump at least gave workers an explanation for what’s happened to them — although it was a lie: It isn’t undocumented immigrants or the “deep state” or transgender kids or any other Trump bogeyman.
It’s corporate greed.
The most recent example: In November, GM announced it was laying off 1,000 workers. These layoffs followed another round of GM layoffs in August, which saw 1,500 jobs cut. The cuts affected both salaried and hourly staff, including some United Auto Workers members.
Most of the workers being laid off were notified via email. Some had been working for GM for over thirty years.
GM says it has no choice. It must cut costs.
This is what we hear again and again from corporate America. We’ll be hearing even more of this as Artificial Intelligence takes over white-collar as well as blue-collar jobs.
No choice?
GM is on track for making record profits this year, surpassing its 2022 record profit of $14.5 billion. In the third quarter of 2024 alone, GM made $3.4 billion. That’s a $200 million increase from the same period last year.
GM CEO Mary Barra’s compensation for 2024 is $27.8 million. This includes a base salary of $2.1 million, stock awards of $14.6 million, stock option awards valued at $4.9 million, an “incentive plan” compensation (as if she needed more incentive) of $5.3 million, other payment of $997,392, and perks (personal travel, security, financial counseling, company vehicles, and an executive health plan) valued at $389,005.
The ratio of Barra’s compensation to that of the typical GM employee is estimated to be 303-to-1.
In June, GM announced $6 billion in stock buybacks. This means $6 billion of GM’s record profits will be used to purchase its own shares of stock — thereby boosting share prices (and the portion of Barra’s compensation in stock grants and options) simply because fewer shares of GM stock will be in circulation.
Keep in mind that the richest 1 percent of American hold over half of the value of all shares of stock held by Americans, and the richest 10 percent hold 92 percent.
So, in fact, GM’s savings from axing 1,000 jobs will be transferred into the pockets of wealthy Americans (including GM’s CEO).
Why aren’t Democrats up in arms about this? I haven’t heard Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, or any other leading Democrat say a critical word about GM’s latest move.
Why isn’t Michigan’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer — who may be in the running for president in 2028 (assuming we have another election) — accusing GM of sacrificing jobs for profits that are siphoned off to big investors?
Why aren’t Democrats, who still control the Senate and presidency, moving more aggressively to outlaw stock buybacks — which were considered illegal stock manipulations before Ronald Reagan’s SEC gave them the green light?
Why aren’t they demanding that capital gains taxes be increased on the super-wealthy, whose stock gains this year alone have made America’s billionaires 30 percent richer?
Why aren’t they moving to increase corporate taxes on corporations whose ratio of CEO pay to their median workers is more than 50 to 1? And impose even higher taxes if the ratio exceeds 100 to 1? (Senate Budget Committee Chair Sheldon Whitehouse, along with Representatives Barbara Lee and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have introduced just such a bill, but no one knows about it. Why isn’t the Democratic leadership loudly pushing this?)
The lesson of the debacle of the 2024 election is that big corporations and the wealthy have shafted average working Americans, whose wages and jobs have gone nowhere for decades and who are understandably frustrated and angry at what they see as a rigged system.
But Democrats have offered no alternative explanation for what’s happened to average working people or agenda for remedying it. Trump's baseless explanation and agenda are the only ones available. So it’s no surprise that many working Americans voted for Trump on Election Day.
Now Trump and his Republican stooges think they’ve been given a license to blow the system up — initially by appointing a bunch of clowns, conspiracy theorists, and alleged sexual predators to key posts.
It’s important to rail against Trump’s appointments. But unless we attack the sources of the outrage Trump has tapped into, working Americans will continue to go along with whatever Trump and his lapdogs want to do.
What do you think?

West Valley Junior College - Saratoga, California 1970s

Students on the campus lawn at WEST VALLEY COLLEGE in Saratoga. (1970s)

Gregory Laan
I went to West Valley in 1975 and studied electronics drafting. After one year I was able to get a job as an Electronics draftsman at System Industries in Santa Clara... One of the classes I took was scale model building. I took the blueprints from a cabin that my father was having built at Lake Tahoe and made a scale model before the cabin was built... And he was able to show off the scale model to his friends and say: "See? this is what I'm building at Lake Tahoe." - I still own that scale model...

My first wife and I took a night class in stained glass window making at a different West Valley campus... That was really great because I made a stained glass window and we still own it! 
That campus was located near some railroad tracks and a drive-in movie theater... That was showing "Carrie" ... And you could walk down the railroad tracks and watch the movie without paying... 

I never attended the University of Campbell Latimer Avenue (UCLA)
