The US Capitol recently had a new statue installed. Worth the read.

Don't know if this belongs here or in the covid thread, but Dr. Fauci is going to retire at the end of Biden's term:

Isn't the man 80? Definitely time to retire and enjoy whatever time is left.

Lol, this thread. I'm excited to see who this is as I follow way too many DC-based journalists on Twitter.

I just got a text inviting me to a rally including speakers Etic Schmitt and Ted Cruz.
😒
They are sending a WIDE net to get whoever they can, apparently.

Have you all read the interim report on Uvalde?
I don't want to link or embed because all headlines and photos can be hard to see.
If you get a chance to read it, very chilling about the shooters history.
I am not sure how I would have handled being a teenager and hearing these things.
ETA as all I keep thinking why didn't anyone stop him. These poor families must have added trauma reading this report.

I'm feeling very hopeless about climate change today. After a pandemic where the general populace of this country has proven they don't give a shit about anything but their comfort...IDK.

richard, people don't give a shit on the individual level, and there is exactly no urgency or compulsion to do anything at the level of leadership. We are about to drive by the last off ramps at 90 mph.
