A security guard with "SECURITY" written in yellow letters on a black jacket removes the American flag as the sun sets behind him.

While watching another beautiful NM sunset, following a day of learning about horrible SNAP and WIC budget cuts, I watched this guard honorably, diligently take down the American flag for the night. It felt poignant - the sunsetting on our security and social safety nets.

Love this! I tried logging on again 15 years ago (?) and got stuck in the broom closet. To be fair, my IRL bedroom now looks almost exactly as my character's room 33 years ago. I'll take it.

I spent the last two days in a conference learning about the anticpated, soon-to-be-realized impacts of the SNAP and WIC cuts. They are devastating. Combined with the cuts to Medicare, they may be insurmountable. GOP calculus that hungry, sick people won't fight back is going to be their downfall.

LambdaMoo on Telnet (parc xerox) consumed soooo many hours of my life. No shame.

Now do the amount of people with credible sexual assault claims made against them in the Trump administration.

So you're saying you took the take, but aren't sure whose take you took? At least you're truthful about taken take.

(Sorry. I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, and it shows)

Ok, if not a take, accurate process description? :)

No love lost for ICE Barbie's outster, but this take is spot on. Especially when Step 5 is "Hire white Christian Nationalist men"

And therein lies the rub. "As long as this government does not interfere."

But, but...cimate change is a myth! This is probably just those "big green" scientists looking that grant money this administration is handing out like candy. /s

Every damn day is "uncharted territory." It reminds me of playing Oregon Trail and every turn someone dies of dysentery, starvation, snake bite, etc. Uncharted territory fun!

As an American of Honduran descent, I dislike Hillary because of her alignment with Kissinger, and validation of the coup against Zelaya by criminals. But I still voted for her in the general because by that point, my vote is transactional, and Trump was a horrible option.

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

Nope! My bestie since college and I are flying out for my birthday weekend. (Although, tbh, not thrilled to be flying - especially to FL - at the moment).

Having made that I-10 drive countless times, whole crew in tow, I empathized with your pain. This trip feels decadent in comparison.

I'm headed to Sanibel island later this week (from ABQ). So looking forward to being by the ocean.

The power filling the void created by the assassination of Khamenei is the remaining leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Even senior clerics fear the Guard.

They love chaos, and that's just what they're going to get, because they just killed the likely successors. They don't know how deep, or where, the bench goes from here, and I think they're spinning it as "We took out even more 'bad guys' than we intended. Win-win." But sane people know better.

Just heartbreaking. Losing one of my kids would destroy me.
