ezs note: In case you missed it, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is one of the few Republicans who tirelessly worked for the rights of transgender citizens. Notably, she is one of the few in her party who did not vote for the abysmal Donald Trump. She is retiring after this term. Goodbye, Ileana - we will miss you!
ezs note: Tennessee residents - please, take a few minutes to call your state representative AND state senator to kill House Bill 1111 / Senate Bill 1085. Thanks.
ezs note: Uh, before you rail against me, I don't find myself in absolute agreement with Seth Andrews on everything. What I do agree with him is the blissful ignorance so many Americans find themselves in, from what the founding fathers actually said, the disagreements they fought
(verbally) over, even the states they would put on a blank US map. This leads us to a parlous state. Listen to Seth's address below.
ezs note: Normally, I scan the blogs to see who might be interested in Emily's Virtual Rocket, but I ran across photos so arrestingly beautiful I had to share them with you. They're at http://businessecon.blogspot.com. Thanks.
ezs note: If you can make it to where your state capitol is, please do so. If you just can't, please call your state representative and state senator. Thanks.
ezs note: YOU can make the difference in rejecting Mark Green for Army secretary. Call the two Senators (remember, there are two from every state) and let him/her know that you are AGAINST the nomination. If you are a retired or active servicemember, it's that much better. Contact www.senate.govto get further information.
ezs note: Okay - I know it's a long shot - really long - but if you have solid - rock solid - couldn't-cut-it-with-a-diamond solid evidence, then you should look over SecureDrop. Do not contact me. This is between you and SecureDrop - no one else.
