The horse-riding librarians of the Pack Horse Library Project in Hindman, Kentucky, around 1940. This was a genuine New Deal initiative established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression.

We lost an American icon and all around amazing human today.
Dolly Parton was the best possible human being; funny, generous, humble, wicked smart.
Oh yeah, she wrote some beautiful music too. A giant! Such a loss.

If you live in a state that allows mail in voting, do NOT mail your ballot in. We can no longer trust the postal service. Take it to an official drop box (assuming those aren't outlawed...) and please do still vote.

Almost $12 TRILLION of our $40 TRILLION National debt has occurred under the Trump presidencies. In just 5 1/2 years out of the 250 our country has existed, one president and his "helpers" has increased our debt by almost a third.

Never in my wildest dreams will I believe we need a ballroom for national security. How can they say these things with a straight face...most corrupt government we have ever had.

Trump’s Ballroom Is Rising at Breakneck Speed: 20 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week
Although the fate of the ballroom is tied up in court, the Trump administration argues that the project is too far along to be stopped now.

Sometimes, I dream of a world where the entire GOP just fell over dead. This party has become evil, by action and inaction, avarice and cruelty.

The entire Republican party is working together to destroy Democracy and the United States of America. All of them. May they burn in hell for eternity, sooner than later.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever.
The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

I celebrate our 250th - the possibility of a better future with equality of opportunity, the ideal that "all humans are created equal".
This ideal is now and has always been worth pursueing and a journey worth taking.
Make a better place to live.

Today I feel at my lowest. A never ending stream of criminal acts is being commited by our government. The entire Republican Party and about 35% of our population is complicit.
The US is being bankrupted financially and morally. Our Constitution is on fire.
Where is the outrage?
