This is off topic, but I just received this in my email:

The iconic photograph from 1945 by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press of U.S. Marines of the 28th Regiment, 5th Division, raising the American flag atop Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, sat for years on a Pentagon web page honoring the contributions of Native Americans who served in World War II.

Earlier the Air Farce removed, then replaced, the Tuskogee Airmen,

But it has hit home this "war on DEI" is about erasure and white supremacy. MAGA is setting about erasing all history of non white heterosexual male Christians. Period

This is indeed 1933 redux, only in 1933 Germany was in economic doldrums, We are a consumer power house (but not for long,not for long).

I haven't thought about daydreams since I was a teen, then I would sit bored in class, look out the window and daydream, about what I cannot remember. I wonder if kids today day dream or are they so addicted to the tiny screen that they think about nothing else,except the next DM or tweet.

Of nightmares I can remember nothing, but I can remember dreaming of flying, but that was a half century or ago, maybe earlier.

One thing you said, struck home. Nightmares, we are living in one, as everything around us our institutions, are rights, our safety and security and that of the world of other peoples who live so far from us are suffering and will suffer more.

This makes me wonder if this god so many believe in, is not some kind of psychic vampire

for which Earth is a garden of pain, anguish and misery off which it feeds, not only human anguish, fear and pain, but the cattle that walk into the abattoir, the antelope taken down by the lion, and even the mouse that is killed by my cat.

I wonder.

How can that which is supposed to be merciful, kind, loving and just be so cruel,unkind, unloving and unjust.

I wonder.
