Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The only difference between rural Western Pennsylvania of my youth and Utah is that if the girl is over 17, odds are she's married.

Yeah, I always think about how my grandmother wasn't a "teen mom" because she was married! And she was 19 by the time my father was born, so practically over the hill already....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So, apparently, this is going around: 50 U.S. Code ยง 3021. National Security Council

The Council shall be composed of-
(1) the President;
(2) the Vice President;
(3) the Secretary of State;
(4) the Secretary of Defense;
(5) the Secretary of Energy; and
(6) the Secretaries and Under Secretaries of other executive departments and of the military departments, when appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to serve at his pleasure.

Bannon needs to be approved of by the Senate.

It's really just a guideline.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Argh, I am almost out of Adderall and my doctor is apparently no longer with Kaiser; they will call me back some time in the next 5 days to tell me who my new doctor is and (I hope) give me an appointment. Really should have started this process earlier, I guess.

And Gud's FB friend - dude, has it never occurred to him that he is completely unaware of the vast majority of actual situations? It's a pretty private thing.

Ahem.

What I was trying to say, and perhaps it did not come across as I intended, was that I know there are sane and rational individuals who work for DHS and surely that will keep any inter-institutional conflict from going completely off the rails.

Okay, I'm going to eat lunch and then donate some money to some orgs who do work on immigration and support refugees. And then maybe I'll try to do more work?

Now I'm seeing all kinds of stuff about an anti-LGBT Executive Order coming this week. What will be going on behind the scenes while we are out protesting? Stop the planet, I want to get off.

My company CEO--the CEO of the whole corporation, of which my own company is one part--just released a statement saying that anyone affected by the immigration order will have the corporation advocating directly with the STate Department on their behalf and that the company will provide comfort and security wherever they're stranded. #NotAllHumans
