If any of you here don't watch Heather's FB live lectures, I encourage you to do so. Tuesday's zeroed on (at about minute 30) on why the Jan. 6th hearings are so critical and why the GOP is so freaked out over them. As she put it, "This is where the rubber meets the road", in that the lies that have been bandied about by the Right, never under oath, are meeting the truth, under oath, from witnesses who have nothing to gain. It certainly put things into a new perspective for me.

Also, since even the MSM insists on using false equivalence in their coverage, or at the very least, give the Right face time in their reporting, the fact that Heather reminds us that Jim Jordan can blather on lie after lie on TV and pay no price, but once he's under oath, it's a different ball game entirely. They all know this, and, lily-livered sniveling worms that they are, they are terrified.

Morning, all!! Morning, Dr. R!! While I am delighted by the progress that has been made, dividing the concept of infrastructure between hard and soft makes me chuckle. Why bother to have one -- roads and bridges -- without the other -- supporting the people who need to be able to use them. Just MHO.

Meanwhile, back to January 6 with the DOJ "clearing a path" towards accountability:

As well, today, July 29, a 25-ft 5,000-pound totem pole carved by the House of Tears Carvers of the Lummi Nation will conclude its cross-country journey in Washington, DC. The totem pole will be on view July 29–31, 2021, near the Smithsonian"s National Museum of the American Indian entrance. Their journey started on July 14 in Washington State, with stops at sacred sites in Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Michigan. Their purpose is to highlight the need for awareness about Indigenous "struggles to protect water, land, sacred sites, and [Indigenous People's] collective future."
