We can Do Better Wednesdays, & A Cure for Loneliness?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

A question from (the now removed) chapter 6:

From food pantries to our own food, steps can be designed to build in that way,
also, as networks of volunteers design systems of daily food distribution, starting with
individuals, and working up to entire towns and cities, so that no one is ever forgotten, left out,
or entirely alone.

What ways can you think of to ensure that no one is ever left out?

Aqui, além, pelo mundo,

ossos, nomes, letras, poeira..

Onde os rostos? onde as almas?

Nem os herdeiros recordam

rastro nenhum pelo chão

Ó grandes muros sem eco,

presídio de sal e treva

onde os homens pade padeceram

sua vasta solidão…”

Russian Elites, Proxies, and Oligarchs Task Force Joint Statement | OPA | Department of Justice

In the 100 days since the Finance, Justice, Home Affairs, and Trade Ministers and European Commissioners committed to prioritizing resources and working together to isolate sanctioned Russians from the international financial system, REPO members have:

  • Blocked or frozen more than $30 billion worth of sanctioned Russians’ assets in financial accounts and economic resources.
  • Immobilized about $300 billion worth of Russian Central Bank assets.
  • Seized, frozen, or detained yachts and other vessels owned, held, or controlled by sanctioned Russians, including the Amadea, the Tango, the Amore Vero, the Rahil, and the Phi.
  • Seized or frozen luxury real estate owned, held, or controlled by sanctioned Russians.
  • Restricted Russia’s access to the global financial system, making it more difficult for Russia to procure technology necessary to sustain its unjust war in Ukraine.

Ohio Man Sentenced to Prison for Threatening Reproductive Health Services Facility and an Individual Patient | OPA | Department of Justice

An Ohio man was sentenced in federal court today to one year and one day in prison and three years of supervised release for interstate threats; and concurrently to 10 months in prison and one year of supervised release for Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act charges, for threatening to bring a bomb to a local reproductive health services facility.

Carlos Manuel Rodriguez Brime, 26, of Columbus, also threatened to kill a patient whom he believed was seeking reproductive health services, specifically an abortion, at the clinic.

On April 11, 2021, Brime made two separate telephone calls to the local reproductive health care clinic. In the first, he made a death threat relating to the prospective patient and in the second, he made a bomb threat directly to the clinic, telling the clinic staff “my organization will be bringing a bomb to your facility. I suggest you close your doors.”

Specifically, Brime admitted to violating the FACE Act – which makes it a federal crime to threaten the use of force to intimidate anyone receiving or providing reproductive health services – and to transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.

A Jaw-Dropping Two Hours

Filosofa's Word

Yesterday afternoon, I spent just over two hours glued to my computer watching the latest of the January 6th committee hearings … one that had been called spontaneously just the day before.  Some of what we saw was not particularly surprising, in light of what we’ve already learned.  But some … was simply jaw-dropping.

The witness yesterday was Cassidy Hutchinson, who was an assistant to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.  She was in a position to see and hear a lot, and yesterday she told us some of what had transpired in the days leading up to and on January 6th 2021.  The first thing that really grabbed me was her testimony that before giving his speech at the Ellipse on January 6th, Trump looked at footage of the crowds and complained that there weren’t enough people.  He was informed that most people had…
