VMI Removes Stonewall Jackson Statue
The statue’s removal is part of a series of major changes at the school, including the resignation of the institute’s longtime superintendent Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III and the call for an investigation by Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, another VMI alumnus. Peay was replaced by Cedric Rims, the first Black superintendent to lead the school. VMI also pledged to create an office of diversity, eliminating its status as the lone state-supported college or university in Virginia without an office of inclusion or diversity.
VMI’s student body of 1,698 is six percent Black, according to the State Council of Higher Education For Virginia.
The school will need a lot more time to remove actual white supremacy from the campus.
On first day, L.A. County D.A. George Gascón eliminates bail – Los Angeles Times
Under the policy Gascón laid out, beginning Jan. 1, the use of cash bail will end in L.A. County. Instead, prosecutors will be directed to ask judges to release defendants while their cases move through the courts, except when someone is accused of homicide or a small number of other serious crimes. In those cases, prosecutors will seek to have defendants kept in custody. Source: On first day, L.A. County D.A. George Gascón eliminates bail – Los Angeles Times

That Day!!!!

She woke up suddenly and felt a deep mix feeling of all sorts of emotions.
Her heart was filled with desolation as well as a pinch of excitement too!!
She saw all airbags, suitcases, luggagges around her bed and a drop of tear rolled down her eyes!!
She got lost into deep rumination for a bit, but was heckled by a voice from behind “Daughter, get up and get ready fast! We are running out of time, need to catch train’
By hearing those words another few tear drops poured out…
She felt like ceasing the moment and not to let it progress atall!!
But then she snubbed the thoughts and prepared herself to be ready to catch the train with her parents!!
As the speed of train was rocketing, her heart beat was at full tilt!!
Body was palpitating with full sweat!!
Finally train reached to its destination thus…

Both Sides Don’t, Politico
It’s not Washington that must act, it is the Republicans who must act, and more specifically it is amply be-chinned Mitch McConnell who must act. Don’t try to Both Sides this on-coming humanitarian and financial crisis during a pandemic.
McConnell has been sitting on multiple relief bills for close to 9 months and doing nothing. We could have the Trump-Virus relief bill behinds us right now, this very moment if Mitch McConnell gave on good goddamn, but he doesn’t.
The Lunchtime Stupid
Depends upon how the media frame it
My spidey senses went into the Danger Zone reading this blurb from the Politico afternoon email thingie:
A COUNTRY FALLING APART … WILL WASHINGTON ACT? … “Millions of Americans are heading into the holidays unemployed and over $5,000 behind on rent,”by WaPo’s Heather Long: “Nearly 12 million renters will owe an average of $5,850 in back rent and utilities by January, Moody’s Analytics warns. Last month 9 million renters said they were behind on rent … The numbers were especially high for families with children, with 21 percent falling behind on rent, and among families of color.”
It’s not Washington that must act, it is the Republicans who must act, and more specifically it is amply be-chinnedMitch McConnell who must act. Don’t try to Both Sides this on-coming humanitarian and financial crisis during a pandemic.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — By Hook Or By Book

President Roosevelt was right to call it a date that will live in infamy.’ But for my fellow survivors and me, it is also alive in memory, like shrapnel left embedded in our brains because the surgeon thought it too dangerous to operate. These memories lie within me, forever still and silent, like the men […]

“I’ll tell you there is so much more than I now know after having personally having COVID,” Ruhle said. “Most importantly, we don’t have a vaccine today. We have a virus that is ravaging our country and we need to do a whole lot more to stop it.”
Ruhle added that “as a person who is sick and scared, I am telling you: Please take this seriously. It is not over.”
