There is a new Hunger Games novel--Sunrise on the Reaping--and it's the anti-AI, anti authoritarian reading I want for next weekend.
A friend sent me this explainer on the Insurrection Act, which may be invoked as early as April 20th, and it is fucking terrifying.
I'm signing on to a letter at work urging our college leadership to proactively seek out other small colleges to launch a cooperative defense. This is such a generous and ingenious initiative and I'm so proud to call the lead author a friend.

You made the news!!!
I hope the smaller colleges can band together to make a stand.
Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Three cheers on your "news coverage!"
Love that you can spot yourself and your friend in the news coverage of the event. I am going to read about this insurrection act but am terrified to do so…
I read the link about the Insurrection Act. I want to sign up to be a disorderly clown!!!
These are such frightening times...
I knew that was you! LOL
Thanks for the link. I'm not sure how I feel about the author's strategy, but I'll read it again and think about it.
I haven’t read the link yet but I shall. I am really hoping that all of this worry about insurrection act and Marshall law and so on is unfounded. It doesn’t FEEL unfounded though.
:P
And I hope so too, Nicole... not to sound dramatic, but I do believe it's our only hope of survival.
Ha. Thanks Jeanie.
I thought there were some good ideas in the article for resistance, so it was not all doom and gloom, Lisa.
Me too, Jenny! I can fill my pockets with lots of random stuff lol
TRULY!!
Nance--I know you're joking, but I did NOT recognize myself from that angle (and was dismayed that my trichotillomania had left a permanent track in my scalp).
Fingers crossed it doesn't come to pass. And now I'm in two minds about the proposed 4/19 protest. Will it show T that the people will not be messed with or give him the excuse to put the IA into effect on 4/20?
Funny.
:)
