"The arc of history as it bends toward justice..." such beautiful words and certainly not just a "honeymoon." Thank you, RH. And of course T is projecting as always his sick cheating onto everyone else...so sad, but utterly intolerable. Edit: and Joe Biden will go into the history books as one of our greatest heroes...couldn't be prouder of him.
As I was reading today's edition of the newsletter about the Iranian hack, I began to wonder if the leaker is possibly tRump himself. He used to call newspapers in NYC, pretending to be a spokesman for himself. Maybe this "leak" is a made up story since it has not been confirmed.
And while we are at it, does it seem weird that the assassination attempt just melted out of the news?Things around tRump get weirder and weirder.
Here’s another great news item for those of us who worry about elections and bad actors. Another bit of confirmation that democracy works - a jury of her peers.
This is a great article! The thing about Trump..he's a narcissist and because of that constantly projects onto others what he does or says himself. Pay attention to how all his comments about Harris and others really can be attributed to his own actions. Note, for example, his talking about cheating, election interference, etc. all things he has done as president. He has behaved this way most of his life and will continue to do so. Never his fault ..it's everybody else. A big part of what makes him so dangerous.
CORRECTION: I would like to recommend, The quiet damage : QAnon and the destruction of the American family by Jesselyn Cook, who wrote an editorial in the Denver Post. I found her research into why QAnon believers hold onto their beliefs very insightful. "Belief in the unbelievable, in many cases, stems from desperation to meet fundamental human needs, such as feeling valued and having purpose." Attempting to convince them of the "truth" is a waste of time.

Regarding "gifted articles" - what I've seen is that the NY Times ones actually let anyone read them, even without an account. But the Washington Post ones require a "free" account before before they let me read them.
I decided a while ago that I would not create an account, nor log into anything I created in the past, on either the NY Times or WaPo, so, yeah... I no longer share anything from WaPo.
Post Script. I don't buy the "Iranian Hack" story at all. Swift Boat Chris LaCivita, and Flood the zone with $hit Bannon are hard at work in their evil obfuscation roles. in this ruse. This provides The Big Loser drumph, with another means of screwing with my peace of mind, along with millions of others. Show solid proof beyond Robert from AOL for gosh sakes! They can't beat us, so they plan to cheat us!
Laughed out loud! “If the Iranians are using an AOL email account to cover their hack, they have a keen sense of American culture, history, and humor.”
I love it. Not a honeymoon. A MOVEMENT. Fueled by grassroots organizers around the nation. OUR WORK MATTERS. And thank you Robert, for giving us a place to hang out.

The Heart Nebula is such a perfect metaphor for the heart this newsletter demonstrates daily, and the ingress to our massive universe through Robert’s philosophical images reassures me that while individual mistakes or missteps are comparatively miniscule, the collective force of our successful efforts matters.
Washington Post definitely owes Hillary Clinton an apology for their treatment of her during 2016. They also owe Joe Biden an apology and they owe ALL of us an apology for their pro-MAGA slant these days.
Looking up at the sky Saturday night to see the Perseid meteors, I was reminded of the photos you send of the heavens. And then I thought: Robert HUBBELL. OMG!
May I assume you are related to Edwin Powell Hubble, of the telescope named for him? Thanks for the great photos - and everything else!
From today’s WaPo Jennifer Rubin article regarding last week’s Trump news conference:
Trump looked tired, worn and wane. He was, as he likes to say, “low energy.” I was hard-pressed to find any report explaining his diminished appearance — in stark contrast to the pile-on after Biden’s debate appearance. Commentator Charles Sykes came closest to capturing the spectacle: Most media accounts do not come close to capturing the wretched shambolism of it all, and some reporters scrabbled desperately for nuggets of coherence in the former president’s rolling gibberish. But I want to come back to the main point: What in G-d’s name did we just watch? For an hour yesterday afternoon, we were subjected to the maunderings of a mind utterly untethered from logic, facts, and decency. Trump clearly suffers from a severe and apparently debilitating case of Crowd Envy.... This Trump, however, was also something else: a rattled, deflated, joyless, and frightened figure. There were the usual insults, fabrications, and lies, but this Trump seemed less menacing than simply old and tired — a man without a single drop of joie d vivre.

Thank you, Robert! Great column today. Always interested to hear your take on what is getting reported as news.

Let’s do this. We are not complacent!

America is a strong country with Democratic Party governance. America is a weak, rogue, terrorist state with a gQp dictatorship.
