In Search of Sungudogo by Greg Laden.

Sometimes called the "fourth African ape," Sungudogo is not a Gorilla, not a Chimpanzee, not a Bonobo, and possibly not even real. Years ago, Sungudogo drew the interest of the world famous primatologist Dieter Phillips, who was funded by a secret society of "scholars and gentlemen" to launch an expedition to determine the veracity of this mysterious primate. Dieter never returned from that expedition, and as the years passed, the whole story drifted into obscurity. But the watchers were always watching, always waiting, for clues of the fate of this expedition. When new evidence came to light, the investigation was renewed into the outcome of Phillip's ill fated trek into the Rain Forest. Who better to follow Dieter Phillip's tracks than his former student, aided by an explorer and mercenary familiar with the area, assisted by two willing Congolese park guards?They were to learn things that went beyond their wildest imaginations, and they would discover secrets about Phillip's expedition, about the rift valley, about themselves, about humanity, that they would never be able to share but that would change their lives forever.

Trump attacking HR.1 at length shows how important it is to pass it immediately. The entire GOP comeback strategy hinges on voter suppression and gerrymandering and is enabled by democratic senators who are more worried about senate tradition than democracy.

All roads lead to eliminating the filibuster. There is no "one weird trick" or super-savvy workaround. The path forward is clear: bring popular policies to the floor. If Republicans block them, eliminate the filibuster. The public will judge Democrats on what they pass, not how. https://twitter.com/jstein_wapo/status/1366177834713104386

NEWS: Senior Dems - including Wyden & Sanders - pulling plug on "plan b" to tax mega-corporations as backdoor minimum wage hike. Administrative, practical challenges loomed large.

Will seek other ways to pass $15/hr - but the path forward for now unclear

The problem with elevating "bipartisanship" over action, even in a clear crisis that affects nearly every American, is that it sets up a false choice. Biden welcomed Republican consultation. But their counsel was to do either NO stimulus or a tiny, ineffective one. 1/ https://twitter.com/PoliticusSarah/status/1366071113550282754

CNN's Dana Bash thinks that cooperating with Republicans means that President Biden has to give them everything that they want.

Donald Trump, born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever, handed the US presidency, and for four years given the opportunity to break any law he cared to, without consequence, never shuts the fuck up about how unfairly he's been treated

Remember that Goya boycott? Keep going!

Daniel Dale@ddale8

Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue at CPAC: "It’s just an honor to be here. But my biggest honor today is gonna be that -- I think we're gonna be on the same stage -- as, in my opinion, the real, the legitimate, and the still actual president of the United States, Donald J. Trump."

WaPo’s renaissance was due in large - uncredited - part to the audience, graphics, data, newsletter, video, etc teams, which are dominated by talented women, POC, and LGBTQ staff. Yet their brilliance is rarely cited in these glowing success stories about the Post. https://twitter.com/itsjhyphenm/status/1366051091507478534

Raising the minimum wage.
Protecting voting rights.
Finally passing common-sense gun safety rules.

If the Senate is going to do the things the American people expect us to do, we must #AbolishTheFilibuster.
