Links: Latin love, a more just economy and Trump lapdogs

Links: Latin love, a more just economy and Trump lapdogs 

A good Latinist must be a master of poetry without making the poetry saccharin. May Mr. Foster's memory be a blessing to the Church.

One thing missing in food pantries is getting food to people with no transportation resources. Hopefully, the latest decline in illness will lead to enough normality that we can handle the hard cases, while others can return to normal life.

The problem with Trumpism is that poor White people do not want to admit they are poor, sometimes the poorest of the poor. The pandemic may be the turning point in seeing that we are all together. The problem with lingering Trumpism can be found on the NCR website when, for them, being Democrat means being a baby killer. That sentiment won't go away with Trump, no matter how much we fix the economics.

When Trump is outed as a con artist, the GOP faithful will leave him high and dry, as major donors have. Politicians follow the money. Unless Roe becomes as much about defending the Constitution as feminism, there will always be a radicalized moral class.

In DC, local Advisor Neighborhood Commissions are key to resisting development and gentrification, provided the community cares to be active. An active neighborhood is both safe and safe from developers. 

Gaga was wonderful, but I miss the usual cadences in the anthem.
