What should have been done in under 10 minutes… my ADHD brain has finally completed after being logged out of dailykos more that 2 years ago.

I needed to get access to an old email account so I could reset my password here … and I use a password manager! But it got out of sync by storing my last password change under a subdomain that doesn’t seem to be used any more

Deescalation sounds like a good answer

From the Boston Globe today: Police restraint saves lives

I’m not much of a writer, so this is just a link-y diary, but reading this is the paragraph gave me hope that the Boston Police Department might actually “get it”

Nobody who wears the BPD badge, from Evans right down to the gang unit cops who mix it up every day with kids who carry guns like you and I carry cellphones, is under any illusions. What happened in Chicago, what happened in Baltimore, in New York, in Ferguson, Seattle, San Francisco, you name the city, could happen here. In fact, Boston cops are wary of taking any bows, as if it might jinx things.

Why Not Waren Buffet as CEO?

Paulson is trying to buy a piece of the big shitpile using our money. But none of us really trust him or the executive branch.

Why not demand that congress appoint a non-executive branch controlled organization on the model of the RTC?

The requirements to be an officer or a member of the board of directors must include on-the-record statements, prior to 2006, predicting the disaster that has come upon us.

It seems that the CEO of the new RTC should be Warren Buffet. Yes, he's old, but he was predicting this kind of thing from way back and he's incredibly well respected across the country - even if he does lean democratic :)

Most of us have todo lists. "Buy Circus tix", "Clean out that drawer", "Plan trip to London", etc.

But I think all of us also have problems following the todo lists and dealing with the items we think will be really hard.

There seem to be a number of people, though, who claim to follow their todo lists, but never seem to get around to the top items on their lists.

I no longer believe that they really have those items on their todo lists. They just claim they do to sucker people.

These people are what we call "the religious right".

Here's what I take away as Jesus's todo list:

I am reminded of the anniversary by Professor DeLong

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Many of us have been following the current storm around a gender inclusive ENDA bill. We've yelled at each other. We've agonized with each other. We've discussed our positions. But we've also called our Representatives and, mirabile dictu!, some of them seem to have listened.

From the United ENDA coalition statement (found at Donna Rose's ENDA Blog):

Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) announced today that she has secured an agreement from the Democratic leadership to introduce an amendment to H.R. 3685 that would restore gender identity protections to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The amendment would be considered on the House floor next week, after the bill moves through the House Education and Labor Committee this Thursday.

So what I'd like everyone to do is, please:

Call/Visit/Email your US Representative and ask them to support the Baldwin amendment to H.R. 3685 regarding gender identity protections. Ask them to co-sponsor the amendment if they can.

Then call 10 of your friends/acquaintances and ask them to do the same for their Rep.

Please.

Tonight, The Advocate reports on our all-powerful and decisive Democratic Congress:

House Leaders May Strip Gender Identity From ENDA

The Democratic House leadership is considering stripping protections for transgender people from ENDA after a preliminary vote count found the measure would not pass if it had trans-inclusive language.

According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, DHS is promoting changes to existing rules regarding employee information with the Social Security Administration.

In the normal course of business employers are required to submit employee data to the SSA. The SSA will compare this information against it's own records and send a "No-Match" letter if something doesn't match.

They're mostly looking for illegal aliens, but for the Transgendered, the devil -- as always -- is in the details. Read More
