American Teachers (McSweeney’s Quarterly) The United States has one of the highest teacher turnover ratios in the industrialized world. Almost 50% of teachers leave before their fifth year teaching—an astonishing statistic. This turnover means that schools constantly lose great educators, especially in the schools with the highest need. In any company, any government office—any endeavor of any kind—this kind of turnover would be seen as utterly untenable. The institutional knowledge base goes out the window. Any kind of stability or momentum is impossible. At the moment, nationally there’s a grave teacher shortage, with 45% of schools trying to fill vacancies. The average starting salary for a teacher in 2020-2021 was $41,770. When adjusted for inflation, this represented a 4% decrease from 2019-2020. So while the cost of living is growing for everyone, teachers are effectively being paid less each year. This is embarrassing.
Young Gamblers (WSJ) Addiction groups are warning of a surge in interest from younger and younger people seeking treatment for gambling addictions, particularly young men. A survey of 11th and 12th graders in Ohio found that the percentage who reported being unable to control their gambling rose to 8.3 percent in 2022, up from just 4.2 percent in 2018. The new legalization of mobile sports betting and apps with casino game-like qualities is seen as an issue in adolescents getting turned on to problem gambling habits.
One Governor’s Border Wall Is Another Governor’s Headache (NYT) Andy Wrenn could not believe all the trucks. Every morning starting this fall, a herd of pickups rumbled past his home in the Huachuca Mountains near Arizona’s southern border, hauling shipping containers to a grassland populated mostly by songbirds and mule deer. Then Mr. Wrenn drove down to the border and saw what was going on. The steel containers were not transporting anything—they were the thing being transported. Each empty container was a 9,000-pound brick in a border wall being built on federal land by the outgoing Republican governor, Doug Ducey. ��To have this pile of scrap metal just sitting there—it’s so unbelievable,” Mr. Wrenn said. The Biden administration went to court last week seeking to tear down Mr. Ducey’s wall, saying the governor had no power to unilaterally reshape federally managed public lands. There were no environmental reviews or public hearings before work crews began widening roads and tearing down oaks and junipers. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, whose agency oversees national forests, said the container wall was “unauthorized and unlawful,” and that it would not deter illegal crossings (which are relatively low in that area anyway).
Peru Congress to reconsider early election, unrest continues (AP) Peru’s Congress is set Tuesday to consider holding early elections, beset by protesters who have blocked highways and clashed with security forces amid deadly nationwide unrest ever since the lawmakers ousted President Pedro Castillo. It’s the second time in days that the lawmakers—easily the most reviled of a widely discredited political elite—are taking up the proposal to push forward to next year the elections for president and Congress originally planned for 2026. The early elections proposal failed to muster enough votes last week after leftist lawmakers abstained, conditioning their support on the promise of a constitutional assembly to overhaul Peru’s political charter—something that conservatives denounce as putting Peru’s free market economic model at risk.
Huge crowds welcome Argentina team after World Cup victory (AP) Thousands of fans lined up in the middle of the night to try to get a glimpse of the Argentina soccer team that won one of the greatest World Cup finals of all time ahead what is scheduled to be a day of celebrations in Buenos Aires. Members of the team, led by captain Lionel Messi, were all smiles as they descended from the plane in Ezeiza, right outside Argentina’s capital, shortly before 3 a.m. Tuesday onto a red carpet that had been rolled out for the squad. President Alberto Fernández declared a national holiday Tuesday so the country could celebrate the victory. The day after the streets of Argentina turned into massive parties following the Sunday victory, many kept a close eye on the flight that brought the players home to celebrate. As the plane got closer to Argentine soil, almost 200,000 people were tracking its path online and news channels gave live coverage of the arrival.
Struggling to afford heating bills, Britons turn to ‘warm banks’ to keep out the cold (Reuters) Every morning on her days off, Mary Obomese wraps up in her winter coat and heads to Woolwich Centre Library in southeast London, where she spends two hours on the computer and keeps herself warm. The 52-year-old, who works as a healthcare assistant in Britain’s National Health Service (NHS), is among those who are turning to ‘warm banks’—designated spaces where people can go if they cannot afford to turn on their heating at home. The war in Ukraine has pushed natural gas prices up sharply, exacerbating a cost-of-living crisis in Britain, where inflation rates are among the highest in the developed world. Obomese, who lives in a council flat and earns about 1,500 pounds ($1,828) per month, is the main earner in her family, with her two children still in education and her husband working as a freelance journalist. The family has been operating an ‘on-off’ system with their heating, turning it on in the mornings and then off for most of the day, then intermittently in the evenings when the children return from school and university. When they get cold, Obomese said, they wrap up in their coats or sit on the sofa with blankets.
‘Qatargate’ scandal casts light on ‘untouchable’ EU lawmakers (Reuters) As a corruption scandal rocks the European Parliament, lawmakers and campaign groups say a lack of asset declarations, little reporting on contacts with third countries and barely any sanctions created an environment where rule-breaking could go unpunished or undetected. “Many in parliament think of themselves as untouchables, who think the ordinary rules do not apply to them,” said Michiel van Hulten, director of the Brussels office of Transparency International. Prosecutors suspect Greek member of the European Parliament (MEP) Eva Kaili and three others accepted bribes from recent soccer World Cup host Qatar in a bid to influence European Union policymaking. The case, widely dubbed “Qatargate” in the media, is one of the biggest scandals to hit the 27-nation bloc. In raids connected to it, investigators seized 1.5 million euros ($1.6 million) in cash, some stuffed into a large suitcase found in a Brussels hotel. Qatar and Kaili have denied any wrongdoing.
Russia jails four Jehovah’s Witnesses adherents for up to seven years in prison (Reuters) A Russian court has sentenced four Jehovah’s Witnesses adherents to prison terms of between three-and-a-half and seven years, the latest step in Moscow’s crackdown on an organisation it deems dangerous, the religious group said late on Monday. Russia’s supreme court in 2017 banned the group under a law criminalising organisations designated “extremist”. Since that ruling, raids on Jehovah’s Witnesses’ homes and meeting places have become a regular occurrence. The district court of Birobidzhan, in Russia’s Far East, on Monday found the four men guilty of violating laws that regulate extremist organisations, including by organising “an illegal religious meeting” aimed at spreading “prohibited” religious doctrines among the local population, according to a statement from the court’s press service. Jarrod Lopes, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses, said the verdicts were “gross injustices�� which he said were part of a pattern of systematic persecution that had continued for more than five years.
Wartime Ukraine erasing Russian past from public spaces (AP) On the streets of Kyiv, Fyodor Dostoevsky is on the way out. Andy Warhol is on the way in. Ukraine is accelerating efforts to erase the vestiges of Soviet and Russian influence from its public spaces by pulling down monuments and renaming hundreds of streets to honor its own artists, poets, soldiers, independence leaders and others—including heroes of this year’s war. Following Moscow’s invasion on Feb. 24 that has killed or injured untold numbers of civilians and soldiers and pummeled buildings and infrastructure, Ukraine’s leaders have shifted a campaign that once focused on dismantling its Communist past into one of “de-Russification.” Streets that honored revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin or the Bolshevik Revolution were largely already gone; now Russia, not Soviet legacy, is the enemy.
The world fears a new China COVID wave, ponders how to help Xi (Reuters) Officials and global health experts outside China are anxiously watching a COVID-19 surge there, worried a nation of 1.4 billion people is inadequately vaccinated and may not have the healthcare tools to treat a wave of illness expected to kill more than one million people through 2023. Some U.S. and European officials are struggling to figure out how, or if, they can help mitigate a crisis they fear will hurt the global economy, further constrain corporate supply chains and spawn new coronavirus variants of concern. “We have made that point that we are prepared to help in any way they might find acceptable,” U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on Wednesday. Advance preparation of the healthcare system, accurate and shared data collection, and open communication are all important to battling mass coronavirus infections, say health experts from countries outside China who struggled through their own COVID waves. Many of those elements appear to be lacking in China, they say.
US flies bombers, stealth jets as Kim’s sister threatens (AP) The United States flew nuclear-capable bombers and advanced stealth jets in a show of force against North Korea on Tuesday, as the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un derided doubts about her country’s military and threatened a full-range intercontinental ballistic missile test. The deployment of the U.S. B-52 bombers and the F-22 stealth fighter jets for joint drills with South Korean warplanes was part of an agreement to protect South Korea with all available means, including nuclear, South Korea’s Defense Ministry said. The drills were held after North Korea claimed to have launched a test satellite for the development of its first military spy satellite, and tested a solid-fueled motor to be used on a more mobile intercontinental ballistic missile in the past several days.
Ghana to default on most external debt as economic crisis worsens (Reuters) Ghana on Monday suspended payments on most of its external debt, effectively defaulting as the country struggles to plug its cavernous balance of payments deficit. The country has been struggling to refinance its debt since the start of the year after downgrades by multiple credit ratings agencies. It had a balance of payments deficit of more than $3.4 billion in September, down from a surplus of $1.6 billion at the same time last year. While 70% to 100% of the government revenue currently goes toward servicing the debt, the country’s inflation has shot up to as much as 50% in November. Ghana has been experiencing what some say is its worst economic crisis in a generation. Last month, more than 1,000 protesters marched through the capital Accra, calling for the resignation of the president and denouncing deals with the IMF as fuel and food costs spiralled.
Police seize on COVID-19 tech to expand global surveillance (AP) Majd Ramlawi was serving coffee in Jerusalem’s Old City when a chilling text message appeared on his phone. “You have been spotted as having participated in acts of violence in the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” it read in Arabic. “We will hold you accountable.” Ramlawi, then 19, was among hundreds of people who civil rights attorneys estimate got the text last year, at the height of one of the most turbulent recent periods in the Holy Land. Many, including Ramlawi, say they only lived or worked in the neighborhood, and had nothing to do with the unrest. What he didn’t know was that the feared internal security agency, the Shin Bet, was using mass surveillance technology mobilized for coronavirus contact tracing, against Israeli residents and citizens for purposes entirely unrelated to COVID-19. In the pandemic’s bewildering early days, millions worldwide believed government officials who said they needed confidential data for new tech tools that could help stop coronavirus’ spread. In return, governments got a firehose of individuals’ private health details, photographs that captured their facial measurements and their home addresses. From Beijing to Jerusalem to Hyderabad, India, and Perth, Australia, The Associated Press has found that authorities used these technologies and data to halt travel for activists and ordinary people, harass marginalized communities and link people’s health information to other surveillance and law enforcement tools. In some cases, data was shared with spy agencies.

In the late 20th century, Scabby the Rat was popularized in the industrial Midwest and grew into a symbol of union solidarity, showing up at protests around the country and the world. Standing as large as 25 feet tall with an aggressive facial expression, claws ready to fight and a stomach covered in inflamed scabs, Scabby is an effective tactic to force negotiation and draw media coverage while shaming those who violate strikes. The rat’s continued effectiveness is a testament to the importance of workplace organizing, particularly in an era of historically low union participation. The year 2018 marked the lowest rate of union density, or the percentage of unionized workers, since the Bureau of Labor Statistics revamped its data reporting process in 1964.
Now, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which governs the private sector, is trying to limit Scabby’s use as part of a wave of anti-union decisions by business-friendly Republican members. As a senior NLRB official recently told Bloomberg Law, the Trump-appointed General Counsel Peter Robb “wants to find it unlawful to picket, strike or handbill with the rat present.” (The NLRB did not return requests for comment.) The same official told Bloomberg that Robb “hates the rat.”
In December 2019, Robb instructed NLRB attorneys to revive a Scabby complaint in Illinois involving Donegal Excavating and Union of Operating Engineers Local 150. Local 150 spokesman Ed Maher said that despite Republican control of the NLRB — Republicans currently hold three of the five Board seats with one vacancy — it will be a hurdle to overturn Board precedent.
“He [Robb] has probably spent his career on the side of employers who've been targeted by protests like this,” said Maher. “So he probably has a very negative personal feeling toward Scabby, as indicated by that quote [in the Bloomberg article].”
Local 150 General Counsel Dale Pierson estimated Scabby has been used thousands of times by the union. On a given day, up to 10 rats might be deployed to workplace pickets for issues including contract disputes, working conditions, wages and benefits. Pierson said Local 150 has faced many challenges from local governments over the years, but Scabby has passed muster as protected First Amendment speech.
Businesses particularly object to using Scabby in secondary boycotts. In these cases, workers don’t picket their own employers, but instead exert pressure through targeting companies contracted with the businesses. For example, picketing and striking trade unions often place Scabby inflatables near businesses that hire the union employer for construction purposes. Unlike in boycotts against the primary firm, under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), coercive and obstructive actions against secondary employers are not protected activities.
Organized labor representatives argue that under NLRA regulations, unions are held to stricter guidelines concerning free speech protections than private sector business or other protesting entities. Local 150 General Counsel Pierson said recently-set First Amendment precedent, such as the 2010 Citizens United and 2017 Masterpiece Cakeshop decisions, suggest a double standard is being exercised against unions for content- and speaker-based discrimination.
“If the Westboro [Baptist] Church can picket veterans’ funerals — American service people who've been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan — because they're protesting gays in the military, we can't put up an inflatable rat?” said Pierson. “And by the way, what’s coercive about the inflatable rat? Let's remember he's full of air. He doesn't talk. I mean, he's a balloon.”
Rutgers University law professor James Pope said limits placed on secondary boycotts for organized labor efforts impact unions’ effectiveness, as these sorts of actions are essential labor tactics. He highlighted the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a community-based organization of farmworkers who have led successful secondary boycott campaigns against major fast food companies for using their employer’s tomatoes.
“Not very many people have strong strike power anymore, but if you're a worker who can be easily replaced, secondary boycotts are often crucial,” he said. “Scabby the Rat is often deployed at locations where the protest can't be limited to the particular employer that you have in dispute with.”

I first met Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in August 2017, at a picnic for the Queens branch of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). It was a hot, muggy day. I was with my children, and Alexandria came to meet with us without pushing any kind of agenda. She was stylish and charming, and everyone was extremely impressed. Her political vision spoke to the values and political goals of DSA.
But for a (then-) twenty-seven-year-old unknown to run for Congress in our district, NY-14, seemed like an impossibility. Alexandria would sometimes come to our branch meetings and speak about her campaign, but as NYC-DSA was focused on city council races in Brooklyn that fall we didn’t take the idea of supporting a long-shot candidate like herself seriously — taking on the “Queens Machine” seemed like a masochistic task at best. The Queens DSA branch had not yet run its own electoral operation, so taking on a multi-borough district of a half million people, with the highest levels of linguistic diversity, seemed overly ambitious. Some DSA members were reluctant to support an endorsement, despite liking Alexandria, for fear that her loss might hurt the organization’s reputation. But through our internal democratic processes, NYC-DSA endorsed Ocasio-Cortez on April 22, 2018, following a spirited debate at our Citywide Leadership Committee meeting.
Her opponent, Congressman Joe Crowley, was a high-ranking Democrat rumored to be next in line for speaker of the house. More importantly, Crowley seemed to wield superhuman power locally as the King of Queens. Standing 6’5” tall, bald, fifty-three years old, and probably the last of the old Irish ruling class of Queens, Crowley was called a “modern day Boss Tweed,” with a vast war chest and control of the Queens Democratic machine. As the chair, he makes judicial appointments and decides how to fill vacancies in special elections (in New York State, about one-third of all state legislature seats are handpicked in this way). Almost all Democratic seats in a highly Democratic county were decided with Crowley’s blessing (Queens county has about 2.4 million people, with a eight-to-one ratio of Democrats to Republicans, which means that the primary is the most contested race in almost all Queens elections). While some individuals might win against the machine, eventually they get incorporated — generally falling in lockstep with Crowley and the county committee. In addition to controlling Queens politics, Crowley brings his influence to bear on appointments like the powerful New York City Council chair: instituting a pro-real estate council speaker in 2017, and using the position to enrich his political allies.
The key reason why Crowley and the machine were seen to be unbeatable is the impressive Democratic club infrastructure and his relationships (often economic) to other power brokers. There are a series of Democratic clubs that make up the true believers and committed activists within the Democratic Party. Some of these activists may want to become politicians themselves, and they do their time — volunteering from high school age, serving as elected but unpaid “district leaders,” and demonstrating their loyalty to Crowley and the machine. Failure to do this can lead to swift punishment for any possible slights and perceived disloyalties.
Furthermore, Crowley relies on his relationships with other elected officials and leadership within local unions for endorsements and resources to help canvass and get out the vote. (As a member of a faculty and staff union, I was really displeased to see my statewide union affiliate send out an expensive mailer to my home the day before the election, stating “more than ever, we need Congressman Joseph Crowley,” with no mention of his policies.) Crowley has also used his access to power and resources to benefit his partners and family members. In other words, despite our current political climate, Crowley’s incumbency advantage seemed insurmountable.
A good illustration of the reach of the machine can be seen in my interaction with “Inez,” a forty-something Latinx community leader. On Saturday, June 23, I met up with Inez and a group of women in Elmhurst — the working-class, Latinx and Asian neighborhood in northern Queens where the candidate’s office is located — and we had the privilege of doing a get-out-the-vote canvass with Alexandria. After Ocasio-Cortez left to catch a flight to Texas (to protest the separation of migrant children), Inez and I walked around the blocks knocking on doors of apartment buildings, with mostly strong positive responses from voters. Over tacos afterwards, Inez told me that she could not be public with her support for Ocasio-Cortez because she sat on the community board, and knew that even a social media post in support of the campaign would jeopardize her relationships with other elected officials, and thus hurt her ability to advocate for the progressive causes she cared about.
Yet despite this context, DSA volunteers grew cautiously optimistic about the possibility of an Ocasio-Cortez victory. Following our April 22 endorsement, our field captain began almost daily canvasses in which an average of six people went out (and sometimes as many as fifteen members came to volunteer). Other members who couldn’t travel to Queens held local phone bank parties. Phone banking and canvassing led to the identification of supportive neighbors. DSA helped to contribute to the canvassing efforts, and especially to the get-out-the-vote efforts, but we always worked in coalition with other movements — including Black Lives Matter, Muslims for Progress, local Resistance and Indivisible-type groups throughout Queens and the Bronx, existing educational justice organizations, and the Bernie infrastructure. And Ocasio-Cortez’s bold, socialist vision brought dozens of people to a cramped, often-overheated office on the second floor above a tacqueria in Elmhurst.
On June 15, NYC-DSA asked its members to turn out for a debate watch party/phone bank event to watch Ocasio-Cortez bring her unapologetic vision for economic and social justice against Congressman Crowley’s more measured stances. The volunteers, mostly young and very diverse, were thrilled to support her strong performance against Crowley. And the work of the coalition-based ground team must have been effective, as Ocasio-Cortez was polling thirty-six points behind Crowley just three weeks before the primary, but won by fifteen points in the end.
The election of Donald Trump has demonstrated that American politics is riven with unpredictable openings — and that applies to the Left as well. While Ocasio-Cortez’s impressive field operation was a testament to the value of a motivated volunteer force, perhaps the strongest asset was Alexandria herself. Ocasio-Cortez rarely attacked Crowley on a personal level, but the one theme that even my white, male, conservative Democratic neighbor told me really affected him was the idea that Crowley did not live in the district, breathe our air, drink our water, or send his kids to our schools.

Birthday Drabble 2018
(( Under cut for length, more than a lil depressing this year ))
The sound of her turning the page echoed through the dining room. She smiled as she read the passage before looking up at the clock. The time told her noon, no different from the sun shooting through her balcony doors. Capitalizing, she bent her paperback toward the light. A few paragraphs passed in silence, until restlessness saw her set it down. She flipped her phone open and hovered over the contacts.
Her eyes avoided the date by some compulsion she’d never express. Instead she scrolled through the names. Listlessness marked its touch in the vacancy of her stare; in the slouching of her mouth. The words Mother and Father were all she could choose from. They reflected in her eyes from the screen blindingly bright and terribly empty. She checked her recent calls to find them both absent. It was a tired wound that she’d traced a thousand times.
Standing, she set aside her phone and moved toward a pile of boxes. Each was labeled simply. Chinaware, clothes, stacks of books, well kept empty albums. She sorted through the mess with the wary urgency of keeping busy. Her hands passed over each item as though afraid to no longer hold something. She did not hum or sing. Her skin crawled. An energy bubbled to the surface, longing and blood curdling. Her eyes remained far away.
The clock read thirty minutes past when reluctantly she settled the last plate. A sigh left her. She tried to pick up her paperback but stopped. The restlessness stirred like a creeping infection. Before she knew it she dragged her broom over the spotless floors in a whirlwind. Her hands went raw from scrubbing.
But the itch persisted.
She slipped on her shoes and yanked her keys from the hook. Her jacket gave her protest, though relented. The moments of escaping down the stairs fled her memory. Abruptly she stood in the middle of the sidewalk beyond her apartment lobby.
But the itch bit deep.
Before she could think her eyes darted along the block. The hunger within them searched the laundromats, the bright supermarket, the scattered clothing stores. A plain cafe with an unremarkable awning was the only standout. A FamilyMart sat on one corner but that was expected.The mundane of it all compelled her as though she were sampling an amusement park. A mundane task filled the hands better than air. Her feet took her to the supermarket.
The aisles were normal for early June. Crowds congested the meat section, snaking near her the further she went. Clutching her basket, she navigated through with a forceful speed that surprised her. It was impulsive, a craving. Suddenly she fought her way to the front and loaded up an unreasonable pile. As she flit between the selections her basket grew laden. It’s handle dug into her arm and sent a stab of pain shooting into her shoulder. Her eyes widened incredulously looking into the items packed so dense they gave her no names.
Names weren’t needed, however, for she could taste their prepackaged and prepared slog by memory. It came from the shapes of the boxes, from their familiar colors. For a moment her rationale seized control, guiding her reluctant hand to return things to the shelves. The light weight of her wallet screamed louder than the siren call of restlessness. When she returned the basket and stepped outside, it pulsated and throbbed under her skin. The budget, she thought. It always came down to the budget. To what the words on her phone permitted.
Her feet saw her huddled on a park bench overlooking the lake. The sun pounded down fanning hot air. Sweat filmed over her face until she cursed under her breath and stripped her jacket. She set it on her lap then buried her chin on her hands. A breeze off the tide buzzed against her ears, but couldn’t drown the chance of hearing her thoughts. She bolted up jacket in hand and began to walk. Her steps were patient and stalling, afraid of stopping. She tied her jacket around her waist.
The trees were a faceless blur passing into one another in parallel with nameless people. She sighted an elderly couple, the rare stroller attached to a new mother, high school students crowding in posses. Each time her curiosity rose, to be beaten whimpering by the urge to witness more lest there be nothing at all when they left. It made her forehead throb. Shaking her head, she sighed and returned to the streets. Just as she departed the gate the sound of children’s laughter made her blood freeze.
A decently kept playground that’d seen more days withering than entertaining hosted children in a game of tag. Her eyes tracked their parents sitting not far away engaged in conversation. Some stole glances, cautious and protective as the young ones played. Her heart twinged at something so foreign yet longed for. She met the eyes of one mother glaring in disdain; a bear bristling before it bit. Without thinking she turned and ran.
Strangers stared frightened as she bolted down the avenue, until her lungs gave out. Her legs ground to a halt and she bent over, panting for breath. The restless need pulsated and yanked up her head by the hair. She looked to find the unremarkable, domestic blue lettering of the FamilyMart from earlier. The irony might’ve made her laugh on another day. Reaching for her wallet she entered. The pastries section greeted her almost immediately beside the magazine rack. She moved past the bored clerk hardly older than she was and began to browse.
Several cakes were packed in clear plastic containers and sat a row up from the slices. Several were identical with vanilla frosting, lacy whip cream, and upright strawberries stripped of their tops. A few coated in chocolate stood out with bright candies for garnish. She breathed in their manufactured scent and let it bleed into her mouth. Lifting a finger, she wiggled it back and forth judging her options. Unsurprisingly, the strawberries and cream beat it’s chocolate competitor six to two. She lifted it and soon slid it onto the counter like a battle trophy. A thousand yen bill she pressed next with less consideration. The clerk managed a practiced smile, worked out her change, and saw her off with it as she left.
Her dining room had grown darker when she returned. Switching on the lights, she placed the cake on the table after removing her shoes. Her jacket she unwrapped, made to throw it onto a chair, then thought better and hung it. She resumed her paperback, not looking at her purchase with consideration. The cake waited in saintly patience while she loudly turned pages. The hands of the clock ticked and the shadows of the room grew. Suddenly she earmarked a passage to slam the book down. It rang painfully in her ears and made her chest leap. She stood without looking at the cake.
She balled her hands, pacing to the kitchenette and then her refrigerator. Opening it she reached in for a tall bottle of green tea. A part of her felt sleazy to hold it, much less to have included it among her raw teas. She unscrewed the cap and drank deeply. Not a moment later she pound it onto the plastic counter. Placing her hands onto the surface, she exhaled hard and lowered her head.
The restlessness congealed and swelled making her want to jump out her skin. Somewhere within it converted to steeled resolve. Lifting her face she stared at the cake the way the doomed faced biting a bullet. A familiar sickness claimed her as she felt the weight of being the only one present. It nearly folded her composure like tossing a stone onto paper; she retrieved worn number candles from a box.
Sticking in the candles was merely rote. Lighting them came easier. Not for the first time she stared watching the number increase another year; now it told her fifteen. It reminded her there were high school textbooks to check, a student handbook to skim. She shrugged her shoulders if only for herself. They could wait. Clearing her throat, she sung, tired.
“Happy birthday, happy birthday to me...”
The cake tasted sugary, light, and cheap. Carefully she chewed with vigor to resist the silence. As usual, it rang too loud.
#birthday drabble#OK to reblog#tfw...you were abused as a child and raised yourself...fucking out here making myself depressed#Nozomi deserved better tbh- better parents and an actual childhood and early adolescence#this was inspired by the restlessness to do something that i feel since im home all day and it becomes needing something to occupy#something to do with the time bc if not you start getting pent up and going crazy its def happened and her life makes sense for that#esp since she was and is living on her own for so long- also obvs set before s1

They stood in silence Tuesday, the first day of the hearings, lining the walkways and atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building, their austere silhouettes evoking the dystopian persecution portrayed in the novel-turned-Emmy-award-winning Hulu drama "The Handmaid's Tale."The group's restrained method was a sharp contrast to other scenes going on throughout the Senate side of Capitol Hill.
Police arrested 70 people by the end of the day for "unlawful demonstration activities."
Inside the hearing, protesters shouted out, and Democrats immediately demanded the hearing be stalled until thousands of documents from Kavanaugh's time as a Bush-era White House lawyer are reviewed.
Protesters disrupt the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill September 4, 2018.
The silent protest was organized by the liberal advocacy group, Demand Justice, which has long opposed Donald Trump's pick to fill the vacancy left by retired Justice Anthony Kennedy.The protestors' costumes resembled the dress of the "handmaids," who in the television show are forced into sexual servitude under the totalitarian government that has taken over part of the United States. Their reproductive rights are stripped completely away.
Women dressed as characters from "The Handmaid's Tale" stand in an elevator at the Hart Senate Office Building as Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh starts the first day of his confirmation hearing.
Although he has vowed to uphold the Constitution and be impartial, many fear Kavanaugh, in this lifelong position, could tilt the American legal system to the right for an entire generation.
If confirmed, Kavanaugh would replace Kennedy, who as a frequent swing vote on the bench often sided with liberal justices on issues like affirmative action, LGBT rights and abortion.

Senators are especially likely to grill Kavanaugh on his dissent from a ruling by the DC Circuit last October that an undocumented immigrant teen was entitled to seek an abortion.
He wrote that the high court has "held that the government may further those interests so long as it does not impose an undue burden on a woman seeking an abortion."
He said the majority opinion was "based on a constitutional principle as novel as it is wrong: a new right for unlawful immigrant minors in US government detention to obtain immediate abortion on demand."
Women dressed as characters from the novel-turned-TV series "The Handmaid's Tale" line up before Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh starts the first day of his confirmation hearing in front of the US Senate on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, on September 4, 2018.
Protesters dressed in long red capes and white "wings"-- headdresses that keep their eyes focused on the ground -- have become a more and more frequent appearance not only in the United States but across the globe as a symbol for women's rights.
Activists in favor of the legalization of abortion disguised as characters from "The Handmaid's Tale" display green headscarves as they perform outside the National Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on July 25, 2018.
Protesters dressed like handmaids during Vice President Mike Pence's visits to Philadelphia and Denver. In July, demonstrators in Poland wore the outfits during Donald Trump's visit. Women in both Ireland and Argentina have also donned the capes and hats to promote abortion rights.
The woman behind the costumes in the hit show is Ane Crabtree. She also designed costumes for the television shows "Westworld," Masters of Sex" and "Pan Am," and says the fact that women are using her creations in protest is a huge honor.

To know that women are able to express themselves wholly and separately and be inspired is absolutely bigger than me, and bigger than any expectation I would have thought could come of this kind of career and work," she says.

La Premier ministre britannique Theresa May et le prince William commémorent ce mercredi 8 août à Amiens (nord de la France) le centenaire de la bataille du même nom, début d'une offensive alliée qui précipita la défaite de l'Allemagne en 1918. De nombreux autres représentants de pays belligérants seront présents, dont l’ancien président allemand Joachim Gauck mais non Emmanuel Macron ni son Premier ministre Edouard Philippe, tous deux en vacances dans le midi.
C’est une célébration majeure aux yeux des pays qui ont combattu aux côtés de la France dans la Grande guerre de 1914-1918, et singulièrement ceux qui ont payé à Amiens le prix fort : Grande-Bretagne, Canada, Australie, États-Unis, Irlande … et Allemagne.
Trois mille deux cents invités à la cérémonie en sa cathédrale. Parmi eux, des descendants de quelques uns des dizaines de milliers de combattants morts dans cette bataille annonciatrice, enfin, d’un dénouement victorieux.
Eclats
Allocutions épiscopale et princière. Lecture, par des militaires et diplomates de chaque pays, de lettres de soldats ou d'infirmières à leurs familles et de messages d’officiers à la troupe. Hymnes et chants par l’orchestre de la Royal Air Force et le Chœur national des jeunes de Grande-Bretagne. Représentation, pour cette dernière, de haut niveau : la Premier ministre Theresa May, le prince William. Hauts dignitaires canadiens, américains, australiens, irlandais et nord-irlandais. Également présent : l'ancien président allemand Joachim Gauck.
Le Prince William, Duc de Cambridge, la Première ministre Theresa May et l'ancien président allemand Joachim Gauck en la cathédrale d'Amiens ce 8 août 2018.
Pour la France, en revanche, ni président de la République, originaire d’Amiens mais en vacances sur la Côte d’Azur, ni Premier ministre, également au soleil du midi. Seule membre du gouvernement initialement prévue : la très discrète Secrétaire d'État Geneviève Darrieussecq. Finalement renforcée in extremis de sa patronne, la ministre des Armées Florence Parly, contrainte, elle, d’interrompre ses congés.
Protocole minimum soupçonné de rattrapage, quelque peu décalé au regard d’une commémoration internationale de ce niveau : le centenaire d’une bataille cruciale, symbole de la dernière manche de la Grande guerre. Rappel.
Un contexte incertain
Si le sort des armes, à partir de 1916, n’est plus très favorable aux Allemands, ces derniers retrouvent, début 1918, quelques raisons d’espérer. La Révolution russe d’octobre 1917 et la paix séparée signée à Brest Litovsk qui s’ensuit leur laisse subitement le champ libre sur le front Est, qu’ils peuvent dégarnir pour renforcer leur pression sur la France.
Soldats américains dans le nord de la France en mai 1918.
Évènement majeur, l’entrée en guerre des États-Unis en avril 1917 tarde encore, de son côté, à se traduire sur le terrain. Les belligérants savent néanmoins qu’avec le temps, la puissance militaro-industrielle américaine apportera au camp allié un avantage déterminant.
Si le camp de la « Quadruplice » (Empires allemand, austro-hongrois, turc, Bulgarie) estime la victoire encore à sa portée, ses généraux savent que la pendule joue contre eux. Une offensive décisive est urgente, malgré l’épuisement des troupes après quatre années de boucherie mondiale.
Offensive et contre-offensive
Les Allemands lancent leur ultime attaque en France en avril 1918. Elle dure jusqu’au mois de juillet mais est arrêtée sur la Marne par les troupes alliées, placées sous le commandement – enfin - unique du général Foch. Ce dernier lance dans la foulée une contre-offensive à Amiens, point de jonction des fronts britanniques et français.
Tank anglais dans la Somme en 1918.Elle est d’abord aérienne, sous la forme d’un bombardement massif. Il est suivi d’un assaut de l’infanterie, avec emploi de plus de 400 tanks, une arme apparue seulement dix-huit mois plus tôt sur les champs de batailles.
Les forces engagées sont considérables, françaises, britanniques, canadiennes, américaines, australiennes, irlandaises. Le commandement unique s’avère d’une grande efficacité pour leur coordination.
En trois jours, la bataille débouche sur un net succès allié, contrairement aux laborieuses contre-offensives antérieures. Elle marque pour l’Allemagne, contrainte au repli et qui ne cessera de reculer par la suite, le début de la fin.
Les pertes pour les deux camps à Amiens sont énormes, même à l’échelle de la Grande guerre : 96 000 tués ou blessés en trois jours. 30 000 Allemands sont faits prisonniers. Cette tuerie-là, du moins, annonçait un résultat tangible : la défaite allemande trois mois plus tard, la fin de la guerre.
Ingratitude
Amiens, après la bataille.
Opération qui a majoritairement engagé des forces anglo-saxonnes - en dépit de son commandement en chef tricolore - , la bataille d’Amiens est généralement plus célébrée par ses alliés que par la France, où l’on retient davantage le long supplice de Verdun (1916), l’hallucinant carnage de la Somme (1916, 1 200 000 tués en cinq mois pour huit kilomètres reconquis), voire la peu concluante offensive du Chemin de Dames (1917, 400 000 morts).
Que le motif tacite des vacances ou l'indifférence empêche ses principaux dirigeants de venir en commémorer le centenaire quelques heures en leur compagnie – une demi-douzaine de nations - et avec lui le sacrifice - ou l’immolation - sur son sol de près de 100 000 soldats n’en constitue pas moins,
pour certains esprits
chagrins de l'ancien monde, un manquement difficilement compréhensible.

Nearly Half of CSS Vacancies Remain Unfilled
Vacant Central Superior Services (CSS) posts have piled up during the last decade primarily due to the lack of suitable candidates from Sindh, Balochistan, GB, and AJK, and the failure of women and minorities to fill up their reserved quota.
As a result, vacant CSS positions increased with each passing year since 2010 and reached a point in 2019 when almost half of the total CSS posts remained unfilled.

According to the official data, there were 271 CSS vacancies in 2010, against which 205 appointments were made. On the other hand, in 2019, out of the total 410 CSS vacancies, only 214 were filled and 196 remained unfilled.
Here is a breakdown of total CSS vacancies, appointments, and unfilled posts from the last 10 CSS exams.

Trump considers pardoning Martha Stewart, commuting Rod Blagojevich
Politics May 31, 2018 10:23 AM EDT
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Thursday he’s considering commuting the sentence of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was convicted of corruption, and pardoning lifestyle entrepreneur Martha Stewart, who served a stint in federal prison after being convicted of charges related to a stock sale.
Hours earlier, Trump said on Twitter that he will pardon conservative commentator and Obama critic Dinesh D’Souza, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance fraud. The White House announced later Thursday that the pardon had been granted.
As he left Washington to fly to Texas, Trump tweeted: “Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!” D’Souza, an outspoken critic of former President Barack Obama, had claimed that his prosecution by the Obama Justice Department was politically motivated, but the presiding federal judge said D’Souza had failed to prove it.
Trump later shared his thoughts on Blagojevich and Stewart with the reporters accompanying him on Air Force One. Both had connections to Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” reality television show: Blagojevich was a contestant in 2010 and Stewart hosted the 2005 spinoff series, “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart.”
Blagojevich was convicted on numerous counts of corruption, including for trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat that was vacated by Obama and for shaking down a children’s hospital. As governor, he had the right to name someone to fill the Senate vacancy, but he was caught on FBI wiretaps discussing ways to make money off of it. He began serving a 14-year prison sentence in 2012 and is scheduled for release in 2024.
“What he did does not justify 18 years in jail,” Trump said. “If you read his statement, it was a foolish statement with a lot of bravado. Plenty of other politicians have said a lot worse. He’s a Democrat, he’s not in my party, but I thought he got treated unfairly.”
The Supreme Court has twice turned down appeals from Blagojevich, most recently in April. That appeal turned in part on the length of Blagojevich’s prison term. Trump’s Justice Department urged the court to reject the appeal.
“What [Blagojevich] did does not justify 18 years in jail,” Trump said.
Patti Blagojevich, the former governor’s wife, said she and the couple’s two children were “very encouraged” by Trump’s comments. “He’s given us something that has been hard to come by recently. Hope,” she said in a written statement.
Stewart was convicted in 2004 of obstructing justice and lying to the government about why she unloaded stock just before the price plummeted. She served five months in prison. Her representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“I think to a certain extent Martha Stewart was harshly and unfairly treated. She used to be my biggest fan in the world,” Trump said.
The federal prosecutor who oversaw Stewart’s case in New York was James Comey, one of Trump’s principal antagonists and the man he fired as FBI director last year. The prosecutor who led the case against Blagojevich in Chicago was Patrick Fitzgerald, a Comey friend who is also his lawyer. Fitzgerald was also the special counsel leading the case against I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, the Bush administration official pardoned by Trump last month.
“I think to a certain extent Martha Stewart was harshly and unfairly treated,” Trump said.
Trump told reporters Thursday that no one asked him to pardon D’Souza, whose case had become a cause in conservative circles. Trump said he only knew D’Souza from TV and reading his works. He said he telephoned D’Souza on Wednesday night.
“I’ve always felt he was very unfairly treated,” he said, adding that D’Souza should have just been given a “quick, minor fine. What they did to him was horrible.”
D’Souza thanked those who urged Trump to pardon him, and took a swipe at Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted him.
“My heartfelt thanks to those who prayed for me, supported me & reached out on social media to President Trump to pardon me,” D’Souza tweeted. In a separate tweet, titled “KARMA IS A B—- DEPT:” D’Souza accused Bharara of being out to “destroy a fellow Indian American to advance his career. Then he got fired & I got pardoned.” Trump fired Bharara from the U.S. attorney job after initially promising Bharara that he would stay on in the new administration.
In response, Bharara acknowledged Trump’s right to issue pardons but said “D’Souza intentionally broke the law, voluntarily pled guilty, apologized for his conduct & the judge found no unfairness. The career prosecutors and agents did their job. Period.”
D’Souza, a filmmaker, author and speaker, was sentenced in September 2014 to five years of probation after he admitted making illegal contributions to a U.S. Senate candidate in New York. He acknowledged he had two close associates each contribute $10,000 to the Senate campaign of Republican Wendy Long with the understanding that he would reimburse them. Individual contributions to any one candidate were limited to $5,000 at the time. Long lost to Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
Donald J. Trump
✔ @realDonaldTrump
Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!
9:18 AM - May 31, 2018
Watchdog groups criticized D’Souza’s pardon, saying it signaled the president’s contempt for the rule of law.
“Donald Trump has sent a message to his friends and cronies that if you break laws to protect him or attack our democracy, he’s got your back,” said David Donnelly, president and CEO of Every Voice. “Contribution limits are a key bulwark against corruption in politics and pardoning the man who knowingly violated them is in direct conflict with his pledge to drain the swamp in Washington.”
Other government watchdogs raised Trump’s first pardon, issued last August to former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arpaio was awaiting sentencing after he was convicted of criminal contempt of court for disobeying a federal judge’s order to stop immigration patrols that focused on Latinos.
D’Souza, who made the documentary “2016: Obama’s America,” had claimed he was selectively prosecuted, but the judge said he had produced no evidence of this.
D’Souza is a former policy analyst under President Ronald Reagan and a prolific author well-known for works critical of Obama, as well as Hillary Clinton, Trump’s Democratic rival in the 2016 presidential election. His 2016 documentary, “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party,” attempts a takedown of the former Obama secretary of state.
In February, D’Souza apologized for mocking Parkland, Florida, high school students who were upset after the Florida House voted down a proposed ban on a type of semi-automatic rifles known as assault weapons. The students had lost 17 classmates and teachers in a shooting that month.
D’Souza said in one tweet that the students had received the “worst news since their parents told them to get summer jobs.” In another tweet, he wrote “Adults 1, kids 0.”
The tweets have been sharply criticized by some Florida Republicans, including Gov. Rick Scott. Despite the backlash, D’Souza is scheduled to speak at a two-day event next month sponsored by the Republican Party of Florida. Scott, who is running for U.S. Senate, has not yet said if he will attend.
Associated Press writers Gary Fineout in Tallahassee, Florida, and Michael Tarm in Chicago contributed to this report.

Moreno Valley Councilwoman Carla Thornton has died.
Moreno Valley Councilwoman Carla Thornton has died, the city announced on Thursday, Jan. 21. (Photo courtesy of the city of Moreno Valley)
Thornton, 42, died Thursday, Jan. 21, after an illness, according to a city news release.
“Councilwoman Thornton was a dedicated public servant who cared deeply for the residents of her district and the city as a whole,” Mayor Yxstian Gutierrez said in the release. “Carla brought an incredible amount of enthusiasm, energy and real joy to her council work, and she had so much more to contribute. This is a tremendous loss for Moreno Valley, and I will miss her as a colleague and as a friend.”
Thornton was elected to represent District 2 in 2018. She was the first African American woman elected to the council.
“Dr. Thornton was an inspiration. I was just so happy that she was able to do the things she did while she was on the council. She was pro-growth, pro-progress and she really had her heart set on making Moreno Valley a destination point,” Councilwoman Victoria Baca said Thursday.
No decision has yet been made on how to fill Thornton’s seat, which will be up for reelection in 2022. According to Interim City Attorney Steve Quintanilla, the City Council can either appoint someone to fill the vacancy by March 22 or a special election will have to be held on Nov. 2, 2021.
Last summer, Thornton co-founded the Riverside County Alliance of Black Elected Officials, which seeks to coordinate policy across the region and advocated for the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to declare racism a public health hazard, which they did in August.
She formed the organization with Riverside County Board of Education trustee Corey Jackson, whom she defeated in the 2018 Moreno Valley City Council race.
“She became one of my biggest allies in the community,” despite him being a progressive and her being a conservative, Jackson said Thursday. “She always looked for common ground with people.”

The death of George Floyd and the subsequent calls for racial justice provided common ground between them.
“She was someone who rolled up her sleeves and got in the work,” Jackson said. “She was a workhorse, not a show horse.”
Thornton’s death came as a shock to the council.
“It hurts so much,” Councilman David Marquez said Thursday night. “She’s part of the family and it really hurts.”
Thornton was an assistant professor of social work at California Baptist University. A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, she was deployed twice as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
“She was a strong leader. She really, truly cared about her family and the community,” Councilman Ulises Cabrera said Thursday. “She will be dearly missed.”
Thornton’s family has not released information about any memorial or funeral service, according to the city.
