Former Republican representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming joined Vice President Kamala Harris on a stage hung with red, white, and blue bunting and signs that said “Country Over Party.” As Cheney took the stage, the crowd chanted, “Thank you, Liz!” The two were on the campaign trail today in Ripon, Wisconsin, the town that claims to be the birthplace of the Republican Party. It was in that then-tiny town in 1852 that Alvan E. Bovay, who had recently emigrated from New York, called for a new political party to stand against slavery.

The idea of a new party took off in 1854 when it became clear the Kansas-Nebraska Act permitting the westward expansion of human enslavement would become law. When they met in February of that year, people in Ripon were early participants in the movement of people across the North to defend democracy. Rather than standing against slavery alone, those organizing in 1854 stood against an entire political system, opposing the small group of elite enslavers who had taken over the U.S. government in order to establish an oligarchy and were quite clear they rejected the self-evident truth in the Declaration of Independence that all men were created equal. Instead, they intended to rule over the nation’s majority, whose labor produced the capital that southern leaders believed only elites should control.

In the face of this existential threat to the country, party divisions crumbled.

Pundits have described today’s event as a component of Harris’s ongoing outreach to Republicans, and in part, it is. That outreach, begun under President Joe Biden and continuing even more aggressively under Harris, is bearing fruit as in an open letter today, two dozen Republican former officials and lawmakers in Wisconsin endorsed Harris and her running mate Minnesota governor Tim Walz. “We have plenty of policy disagreements with Vice President Harris,” the Republicans wrote. “But what we do agree upon is more important. We agree that we cannot afford another four years of the broken promises, election denialism, and chaos of Donald Trump’s leadership.”

Lately, there have been indications of what returning Trump to office might mean.

On Tuesday, Trump suggested that the U.S. soldiers who sustained traumatic brain injuries (TBI) when Iran attacked an Iraqi base where they were stationed were not truly injured, but simply had “headaches.” Trump’s statement brought back to light a 2021 CBS report by Catherine Herridge and Michael Kaplan that found the injured soldiers had not been recognized with a Purple Heart, awarded to service members wounded or killed in the line of duty, despite qualifying for it. This slight meant they were denied the medical benefits that come with that military decoration.

The soldiers told Herridge and Kaplan that they were pressured to downplay their injuries to avoid undercutting Trump’s attempt to keep the casualty numbers in that incident low. With the story back in the news, Kaplan posted that after the report, the Army awarded the soldiers the Purple Hearts they deserved.

Journalist Magdi Jacobs recalled the argument of Trump’s lawyers before the Supreme Court that Trump could not prod a SEAL team to assassinate a rival because service members would adhere to the rules of their institutions. The Army officers’ bowing to Trump’s political demands proved that argument was wrong and set off “[m]ajor alarm bells,” Jacobs posted, suggesting that the military would not stand firm against Trump in a second term, especially now that the Supreme Court says a president cannot be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of official duties.

Scott Waldman and Thomas Frank of Politico’s E&E News covering energy and the environment reported today that two former White House officials said that Trump was “flagrantly partisan” when responding to natural disasters. One said that in 2018 Trump refused to approve disaster aid after wildfires to California, perceiving it as a Democratic state. To get disaster money, the aide showed Trump polling results revealing that Orange County, which had been badly damaged in the fires, “had more Trump supporters than the entire state of Iowa.”

Defending the Big Lie that Trump had won the 2020 presidential election, former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters in 2021 gave a security badge to a man associated with MyPillow owner Mike Lindell to enable him to breach the county’s voting systems in an unsuccessful attempt to find evidence of voter fraud. A jury found Peters guilty of four felonies related to the scheme. Today, District Court Judge Matthew Barrett sentenced Peters to nine years in prison.

But there are other stories these days of what the government can accomplish when it is focused on the good of all Americans.

About 45,000 dock workers in the International Longshoremen’s Association went on strike Tuesday when the union could not reach an agreement with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) employer group over a new contract. The strike shut down 36 ports from Maine to Texas, affecting about half the country’s shipping just as the areas hammered by Hurricane Helene desperately needed supplies. Dockworkers wanted a pay increase of up to 77% over six years and better benefits, as well as an end to the automation that threatens union jobs.

President Joe Biden reiterated his support for collective bargaining despite the threat to an economic slowdown from the strike. The Wall Street Journal editorial board excoriated Biden and the union, saying: “President Biden wants unions to have extortionary bargaining power, and he’s getting a demonstration of it on election eve. Congratulations.”

But today the International Longshoremen’s Association suspended the strike after USMX agreed to wage increases of 62% over six years. The two sides agreed to extend the current contract until January 15 to address the issues of benefits and automation. Administration officials White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, top White House economic advisor Lael Brainard, Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg helped broker the temporary agreement.

The government’s power to make things better is also on display amid the rubble and ruin left behind by Hurricane Helene. Yesterday evening, after taking an aerial tour of western North Carolina to survey the damage and receiving a briefing in Raleigh, President Biden thanked both “the Republican governor of South Carolina and the Democratic governor of North Carolina and all of the elected officials who’ve focused on the task at hand. In a moment like this, we put politics aside. At least we should put it all aside, and we have here. There are no Democrats or Republicans; there are only Americans. And our job is to help as many people as we can as quickly as we can and as thoroughly as we can.”

Biden explained that the federal government had 1,000 first responders in place before the storms hit, and that he had approved emergency declarations as soon as he received the requests from the governors. Yesterday he directed the Defense Department to move 1,000 soldiers to reinforce North Carolina’s National Guard to speed up the delivery of supplies like food, water, and medicine to isolated communities, some of which are accessible now only by pack mule.

He has already deployed 50 Starlink satellites for communication, and more are coming.

Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency are offering free temporary housing, as well as delivering food and water. They are helping people apply for the help that they need.

While Trump and MAGA Republicans insist that Biden is botching the response to Helene, CNN fact checker Daniel Dale noted that the response has gotten bipartisan praise. Republican governors Henry McMaster of South Carolina and Glenn Youngkin of Virginia both thanked Biden by name for what McMaster called a “superb” response.

So today’s bipartisan event in Ripon suggests far more than Democratic outreach to Republicans. It appears to be a commitment to a government that advances the interests of ordinary people, and protects the right of everyone to be treated equally before the law and to have a say in their government. Republican Abraham Lincoln articulated this worldview for his fledgling party in 1859 as it took a stand against oligarchs. Believing these principles accurately represented the aspirations of the nation’s founders, Lincoln called them “conservative.” People from all parties rallied to the party that promised to defend those principles.

“The president of the United States must not look at our country through the narrow lens of ideology or petty partisanship or self-interest,” Harris said today. “The president of the United States must not look at our country as an instrument for their own ambitions. Our nation is not some spoil to be won. The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised: the nation that inspired the world to believe in the possibility of a representative government. And so in the face of those who would endanger our magnificent experiment, people of every party must stand together.”

"In this election, putting patriotism ahead of partisanship is not an aspiration. It is our duty,” Cheney said. “I ask all of you here and everyone listening across this great country to join us. I ask you to meet this moment. I ask you to stand in truth, to reject the depraved cruelty of Donald Trump.

“And I ask you instead to help us elect Kamala Harris for president. I know…that…a president Harris will be able to unite this nation. I know that she will be a president who will defend the rule of law, and I know that she will be a president who can inspire all of our children—and if I might say so, especially our little girls—to do great things. So help us right the ship of our democracy so that history will say of us, when our time of testing came, we did our duty and we prevailed because we loved our country more.”

House = Rasloria /ɹaslˈɔːɹi͡ə/

Agent, singular. Non-gendered.

Definition Just like your typical family home, if your family consisted of a lot of time-travelling, semi-immortal beings who love drama, and your house is also a sentient being that perpetually just isn't interested in your crap.

Example ↪ Romanised: Eina bovai tao ei Rasloria-N, ter N-qi'vatara qijinu bai ce galmi temryn. ↪ English: I would go to my House, but it launched itself off a cliff today. ↪ Audio:

↪ Sollifreyan (font v1):

Advanced

Etymological and Morphological Breakdown:

Ras- (Root): Derived from 'ras', a Gallifreyan term meaning 'strength' or 'power', this root in 'Rasloria' emphasises the formidable power and influence of the Great Houses within Time Lord society. It signifies the authoritative and dominant role these Houses play in shaping cultural and political landscapes.

Lor- (Root): Originating from 'lop', which means 'light' or 'bright', the 'lor' segment in 'Rasloria' suggests enlightenment, wisdom, or guiding principles.

-ia (Suffix): A variation of 'ria', denoting a collective entity or group. In 'Rasloria', the suffix '-ia' transforms the combined roots into a term representing a collective familial or societal entity, specifically a lineage or House.

They are seen as the custodians of not only political power but also of cultural and intellectual heritage.

Influence on Time Lord Identity and Society: The term reflects the profound impact these Houses have on individual identities and the societal structure of Gallifrey. 'Rasloria' encompasses the influence of these Houses on personal names, social dynamics, and the lineage of their members.

Role in Historical and Cultural Narratives: As 'Rasloria', the Great Houses are portrayed as pivotal players in the historical and cultural narratives of Gallifrey, shaping key events, societal changes, and the evolution of Time Lord civilisation.

Symbol of Legacy and Tradition: The term also captures the essence of the Great Houses as symbols of legacy and tradition, embodying the long-standing values, beliefs, and practices that define Time Lord society.

Mississippi River Monday por Brian D Plant Por Flickr: High up on my list of things to do has been the Christmas train that travels the Kansas City Southern system, but I have always failed to pull the trigger on potential plans until this year. With it being CPKC now, a few things changed and I knew it would be foolish to wait another year, so I decided to save a few vacation days for the week after Thanksgiving. A huge thank you to Isaac Fulford, Nick Palazini, Nolan Majcher, Terry Chicwak and many others who helped with operations/locations and a myriad of other types of questions. The train is slowly crossing the Mississippi River from Bovay, Louisiana into Vicksburg, Mississippi in the early afternoon on Saturday November 25, 2023. The train departed Shreveport shortly after 0800 and arrived at the yard in Pearl/Jackson shortly before the planned festivities started at 1600.

👀 okie dokieeeeee

7. quote your favorite song lyric and why you chose it!

Oh shoot...

This is from Nara by Alt-J and i love it bc its talking ab homophobia and discrimination. Alabama being terrible at this, Alvan E. Bovay(founder of the republican party) & hallelujah as a shot at religious prejudice. Also Russia was super homophobic and disgusting to the LGBTQ community in one of their Olympic games. There’s also a place called Nara in...Japan i wanna say and they worship deer like gods. And when he says “He’s found me, my Aslan” he’s talking about finding the love of his life and how that person has become his protector and finds confidence in them. Its just all super sweet and moving!! 

13. Favorite movie?

Tbh i rlly don’t like movies bc I get antsy and too curious about the ending so I usually look them up and see how they end 😂 But if I rlly had to choose it would be... probably the XMen movies??

29. give a random fact!

Wait, about me or stuff I know? 👀 bc i honestly know how to fold a fitted sheet and I actually rlly dont like dogs except for my big scooby boy Hankie. (Can I show a pic?) and a big phat fact is im a mommy and my oldest is turning three tomorrow or really today and i wanna cry.

Those weren’t rlly facts but I had a flight or fight moment so I just spat out whatever... SORRY !! 👀
