President Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people … Today, an oligarchy is taking shape.” @atrupar
One of the best speeches of Biden's presidency was his last.
A love letter to the best of America and important admonitions about the future.
His warnings about the dangers the Tech-Industrial Complex and emerging oligarchy were true and important.
A fitting farewell.
“Due to climate change, natural disasters now occur with greater frequency; the intensity and destructive power of hurricanes and wildfires are increasing.
One of the reasons we're here is because there has been a drive, even by people who should know better, to bury the past. We need to be prepared, and the best way to do that is to remember what has already happened.
It isn’t only worsening natural disasters we need to worry about—bird flu is on the rise again. As of now, according to the Centers for Disease Control, there have been 66 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu. The first confirmed death was announced this week in Louisiana."

#Jan6th
On the 4th anniversary of January 6th, I share this video to remind us of the insurrectionists' intentions. Our committee presented the truth, despite contradictions and challenges. No matter how Trump or Republicans try to deny it, the truth stands. We will never forget!
Media: @MollyJongFast: “'If #DonaldTrump pardons #January6th rioters,' law professor @JoyceWhiteVance wrote on the @BrennanCenter’s blog, 'he would be using the pardon power to erase an attack on Constitution and country.'
"Such a move could only empower right-wing extremist groups whose members were involved, like the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters militia.
'Research shows that this use of the pardon power can damage the rule of law in the United States,' academic @M_H_Becker wrote for @ConversationUS. “It undermines one of the tools against violence that law enforcement can bring to bear—deterrence.'” https://t.co/t5JwNMiGh4 @VanityFair
Don’t accept the rewrite of the history of January 6. Believe what you saw with your own eyes and what republican and democratic lawmakers alike condemned in realtime, many of them fearing for their own safety. None of those facts have changed. Only the politics.
On January 11th from 3-5 PM EST, I’m teaching a class on the Prose Poem—that hybrid creature that wields the techniques of poetry but forgoes its line breaks. There are still spots left; I hope you’ll join me!

It's been a chilly few days, as we brace ourselves for the deluge overnight. The flock have all their feeders full and sheltered areas. We can do no more until the morning arrives. There a hardy bunch...

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is among our nation’s highest honors. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award than you, @HillaryClinton. I’m so happy we could celebrate together.
