President Biden, I’ve Seen Enough

Posted on June 27, 2024 by Jim deMaine

By Nicholas Kristof in the NYT

President Biden is a good man who capped a long career in public service with a successful presidential term. But I hope he reviews his debate performance Thursday evening and withdraws from the race, throwing the choice of a Democratic nominee to the convention in August.

One of the perils facing this country, I believe and Biden believes, is the risk of a victory by Donald Trump. And after the debate, it’s hard to avoid the feeling that Biden remaining in the race increases the likelihood that Trump will move into the White House in January.

Biden has never been a great debater, but his voice and manner didn’t put to rest the doubts about his age and effectiveness. Rather, he amplified them. I happened to chat today with a woman who is undecided about whom to vote for — she says she distrusts both Trump and Biden but will choose based on who will do better for the economy — and I bet that now she will be supporting Trump.

In some sense, this may be unfair. This was one debate. A candidate’s physical frailty, hoarse voice and rambling responses may not be good predictors of how that person will govern. But in this election, they probably are good predictors that the candidate will lose in November and not have a chance to govern again.

We see the world through narratives, and one of the narratives about Biden is that he is too old. His performance reinforced that narrative when he needed to shatter it. Biden, unable to puncture Trump’s repeated falsehoods, allowed a convicted felon to win the debate.

Biden can resolve this by withdrawing from the race. There isn’t time to hold new primaries, but he could throw the choice of a successor to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The Democratic Party has some prominent figures who I think would be in a good position to defeat Trump in November, among them Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Gina Raimondo, the secretary of commerce. And there are many others.

My phone has been blowing up with texts from people saying, as one put it: “Dear God. What are we going to do?” Another, also a fan of Biden, texted: “It’s imperative we change horses.” But Democrats have been reluctant to say this out loud and undermine Biden. So it will be up to Joe and Jill Biden to make this choice themselves.

This will be a wrenching choice. But, Mr. President, one way you can serve your country in 2024 is by announcing your retirement and calling on delegates to replace you, for that is the safest course for our nation.

2028 Presidential Candidate? Newsom Uses Annual State Address to Confront Republicans Across the Nation

Posted on June 27, 2024 by Jim deMaine

In an unconventional version of the State of the State, Gov. Gavin Newsom attacked Republicans and held up California as a beacon of democracy.

By Shawn Hubler in the NYT

Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, whose liberal state has been hammered by Republicans for months as a hellscape of homelessness, crime and high taxes, used his annual State of the State address on Tuesday to slam “conservatives and delusional California bashers” and defend “the California way of life.”

Rather than appear before a joint session of the State Legislature, Mr. Newsom prerecorded his speech and posted it on social media, directing his message at least as much to a national audience as to Californians. It came two days before former President Donald Trump and President Biden were scheduled to debate in Atlanta, where Mr. Newsom was expected to appear in the so-called spin room as a feisty surrogate.

In his remarks, which hinted at arguments Mr. Biden is likely to touch upon on Thursday, Mr. Newsom presented the Democratic policies that are California’s hallmark as an “antidote to the poisonous populism of the right.”

Mr. Newsom, 56, has been among the president’s most visible supporters, and has long contended that Democrats have underestimated the hostility of the MAGA Republican movement. He has been viewed as a future presidential candidate and has seemed to relish challenging conservatives head on. (continued)

Federal Officials Revise Recommendations for R.S.V. Vaccine

Posted on June 27, 2024 by Jim deMaine

Among Americans aged 60 to 74, only those with certain health conditions need to receive the shots, the agency concluded.

In an unusual move, federal health officials revised their recommendations for who should receive the vaccine against the respiratory syncytial virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended last year that adults age 60 or older could receive a single lifetime dose of an R.S.V. vaccine, in consultation with their health care providers.

On Wednesday, scientific advisers to the agency reframed that guideline. Based on recent safety and effectiveness data, they unanimously recommended that all Americans age 75 and older receive one dose of an R.S.V. vaccine.

But for adults 60 to 74 years of age, the panel endorsed vaccination only for those with certain serious conditions, such as chronic heart or lung disease, advanced kidney disease and diabetes with organ damage.

Researchers Have Found a Creative Way To Save Forests: They’re Letting Trees Tweet

Posted on June 26, 2024 by Jim deMaine

From Good Good Good. Thanks to Pam P.

In July 2018, a century-old red oak went live on Twitter. The account @awitnesstree, tweeting from the Harvard Forest in Petersham, Massachusetts, introduces itself in its bio:

WITNESSING LIFE AS A TREE IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. VIEWS ARE MY OWN – SORT OF (DATA TRANSLATED BY SCIENTISTS AND COMMUNICATORS AT HF).

Every few days, the tree updates its 9,118 followers. On February 24 2020 it posted: “The last 2 days were extremely hot for February. When is this heatwave going to end?”

The day before, it had complained even more:

In 2019, it just kept raining and snowing. Overall, it was the 8th wettest year I have experienced here at Harvard Forest. We all need water, but when there's too much, I have a harder time getting oxygen and keeping stable footing in the soil.

Now, after a hiatus due to COVID-related challenges, the Witness Tree is coming back online.

The tree’s messages are based on data from a suite of sensors on and around its trunk, using a real-time approach to tree monitoring pioneered by Witness Tree’s inspiration and sister project TreeWatch.net.

Led by Ghent University, TreeWatch.net set up its first tweeting tree in 2016, and currently monitors sensor data from 21 trees across Belgium, Germany, India, the Netherlands and the UK.

The sensors fitted to Harvard’s Witness Tree include a ribbon embedded in its trunk to track water flow, a spring-loaded pin pushing against its bark to monitor shrinkage and swelling and a camera to capture leaf growth. (continued)

No AC but the ‘greenest’ ever Games? Inside Paris’ landmark Olympic Village

When Paris last hosted the Summer Olympics 100 years ago, organizers were so keen to bring athletes under the same roof that they built the first-ever Olympic Village.

It was spartan, made up of furnished wood huts, and it was razed shortly after.

The competition is back in the City of Lights a century later, but French officials are doing something completely different this time around. As part of their effort to make Paris 2024 the “most responsible and sustainable games in history,” they’re building something that’s meant to last.

“This village was thought up as a neighborhood, a neighborhood that is going to have a life afterwards,” said Georgina Grenon, the Paris 2024 director of sustainability. “Paris 2024 is renting it for a few months.”

Instead of rooming in apartments tailor-made for them, athletes in the Olympic Village this summer will be living in what will become someone else’s home or workplace.

Once the Paralympics have finished on September 8, the village — which contains 82 buildings — will be converted into office space for 6,000 workers and apartments to house another 6,000 people. (continued)

Today’s Teenagers Have Invented a Language That Captures the World Perfectly

Posted on June 25, 2024 by Jim deMaine

By Stephen Marche in the NYT. (Thanks to Put B.)

Mr. Marche is the author, most recently, of “The Next Civil War.”

My son just completed high school and when he leaves for college in the fall my life will change in ways I’m still struggling to contemplate. Among the things I’ll miss most are his lessons in teenage slang. My son has always been generous with me, and I’ve found the slang of his generation to be so much better and more useful than any that I’ve ever used. His slang has also offered me an accidental and useful portrait of how he and his generation see the world.

The primary value of slang has been to create linguistic shibboleths, a way to differentiate yourself quickly from other people. Sometimes the distinction was generational, sometimes it was racial, and sometimes it was ideological, but the slang itself was ultimately a form of social etiquette. From one generation to the next, the terms changed, but the meanings typically didn’t. New words were routinely adopted to express familiar concepts: one generation’s “cool” becomes another’s “dope” and so on.

Members of my son’s generation have a vastly superior approach to slang. They’ve devised a language that responds to the new and distinct reality they face.

Anyone with children, especially ones on the cusp of adulthood, has to reckon with the shameful fact that the world we’re leaving them is so much worse than the one we brought them into. My son’s slang reflects that: It’s a distinct language created for a society that’s characterized, online and off, by collapsing institutions, erosions in trust and a loss of faith in a shared sense of meaning.

“Mid” is an obvious example. I don’t think it even qualifies as teenage slang anymore — it’s too useful and, by now, too widespread. In my son’s usage, things that are mid are things that are essentially average or slightly below. You can’t really complain about them, but they produce no joy. They’re often the result of the refinement of market research to the exact level that tepid consumer acceptance is achieved. Everything in Starbucks falls into the category of “mid.” So does everything in an airport. It’s a brilliant, precise word for a world full of mild disappointments, where the corner bakery that used to do some things well and other things poorly has been reliably replaced by yet another Le Pain Quotidien.

Jamie Pederson honors Rep. Frank Chopp

Posted on June 24, 2024 by Jim deMaine

Thanks to Mary Jane F.

Dear friends and neighbors, When Rep. Frank Chopp retires from the Legislature at the end of the year, he will leave a legacy of transformational change for the 43rd Legislative District and our entire state. Frank’s remarkable 30-year career in Olympia has helped improve countless lives. I am incredibly grateful for his service, partnership, and friendship over the years. Frank was a skilled community organizer when he was first elected to the House in 1994. In that election, Democrats suffered a catastrophic defeat, losing 29 seats and going from a 65-33 majority to a 62-36 minority. Frank led his caucus back to the majority, serving as Speaker of the House from 1999 to 2019. His leadership produced many historic moments for our state, including the passage of the marriage equality bill in 2012 (which he had just signed in the photo above). For the last few years, freed of his leadership duties, Frank focused tirelessly on housing and behavioral health. He has helped lead the legislature’s efforts in creating affordable housing through the Housing Trust Fund; expanding healthcare to children through the Apple Health for Kids program; and integrating behavioral health and healthcare systems and building out new facilities such as the UW Behavioral Health Hospital. He also played a key role in our state’s efforts to fund education, make our economy more fair, help workers organize, protect our air and water, and invest in critical infrastructure. On a personal level, Frank has been a mentor and friend who has helped shape my own approach to public service. I’d like to share three moments from my last three years serving in the House with Frank. In the 2011 session, Frank collaborated closely with me, Rep. (and now Speaker) Laurie Jinkins, and Sen. David Frockt to develop a challenge to a series of Tim Eyman-backed initiatives that purported to require 2/3 supermajorities for the Legislature to raise taxes. For nearly 20 years, those initiatives had prevented the Legislature from doing anything but cutting services to balance our budgets – and the Supreme Court had rejected multiple challenges on procedural grounds. But in our case, League of Education Voters v. State of Washington, the Supreme Court struck down all of those initiatives and held that the state constitution required that tax bills pass or fail based on the will of a majority of legislators in each chamber. That decision has freed us to make rational policy over the last 10 years as we worked to make our tax system more fair and adequate to meet the needs of the people of Washington. In the 2012 session, I was the House prime sponsor of the marriage equality bill.  We had agreed that the Senate would try to pass the bill first, because we did not know if we had a majority in support. My job was to help that effort by proving that we had the votes in the House to pass it. I needed 50 signatures to demonstrate that we had a majority – but I had several colleagues who said that they would vote for the bill but did not want to put their name on it. So for a few days, I was stuck at 49. As House Speaker, Frank had a strong policy of never sponsoring bills so that he could demonstrate that he led the chamber fairly. But when I went to him and asked him to be the 50th sponsor, he did not hesitate to break his self-imposed rule and thanked me for asking him. In the 2013 session, in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, Frank and I worked closely on a bill requiring background checks for all gun purchases. He shut down floor action in the House for days as we worked furiously to marshal the votes for the bill. Although we were unsuccessful that year, the voters passed the bill as Initiative 594 in November 2014, and Washington began its sustained work to enact gun violence prevention legislation, continuing to this day. In all of those efforts – and many others – Frank’s passion, skilled organizing, and strong progressive values helped achieve success. I am certain that dozens of my legislative colleagues could tell similar stories about the issues on which he has improved the lives of people in our state. Frank, thank you for your service and commitment to the people of Washington. I will miss serving with you. Thanks for taking the time to read my newsletter. This will conclude my series of e-newsletters on the 2024 legislative session.

NYT letter about the tax code

Posted on June 24, 2024 by Jim deMaine

Thanks to Mike C.: A good letter in 6/23/24  NY Times (that I did not write):

To the Editor:

In his anguished attempt to place the country’s woes at the doorstep of progressives, David Brooks ignores the single greatest creation of inequality in the U.S. today — the tax code. Progressives did not pass the Reagan tax cuts of 1981, nor the Bush tax cuts of 2001, nor the Trump tax cuts of 2017, which have shifted enormous wealth from the middle class to the very wealthy — a shift that shows no signs of abating anytime soon.

The economic divide in this country has not been unwittingly created. The divide is the result of concerted effort by a greedy class, not the educated class. The educated class, though, has been better at navigating the resulting system than the working class, an effect that the wealthy class has used to divide and conquer to insure that the educated and working classes do not finally work together to create a more just society.

Juneteenth

Posted on June 18, 2024 by Jim deMaine

On “Freedom’s Eve,” or the eve of January 1, 1863, the first Watch Night services took place. On that night, enslaved and free African Americans gathered in churches and private homes all across the country awaiting news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. At the stroke of midnight, prayers were answered as all enslaved people in Confederate States were declared legally free. Union soldiers, many of whom were black, marched onto plantations and across cities in the south reading small copies of the Emancipation Proclamation spreading the news of freedom in Confederate States. Only through the Thirteenth Amendment did emancipation end slavery throughout the United States.

But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as “Juneteenth,” by the newly freed people in Texas. 

What is the Black national anthem?

James Weldon Johnson’s “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” colloquially known as the Black national anthem, was originally written late in 1899, James Weldon Johnson Foundation president Rufus Jones said. 

Johnson, a renowned author, educator, lawyer and civil rights activist, set out to write a poem to to commemorate President Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, and the piece became a song. His brother, John Rosamond Johnson, composed the music.

Ed note: My daughter is a member of Resounding Love, a gospel choir, which was invited to sing the national anthem and Lift Ev’ry Voice at a special Juneteenth match of the Seattle Reign vs. Portland Thorns at Lumen Field last weekend!

Sharks Deny Any Interest in Eating Trump

Posted on June 18, 2024 by Jim deMaine
Thanks to Pam P.
(The Borowitz Report)—Calling his longstanding fear of being devoured by them “delusional thinking at its saddest,” the world’s sharks issued a statement on Tuesday disavowing “any interest whatsoever” in eating Donald J. Trump.“Given his constant intake of Diet Coke and hamburgers, there is nothing to indicate that Trump would be anything resembling a nutritious meal,” the sharks’ statement read. “The very thought of biting into him is nauseating.

”The sharks said that Trump’s anxiety about being eaten by them demonstrates “an inflated sense of his appeal, to say the least.”“We thought the same thing when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed he was eaten by a worm,” the sharks wrote. “Why do these narcissists think they’re so delicious?”In perhaps their most withering comment, the sharks concluded, “We might consider eating Trump if the only other thing on the menu was Steve Bannon.”
