Breaking news --coup in Burma--Daw Aung San Suu Kyi detained. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/31/world/asia/myanmar-coup-aung-san-suu-kyi.html This is all I know, --from NYT. Terrible feeling of deja vu.  This is the only way it could end--9 years, 2012-2021 of fake or facade democracy. Of course feel free to share. I wonder if those who jumped the fence feel it was worth it. I'm glad I focused on fiction and visual arts and my health since 2012. Now the dead in the water "Burmese democracy movement overseas" will find it hard to activate on Daw Suu's behalf. Death, old age and attrition have decimated its ranks, and will be much harder now to pull ourselves up by our white hair. And some may not want to or be able to. km 1-31-2021

Congressman tested positive for Covid, even though he completed vaccination both shots   https://www.newsweek.com/rep-stephen-lynch-tests-positive-covid-19-despite-receiving-both-vaccine-doses-1565553 I hope it's a false +ive. It just shows, being vaccinated does not mean everyone is wholey protected--he must be in the 10% or so-- when they say "over 90% efficacy." I would just put masks in my "fashion" wardrobe from now on, and also social distance, wh I do anyway. Americans are very spoiled--here's the Virus telling us to "suck it up." km 1-30-2021

gop is a cult--from Twitter--

gop in serious identity crisis like sheep in Animal Farm bleating "4 legs good, 2 legs bad" 1-29-2021     Kyi Kaung   @KyiKaung   · 8m M T Greene and gop are done for if they keep supporting these nut job criminals. Quote Tweet Victoria Brownworth #NoUnityWithoutAccountability @VABVOX · 54m GOP leadership has targeted Liz Cheney for removal from Congress for voting against Trump, not Marjorie Taylor Greene for threatening the lives of Speaker Pelosi, 4 WOC Congresswomen, trying daily to bring a gun onto the House floor and spewing racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric.   You Retweeted   White supremacy kills @madmissmattie   · 7h A teacher of mine once told me one of the most obvious signs of a cult is if they aren't able to show respect to members who dissent.

Article of Impeachment (2nd) delivered --to Senate Floor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRg0noa2jj4 I just love it when the folks in black walk across that Hall. There have only been 4 impeachments in US history, and of those 2 are--guess who? Three United States presidents have been impeached, although none were convicted: Andrew Johnson in 1868 , Bill Clinton in 1998 , and Donald Trump in 2019 and 2021 . Trump is the only president (and only federal officeholder) to be impeached twice. 1 Democrat and 2 Republicans have been impeached in the US. Richard Nixon resigned as a result of the Watergate Scandal in 1974, after the House Judiciary Committee passed articles of impeachment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachments_of_presidents_of_the_United_States MD.

Too gossipy not to post-- https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/01/14/secret-service-bathroom-ivanka-trump-jared-kushner/ Javanka wld not let Secret Service use their bathrooms to take a leak. S.Service had to rent a basement apartment in Kalorama for nature's call,or go to Obamas' or Pences'. Apartment is $3000 a month. I am quite familiar with Kalorama bc both Burmese Embassy, and Military Attache are there, and that is where they harassed us abt our passports before 1988. Later, went to demonstrations regularly --once PM in Exile's wife arrested for crossing the street and posting something on Bur Emb front door, another time someone smashed the windscreen of a dissident's car, wh he parked in their driveway.  Most times they videotaped from top floor from behind a curtain. I told young people not to go into Burmese embassy to go to toilet. Also old Textile Museum, now owned by Jeff Bezos, was there. Once my friend and I were walking around
