Oh thank you, Kathy. My husband works in animation and the writers strike has finally hit us. We will be ok. So many in LA are struggling right now. Compared to many weā€™re so fortunate.

Does an attorney have to be convicted of a crime to be disbarred? Otherwise, one wonders why Eastman still has a license to practice in California or anywhere else.

I think they are in the process of trying to disbar him right now.

Thanks for this. I love the DT cartoon. May he slip on one of those banana peels.It helped after reading about the Jacksonville hate crime murders. I was going to take the day off from writing postcards to vote out a MAGA Republican congressman in California who opposes common sense gun safety laws. After reading about the murders I just had to take pen in hand and start in on another 55.

to add to the list, there is a course at Yale (available free on Coursera) called the Science of Well Being. it is about happiness and is the most popular class of all time at Yale. that says something about our upcoming leaders, i hope. they have just added an extension of the course for teens.
