Girl Ranger, Faye Daniels was fighting for Public Education and Teachers. She is still rallying!!

A 71-year-old Statesville woman was among the 14 demonstrators arrested early Wednesday, about 10 hours after entering the office of House Speaker Thom Tillis at N.C. Legislative Building in Raleigh. “It is not about me,” Faye Lewark Daniels told the Observer in a Facebook message Wednesday afternoon after a reporter left a phone message at her home. “I don’t like the direction that our state is going in and if we ALL work together, we can make a difference,” Daniels said. “It is about ALL the people of North Carolina and not just a select few.”
Daniels said she is a retired administrative assistant and hadn’t slept since Tuesday morning. Her Facebook page says that she retired from the Dare County Board of Education and that she attended Manteo High School, in the coastal town of Manteo, the county seat of Dare County.
A photo on her Facebook page shows her holding a placard that says, “Repeal Attacks on Public Education and Teachers.”
OUch! Tariffs……
Guess which Villa Jolanda Prosecco is $15? Answer: 750ml on the right is $15 today. 187.5ml on the left goes to $17 after April 2 (or when the magic wand of tariffs is waved) In case downsizing is not for you, the 750ml goes to $45.

§21. Restraint, regulation, and removal
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, and the President makes public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being of the age of fourteen years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies. The President is authorized in any such event, by his proclamation thereof, or other public act, to direct the conduct to be observed on the part of the United States, toward the aliens who become so liable; the manner and degree of the restraint to which they shall be subject and in what cases, and upon what security their residence shall be permitted, and to provide for the removal of those who, not being permitted to reside within the United States, refuse or neglect to depart therefrom; and to establish any other regulations which are found necessary in the premises and for the public safety.
Here’s an example. Have fun.

LEADER…
I am in Europe. In Germany. Yesterday I visited the site of Nuremburg War Crimes Trials and viewed the space pictured. It is known simply as Courtroom 600 and its museum includes compelling documentation of how the trials came about which was an international effort. But the United States was the leader. A moment in time when America was not only first but also the best. May we find that moment again.

I read HCR…
I read Heather Cox Richardson, journalist and commentator on current events every morning or evening when I am slower and the world is slower and I can digest what is happening. And I am wonder what I am going to do. What I am not going to do is be anxious and worried and upset which could just make me eat too much and the wrong thing or have a drink or go to bed early.
What I am going to do is listen to young people and what they are up to and what they are concerned about.
Coleman is going to bring me a CD of his mother singing, two actually, one of popular music and one of religious music, both making a joyful noise. Coleman is Davis’s new friend he met in Scrooge and then he came over postproduction to sit in the hot tub and have a charcuterie board with Tristan Christmas present and singer Billy from Love Actually at the intermission and Isabel Scrooge’s almost wife that he didn’t have enough time for as he was working and making money. Isabel is Bianca. And Karina who worked backstage on the production and Coleman who was the soup vendor and singer who lead the ensemble on “Thank You Very Much” to Scrooge for dying. We just saw Coleman in “The Importance of Being Earnest” at Belmont Abbey theater, a comedy by Oscar Wilde written in 1900 and still funny.
I am going to listen and fix chacuterie boards and respond to Julia’s lament on Instagram about being sad and crying on the sofa with her friend and having too much caffeine.
And go to Macon to visit Phillip and his Julia. And follow Alexander and what he is posting on TikTok
And work on the quilt for Stephanie slowing but surely.
There was a time when I marched for Civil Rights, 6 months pregnant on Trade Street in 1969.
I haven’t even written a letter to a congressperson.
Cathy Tisdale did on email and then printed it out and mailed it hard copy and also called. She is selecting one issue at a time and reaching out to make her voice heard.
Some say this is the end of our democracy and we will be an autocracy like Russia and Turkey and I don’t know where but where the wealthy are the rulers and the common people have no or little rights. When I was growing up this kind of civilization was in history books, ancient times and here we are fighting for our country against the president and Congress.
I get requests for money to help flip 3 seats.
“I am begging”
“I can’t believe this”
“Barack just broke his silence”
“Rachel Maddow warning”
Is it so that if we and if I had just done a little more last year, he would not have been elected for this second term?

Hold Cat
Find a bird poem
Go to the mountains to teach writing
Have organizations fulfill their dreams, provide employment and a great place to work
Thank the poets
And okay, write a letter to thank Klobuchar and Schiff and finally, even McConnell.
And don’t forget watching Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live playing James Brown in a hot tub.
And the Einstein documentary on Prime Video.
Grandchildren, this is what I am saying so far about these times January, 2025 when Trump was inaugurated.

distress signals…
El Capitan. National Park Staff hung this flag
Would love to see this sign of distress displayed in every national park and on every federal building where staff has been ruthlessly removed.
we only know ..
We only know what we know, and see what we see, based on the information we admit into our awareness in any moment.
This photo was taken from a sailing schooner as the sun set over Penobscot Bay in Vinalhaven, ME, last September. When I gaze at it, I realize that it could as easily be seen as an image of sun rising.
The defining quality is light, casting the image of water, islet, shoreline, and the rigging of the ship that carried us, into awareness.
Where do you see light? And how do you carry it in the world, moment by moment?
"My candle burns, not to dispel the darkness, but to put for the Light." - Charlie Siegel. I suggest this is one of the many ways us Girl Rangers can hold the unsettlement of the times we find ourselves living. The light we carry, if we choose it, can illuminate, revealing what needs our energy and attention--and provide a source that is always, always true, no matter the circumstance.

in a time like this…
Spending Presidents’ Day protesting the oligarchy at our local courthouse in West Chester, PA, with overwhelming support from passing motorists. Not our first rodeo and we’ve never seen so much horn-honking enthusiasm.
I saw a poem by Loren Brantz on FB containing these lines: “ In a time like this/Joy is an act of resistance./Resist… My first sticker idea! Now to figure out where to stick them!
