Going shopping downtown in my small town today. I haven't done that in a long time and I'm kind of excited about it. I don't think I would have done it had it not been for #weaintbuyingit.

I think my kids' high school was reasonably good, and both of them can write coherently. What bothers me is how little they were expected to read in high school. E.g. AP Lit was one or two required novels and an elective project. I think if you develop a habit of reading long form and challenging...

This was my thought exactly, but I couldn't figure out how to express it. I want people to enjoy holidays with their family and friends however they choose and whatever they choose to eat. But when your life goal is to lie and make innocent people suffer, then anything you put online is fair game.
i don't generally think it's nice to make fun of people's food but when the person in question is a hatemongering fascist i can make an exception

We've actually been under the rule of an oligarchy of 5 for years now. Seems like focusing on scotus and reforming the entire rest of the judicial system to actually function as it's intended would go a long way toward remediating that.
What we need is a new constituent act by the People
Wherein we say, as a matter of pure present-tense sovereign will, "these are to be our governing institutions"

One of my loneliest hobby horses is that a ton of the problems we have in the US right now are all very directly related to the constitution having been ossified via Article V, and unsticking it would resolve a ton of them

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Watch red state Republicans. Not that they're going to suddenly develop consciences, but that they're going to see openings to break away from not just the domination of Trump, but of their state governors and political leaders as well. We're even starting to see a few cracks in Arkansas.

In a way, the pardon is why we're here. Ford pardoning Nixon set the tone for how to deal with presidential and executive branch criminality in general. It's crucial that Trump be followed by Democratic president. Right now he's getting more incentive daily to step down and let Vance pardon him.
