Watching CLE videos recorded before this Trump administration is funny and depressing. Like, all these dudes think there is a rule of law and that the Supreme Court would follow any rules other than craven deference.

On this 4th of July, I worry for the USA, its citizens, & its residents.
Democracy & the commonweal are our cornerstones, and if we forget that we are responsible for ourselves AND for our neighbors, we will continue to lose those cornerstones.
God bless America, and may He have mercy on us, too.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year
And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor
And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Please note: Someone who grew up in Dalton (or Evergreen Park, or Berwyn, or Norridge, etc) is more “from Chicago” than someone who grew up in the Loop. I don’t know why, but that’s the truth.
