It’s his fault. Almost all of it. The Supreme Court. The refined racism. The support of Trump in exchange for more power. His legacy is now the equivalent of the repulsive warm slosh at the bottom of your garbage can that’s baked for 3 days after an August rain. @LeaderMcConnell

The Summer of ‘24, in which @LouisvilleMBB and @KentuckyMBB fans doze on towels and lounges at the beach, at the lake, or on their porch looking at the sun but daydreaming about their new coaches, new teams, and the season that comes. #L1C4 @MattJonesRadio @CardChronicle

#Project2025 awaits a Democratic Party, and a nation, unless it truly acts like these are the extraordinary, dangerous, and unprecedented times they are.

Your trip to the grocery store could take 2 hours. But you should be used to it because that’s how we treat the poor in America. @ridetarc @LouPubMedia @divya_krthk

Real photo. True story. If the bison had taken “one step closer” or Old Faithful @yellowstonenps had erupted one moment later Johnny Murphy could not have captured this elusive moment. We prayed. He took the shot. He’s good.

Published less than a year ago, when she lied under oath in court. Since then, with the DOJ watching, she, @LMPD and @LouisvilleMayorhave made a lie out of any commitment Louisville needs to make in a consent decree and to our community. Defund the Police? Man, just defund her.

In 1968 Apollo 8 astronaut William Anders took a photograph of the rest of us and changed the perspective of many about the earth as our home. Anders died this week, a week in which the UN Sec. General warned, again, that our home is heading toward “climate hell”. His words.

Justice Alito would deny he’s actually an insurrectionist. His actions say he is. No responsible legal authority believes he or Justice Thomas should sit for the #January6 case. The Rule of Law hangs by a thread, upside down from the front of his Alito’s house. Sing with me now . . .

Harrison Butker’s commencement speech translated: “Make me a sandwich”. Christian Nationalists have simply re-packaged old, patriarchal, White Supremecist themes in shiny new cross-embossed language. The Right are wrong.

We need to start over @JCPSKY. A system built “Separate But Equal” has been irreparable ever since. Now its pieces are scattered on the table and floor, and it can’t be fixed. It has to be rebuilt. @courierjournal

Please don’t waste our time with your obvious takes that “it’s different money” and the value of big time college sports and state pride and everything else. I know. And I’m a sports person. I’ve coached more basketball than you’ve watched.This is about priorities. And, really: It is the same money

The very clearly right thing for #JusticeThomas to do is recuse himself. His failure to do that undercuts the tiny sliver of what’s left of the Supreme Court’s credibility, and maybe its legitimacy

Emily Bingham is right. Basic empathy - even decency - requires now that we retire this song. It’s the musical equivalent of a Confederate statue in the middle of the track. At this point, it’s a statement - a discredited statement from which we should move. emilybingham.net/books/my-old...

A woman without means in Florida has the option of driving to North Carolina for medical care. There, she pays for a hotel for the 3-day waiting period, or, to Virginia, where there‘s no ban but her rights aren’t protected, either. Land of the Free.

Take a friend or out of town visitor to the Infield to give them a taste? $260. Before a $22 mint julep. No access to the Paddock. America continues to take its spaces away from anyone but the wealthy. Don’t bet on it getting better, across the board. #KentuckyDerby150

3/ And so, too, is the gleam. The justices who are now only trying to save the Republic are on an island screaming at the sky with no hope of rescue. This edifice, formerly bursting with democratic potential, is as corrupt now as a two-bit strip mall casino but a better bet.

2/ Hope for the rest, at least for a few years which began to end when I studied it in law school. I briefed a case for the Court and briefly became pen pals with the Justice who wrote Roe v. Wade. He’s dead, now, and so is that law.

Louisville’s worship of cars, highways, suburbs and developers has left it without public transportation, which leaves @JCPSKY in the air, too. That bus left decades ago, you missed it.

If you build it they will come. House Bill 2 gives us the chance to amend the Constitution so public money can pay for private schools. Your tax dollars to teach homophobia, racism, the Pro Life lies and other hate. @kyGOP @GOP
