Welcome to my area! I hope you can afford to move near-ish to the school...

So, the corrupt vs. the legitimate justices. Surprise, surprise.

Does this mean that President Biden can order Donald Trump executed? Vacate the corrupt members of SCOTUS and imprison them? I'm good with that, if he chooses to do so. If we're going to shitcan democracy, I'd rather it be done by people who respect abortion and LGBTQ rights.

My PTSD wasn't diagnosed until I was 47. ADHD diagnosis waited until I was 60. I'm still here. Fixing the country is going to be that messy several hundred times over. Everything SUCKS, and I'm finally tired of being afraid of it all. #stillherestillworking is the battle cry of our times.

5. Wanna win? These are the messages to hammer home as right-wingers tell teachers they have to promote the Bible, pregnant people die because the right denies them healthcare, and as this corrupt SCOTUS's decisions make all of our lives harder. OK; rant over. I'm out.

4. And if your issue *is* Gaza (again, support) you still cannot, in any universe where the laws of reality apply, claim that the GOP is a better bet for your vote.

4. I'll take an otherwise mostly honest and mostly honorable (for a politician), obviously old man who has hired and leads a competent government over insurrectionist, religious extremist, incompetents every day and twice on Sundays.

3. The message needs to continue to be: see the obvious corruption/billionaire ass-kissing/glaring contempt for human decency and human rights of today's GOP and its bought-and-paid for SCOTUS? If you don't want more of the same -- and want to be *able* to vote in 2026 & 28 -- vote straight Dem.

2. No one who has already drunk the right's Koolaid will be persuaded otherwise. No one on the left who is unable to look past Gaza (for understandable reasons) will change their minds, either.

1. This whole crisis about the debate has lost me. Why the surprise? One is a malignant narcicist/rapist/pathological liar, and the other is, yes, an old man who has still done more for working ppl in this country against worst odds than most U.S. presidents have even attempted.

Perhaps related, a college instructor a long time ago said something that has stuck with me years later: "A main difference between Gandhi and Hitler was that Gandhi knew he could've been Hitler." Which I take to mean even the otherwise best people can be v. good at justifying our bad actions.

I've been covering nonprofit burnout -- and funders' responsibility for it -- for @insidephilanthropy.com about two years now. The lack of mainstream coverage of this issue/philanthropy generally sometimes makes me want to chew walls. #philanthropy

If I'm near my computer, I look up the number calling me while the phone is ringing. Otherwise, this is exactly right -- if it's important it can go to voicemail.

IIRC, Bush winning (I believe he actually lost the popular vote) had at least something to do w/the "don't switch horses" rhetoric around "Iraq War Pt. 2-- Making Daddy Proud of Me."

I obvs. don't condone how they treated you. They have also been struggling a lot since Covid and so that may have contributed to the general AAARGHHHH!!! With any luck, this will be remedied for next year. Or I won't go.

Yeah, I just emailed asking for a refund of the many hundreds I donated this past year -- and a promise to make life hell if they don't clean this up. I'm no big deal, but I am a friend of the co-founder and one of the area's SF fans with a bit of $$.

Thank God they got it right. Now if only the corrupt TrumpJudge in Florida would be impeached so we could get him tried fairly for stealing government documents.

This is another professional post, but it's an important issue: @rwjfoundation.bsky.social's grant to combat systemic bias in home appraisals illustrates something that other #funders seem to be ignoring. For @insidephilanthropy.com
