Mom, word nerd, ADHD, she/her. These are a few of my favorite things: curiosity, creativity, nourishment, beauty, and humor.

Fun fact: the Rabbis removed the Ten Commandments out of our core liturgy (Shema &tc) bc the Jewish Christians were SOOPER into it & the Rabbis wanted to be clear that the 10 weren’t superior to the other 603 mitzvot in Torah. So we’re clear that this 👇 is Christian supremacy. & a 1A violation.

This. Cases that turn on statutory interpretation rather than constitutional grounds are, in theory, easily overturned by amending the Statute. The problem isn't that Congress can't do it; it's that Congress won't.

Also no one likes to think about death but one of the kindest things you can do is let people know in advance what you would like to happen after, so no one has to make decisions for you

At some point people are going to realize that well-spoken likeable (to other white men) white men are not necessarily intelligent or capable; they just remind the person in power (who is invariably a white man) of themselves.

When we talk about "taxing rich people" there's folks who think we're talking about Aunt Edna who has the second summer home. The astronomical levels of "rich" that now exist are almost unfathomable to people. It's the stuff of vast empirical dynasties. We're talking about taxing emperors.

I'm a Jewish mom, so feeding people is definitely how I say "I love you". You have a tired, hungry child in you that could really use a bowl full of soup love. Can you commit to sitting down in front of the pho with your utensils of choice? Just that little baby step, then see how you feel.
