I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

The Kansas Supreme Court reaffirmed abortion protections in the state’s Constitution on Friday. It struck down Republican-backed laws that banned a common second-trimester abortion procedure and that created new licensing requirements for abortion clinics.

Why is Biden only running in Biden? He should be running in Harris, Haaland, Buttigieg, Regan, Murthy, and all the rest of the people who come with him. And he’s not just running against Trump, but against Miller, Bannon, Kushner, Bolton, Kid Rock and Nazi ghouls who come with him. Message better.

Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

One the one hand, it gave kids hope and encouraged them to keep doing therapy. On the other hand, it could give kids a feeling of failure. If FDR got better, why can’t I?

1) He would be seen as weak 2) more importantly, he wanted to give hope to children with polio that it was possible to walk again. In my disability history class we talk about the pros and cons of making this choice!

It could be a wonderful moment to have a nuanced convo about ability, if the media would, I don’t know, be responsible? Read a book? We only have a couple of images of FDR in a wheelchair because he had an agreement with the media that they wouldn’t print any! Because there was a fear that…

And although the image is supposed to refer to Biden’s mental capabilities, a walker is a mobility aid and uh, FDR ran the country just fine* with his wheelchair. *im not letting him off the hook for internment, though.

right wing think tanks are making thinly veiled threats of political violence, the Supreme Court has neutralized the regulatory power of broad swaths of government, and the fate of the executive branch depends on whether the 81 year old atop it can learn to breakdance or something. Happy July 4th

Heads up: do not come to my page with ableist or ageist comments. Automatic block. (This isn’t necessarily an endorsement of Biden, just a recognition that we are crap at having these convos and the media is really failing)

I actually do not have a dog in this race, but I do think a lot of this "assassination" talk is weird misogynoir paternalism disguised as genuine concern.

the difference been pundits who have spent too much time huffing gasoline and journalists who are actually thinking through this with seriousness is whether they think having a contentious, brokered convention is less problematic than just going with biden's elected successor.
