Welp, the "I caught covid at ALA" posts are rolling in. As well as at least NWL librarian who attended an award knowing she had covid.

They don’t have the capacity for follow ups or in-depth questions because they don’t do the work anymore. The Washington beat isn’t policy, it’s gossip. They’re not journalists; they’re courtiers.

gratitude to those who have pushed gross donations almost to $4,000 for this month! They need $10,000 and we're so much closer than a couple of days ago. Thank you so much and have a good night.

One striking detail in this story: The Pastor at Lake Church, where Mark Robinson gave this speech, told me he and Robinson expected these remarks to be "scrutinized." Then the Pastor defended them!
(also worth noting Christian Nationalist overtones in rest of speech cc @sarahposner.bsky.social)

new from me: John Roberts shot down Trump's absurd "double jeopardy" argument in his immunity case, finding it ridiculous to assume that an impeachment trial acquittal triggered criminal immunity. Because we can't have nice things, he then replaced it with an even more airtight protection for Trump

those arguing that taylor swift can't be a role model because she is an unmarried and childless woman at 34 are doing a great job of arguing that children need more women role models who are unmarried and childless at 34

Saul shares the different grape clusters in the vineyards of Bakersfield CA. These grapes will be fully ripened in the next couple of weeks, depending on the temps each day. The trick is to allow them to ripen w/o getting sun burned. Temps today are predicted at 110° #WeFeedYou

for context: this is one of the two conservative law school professors who championed the 14th amendment argument against Trump, giving it a real boost last summer. unsurprising that he's for the rest of the court's decisions but down on that one and the immunity case

I've written for years about the Christian right's calls for "spiritual warfare" against demonic enemies of Christian America. They used to claim their struggle is against "powers and principalities" not "flesh and blood," citing Ephesians 6:12. But it was still dangerous. Now we see how.

To help: It’s July 5, the day that many free Black Americans celebrated Independence Day before the Civil War because we’ve always told y’all about yourselves. So it’s a great time to remember why we shifted our patriotism and came to believe in the United States. www.patreon.com/posts/107469...

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.
"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

Obviously the problem isn't the scrutiny, that's a good thing. It's the total lack of proportion between the scrutiny over his debate performance and the (total lack) of scrutiny over the fact that Trump is setting himself up to be a dictator on day one and SCOTUS just handed him the keys to do it!

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.

the “some folks just need killing” thing out of north carolina reminds me of a third thing these annoying people are right about: as long as the republican bloodlust grows and their power is unbroken, every election probably will be the most important one of your life

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.
