Thereā€™s so much of this shit with people in Trumps orbit. Stephen Miller once ran in the middle of a girls track meet to go ā€œI am a man, I am better at sportsā€. No point to any of it except to be an awful human being.

There's a world on the other side of this with a huge, vibrant, unionized and high-paying industrial base remaking the physical world for the post-fossil fuel age. It's already starting and I think even Trump can't *fully* destroy it, but he can slow it down and make us lag wayyy behind.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

People really need to give up the idea that politicians have the power to 'sell' their actions to the public. Regardless of what he says, Biden's message will be filtered through the media and boiled down into horse-race headlines. It will be *very* obvious he's stepping aside after a bad debate.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of ā€œBiden Oldā€ and ā€œRich Dems Worriedā€ 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.

Iā€™m just relieved that at least someone is recognizing that he has a verbal disabilityā€”and I donā€™t even like him! I donā€™t get the failing at being president thoā€”heā€™s not running well early and everyoneā€™s rightly horrified about Gaza, but his administration is kicking assā€”he appointed great people.

I do hope that if other allegations come out, that they come from clearly unbiased sources & survivors donā€™t suffer. also, it is already hard enough to find work where youā€™re in someone elseā€™s home for several hours a day/night and both feel & be *safe*. this just makes that more difficult.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

The fact that only the president enjoys complete immunity, and that he also has the power of pardon is part of what is so terrifying about the ruling. It means that those beneath him are entirely at his good graces and arbitrary will. It's a power machine, not a check on his power.
