The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

If we had both Houses of Congress we could do something about it. Congress can expand the court.

No one is coming to save us.
We need to build working-class power, we need to build a movement that can crush fascism, we need to organize like never before.
Because we don't have a democracy to save, but we do have one to build from the ground up.

Only 21 more days ‘til teacher back to school. I have taken time for relaxing while being “productive” (I.e., one day I potted some houseplants). I’ve also made lists of things to do and buy next year, like #library books mentioned on #kidlit posts.

Many ignorant comments begin with “we didn’t used to have…” But there are also useful comments, like “we didn’t used to have” things like environmental protections, or 40-hr work weeks, or kindergarten, or food safety standards. Things that improve health and well being.

I’m happy that my granddaughter’s bedtime routine includes a story after her bath. However last night she was not interested in me reading and just wanted to be rocked. Also my daughter and SIL checked the monitor to make sure I’d put her in her crib because they know I like to hold her.

Good for you! We always expect the worst. I had the opposite situation- went in for a test and wound up scheduled for open heart surgery! 6 months post-op I’m all fixed now.

Once upon a time we counted on the courts to protect rights. Our only hope is electing folks who will appoint judges who can adjudicate the balanced application of laws.

Living in “ground zero” for last night’s debate was a bit concerning. Lots of random street noise even with the street blocked off by cop cars. And, I cleaned up evidence of a potentially violent anti-Biden rally in the neighborhood park this morning.

It was a spectacle in many ways. Most active voters have already made their selection, and the undecideds… I can’t imagine being undecided. It was just performative.

I was thinking exactly that. They won’t accept that it’s a fictional movie and not a documentary. Please god let it not be based on a true story (since I watched the landing on a black and white TV at Girl Scout camp).

Mine got a lot of use during Covid, and even got photographed for an Atlanta “things to do” article! I put a lot of energy into stocking it.

My dad had dementia. Yes, there can be 90 minutes of lucidity at times. However, you can’t predict where and when it will happen. We already know which of the candidates takes drugs.

The same article reported that all states with draconian abortion bans showed an increase in infant mortality. In addition to their stated reasons, I suspect another reason is than many women in those states were afraid to seek prenatal or emergency care resulting in compromised premature births.

I did a lot of overthinking before I hung a pride flag this year. I’m a 60+yo cis woman with privilege and no Fs to give, so I can’t imagine how much courage it takes for the LGBTQ+ community to live out and proud. Y’all are strength & power.

That’s scary and confusing. Like, do you take the kids but ask lots of questions, or can you cancel? I picked up my kid from Christian camp (she was a GS camp veteran) and learned she’d been sick the entire time, and they’d run out of water and most food fairly early. We were furious.

My daughter had a childhood friend who died when they were 14. They often climbed a tree in the neighborhood park, so she got a tree tattoo with the GPS coordinates when she was old enough. I just noticed the city has recently cut down the tree.

Things I’ve learned watching reality TV: always have your fishing license with you. Google new online “friends.” Don’t accept rando DMs and friend requests. Don’t bring your “friend’s” suitcase on the plane to deliver to his “uncle” as a favor. You’re welcome.

Possibly, but I think it’s at least partly because school systems are notoriously bad at anticipating and planning for enrollment growth, and families go ballistic if redistricting is mentioned.
