That is an important distinction (not paying attention vs active corruption.) Will keep my eyes and my mind open for now — thank you for highlighting it.

This is really disappointing — my experience of Bonta has been that he's one of the better elected officials from the East Bay. Curious to see how the story develops. Sigh. This is why I support local journalism when I can.

Thanks, OPD. Seizing fireworks before the set off a conflagration in this heat wave is a job well done.

Thousands of people are being evacuated from an area of Oroville in NorCal because of the #ThompsonFire, and I just heard from an acquaintance who had to be evacuated who said that lots of people are going to be losing their homes. #CAfire #CAwx

Because SCOTUS does matter a ton to whatever substantive issues you care about—climate, economic justice, civil rights, abortion, LGBTQ+ issues, disability rights, you name it. So making court reform one of your priorities in choosing & influencing politicians isn’t deprioritizing other issues.

Step #1 in fixing it, you mean? I’d say making SCOTUS an issue that drives your political activity. Voting, campaign donations, activism, contacting your representatives—however you do politics, have the courts among your priorities. Everything else follows from that.

THE FOUNDERS: The only thing we agree on is that we fucking hate kings. Kings are the worst. Our primary goal for a new country is "no kings". ROBERTS: We must do exactly as the founders intended, which is to call our king "president".

Somewhere I saw a message that claimed that in every household of more than one, there is one dishwasher loader channelling an architect and another channelling a crazed raccoon. Matches my observations.

For Disability Pride Month, one thing I'd love abled bodied people to figure out is how to speak to someone with chronic health issues without implying that if they themselves had the disabled person's health conditions, they would end it all. I promise you life goes on- even with health issues.

Living under authoritarian regimes is both relatively boring and normal AND incredibly corrosive to the human soul. These things can absolutely co-exist. This is why everyone needs to resist authoritarians, even people who privately assume they’ll be just fine.

I refuse to just sit down and cry. It's time to support candidates who believe in democracy and in the idea that WeThePeople means ALL the people. It's time to put signs in the yard and a sticker on the car. It's time to affirm the principles for which past generations gave their lives.

The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.

Such lovely flowers! Did you know that it is called "Sweet William" in memory of William, Duke of Cumberland, who led the English against the Scots at Culloden Moor in 1746. Scots call the same flower "Stinkin' Billy."

Thanks so much. We tried to adopt a Maltese senior whose anxiety, expressed by barking, was unmanageable. He and my grandson were terrified of each other. Ginz has since found a happier home.

Kate Shaw’s good piece on Loper Bright highlights the cynicism of #SCOTUS repeatedly invoking democracy & “history and tradition” to build its own power.
The history of the Court (at least from the era most of the justices care about) is of a very weak judiciary. 🗃️
