I'm a brain doc (Consultation-Liaison psych). For *years* Trump's shown uninterrupted, increasingly severe cognitive symptoms: he's incapable of linear thought at baseline. Whatever disrupted Biden's linear thought in the debate is at worst intermittent. Bonus: he's not an overt fascist.

Happy Disability Pride Month! According to the CDC, up to 1 in 4 people in the US have some kind of disability. We honor disability justice champions who won significant progress over many decades, as we continue the fight for better policies to create a more livable, accessible future for all.

My dad is 75 and has trouble finding words at times because of a silent stroke. But he's super smart & informed, and this issue doesn't reflect his decision-making capacity. Difficulty getting the right words out (if that's Biden's issue) is not the same as decreased executive functioning.

Right on. Also, find the networks and groups that exist in your community. Help strengthen them and then fill in the gaps.

What I've done so far to deal with this day: - Gardened - Had some chocolate with salted caramel - Looked at period cottages on rugged coasts for peak daydreaming - Opened a bottle of cava - Signed up to send postcards to swing states - Hugged my kid until she got annoyed

Well, gardening. But for a quick break at my computer I look up period homes for sale in England and France, like stone cottages in medieval villages, Elizabethan half-timbered lodges, and thatched roofs in the countryside. Then I can breathe.

Politicians treat the Supreme Court the way they treat cops which is to say that they fund them, seem afraid of them, demand no accountability and allow them to act with complete impunity. Instead of disempowering them, it's some commissions, reports and shrugs.

"I am injured because someone else might do something that doesn't affect me but I won't like it" is the type of thing they don't even bother to teach in law school because such a person obviously doesn't have standing, but this is now routinely accepted for GOP causes, like banning mifepristone.

anyhow, not to be a party pooper, jokes are fine, I just want to say that the joy or sense of justice you might feel may not be anti-abolitionist. it may be the opposite: longing for an abolitionist world in which people like trump aren't empowered by institutions to harm with impunity. that's all.
