In law school (when dinosaurs roamed the earth), I was a Republican who fell in love with the US Constitution. Even though I'm no longer conservative, it gives me hope that there are still some Republicans who value the Constitution as much as I always have. youtu.be/xSOXYkgL2QU

When current US politics threaten to make me despondent, I try to find small pleasures for a boost of serotonin. Today, I went outside and discovered that even though I haven't started tending my garden for the season yet, nature has provided anyway.

My parents were teenagers in the Netherlands when it was occupied by the Nazis. After marrying, they immigrated to the USA and eventually became politically conservative. But I still believe deep in my heart that they would see right through the fascist regime currently masquerading as Republicans.

Just going to leave this right here. I know it won't change any MAGA minds, but it still feels relevant somehow.

Anybody who doesn't defend the existence of the United States Constitution was never truly proud to be an American. The Constitution IS the United States of America.

Further to my previous post about Chris Kluwe, I wish to note that he rightly declined to speak with the New York Times, unless it was with columnist @jamellebouie.net, due to their complicity in MAGA's rise to power.

Cue the MAGA peanut gallery screaming the predictable BS of how he's just a washed up nobody of an athlete who was never any good to begin with (despite his multiple team records with the Vikings alone). But @chriswarcraft.bsky.social has a conscience and integrity. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

No professionalism, no decorum, no dignity. The current administration is a joke, and they're proud of it. (Not linking to the actual tweet, because I don't want to drive more traffic).

If our country as we know it doesn't die first, then US historians and citizens will someday look back on this as one of the most embarrassing times in our history.
