#SCOTUS not overturning Obergefell is a relief and a joy but then why were they so ready to overturn Roe? Marriage equality is protected under the Constitution but bodily autonomy isn't? Or misogyny is stronger than homophobia?

That NYC has a new mayor who is 34, a Democratic Socialist, a Muslim and of South Asian descent, makes me think maybe the America I came to 30 years ago is not completely lost.

One of the first things I read this morning was @mehdirhasan.bsky.social saying Dick Cheney should have died alone in a prison cell at The Hague. I like it when ppl are not afraid of saying things.

I was sleeping like a sleeping thing, when a giant paw forcefully hit me and I was greeted with this "Mommy I need you" face. So I got up a half hour before my alarm because I am not a monster and Mozart needed me. Still unclear for what, though. Still: antidote to the world.

We need to find a pressure point that will make him stop. I like the suggestion that somehow we need to go after his money.

Here’s what nobody’s talking about.
The government is shut down because they’re waiting for the Supreme Court to shut down the voter rights act.
There, I said it.

Hiya! I think I haven't been here in about six or seven weeks. Sorry. Mental health, physical health, political landscape, everything makes me want to hide. But maybe I should read what y'all say.

Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on.

Clock it.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
