Justice Alito says there was no discussion of Trump's pending case when the two spoke
The call took place a day before Trump asked the Supreme Court to halt his sentencing, though Samuel Alito said they did not discuss the emergency application.

At an event the other day, I listened to people talking & I realized I was categorizing them as TFG & nonTFG voters. It happened without thinking & it wasn’t out of judgement. One group is an existential threat to my safety. The other is not. It was an act of self preservation. This is where we are.

When you’re a Trekkie and your brilliant friend who is the op and also a Trekkie and this happens. Did I mention that we love Star Trek with arguably a degree of cultish devotion?🤩 Also, it’s just a perfectly amazing post.
WAIT WHAT. I just saw this @georgetakei.bsky.social!! Thank you, & you are of course correct.
Kavanaugh should never have been confirmed either.

And this is the actual problem with demanding people pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Some people can’t even afford the boots.

This is the exact problem with the 24hr news cycle. Rather than allow space for critical thinking, immediate emotional reaction is the order of the day. The fact that @mollyjongfast.bsky.social wanted a moment to offer a considered response should not be a news moment in and of itself.
I want to write about something very stupid that happened to me yesterday. I don’t want to do it in a self-serving way but I do think it illustrates a good point. As the pardon news broke I was asked a question about it and I didn’t have a clear answer so I just said I had to think about it.

Crockett: For anyone who wants to clutch their pearls because he was going to pardon his son, I would say take a look in the mirror because we also know that when it comes to this cabinet, this cabinet has more people accused of sexual assault than any incoming cabinet

Serious question. Why did cloaks go out of style.
1. They are warm
2. You can easily reach your stuff
3. Dramatic twirl / entry and exit
We can fix this.

I find myself cocooning a lot these days. Not out of sadness. Out of necessity. My mind and spirit are preparing for the coming fight. Take time to care for yourself. We need everyone in this for the marathon ahead.

Let’s call this what it is: a clear attempt to promote a cisgender straight white Christian nationalist agenda in higher education.
"The 432 courses that were removed from General Education range from Theories of African American Studies, Critics of Religion and American Multi-Ethnic Literature to Feminism and Globalization, the Evolution of Human Sexuality and LGBTQ History."

Two weeks after the election, a gathering in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, commemorated Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 address. The Lincoln scholar who recited the 16th president's words said the speech felt “not like a relic from the past, but a prayer for the future.”

While not surprising- it is important to remember this is a tool of dictatorship. Keep the underlings squabbling and trying to outdo each other to curry favor. Incompetence can still be deadly incompetence.

I live in San Antonio. After the election my husband and I started making plans to leave. We worry about our safety and the real fear our marriage will be stripped away. Lots of people in my life said “you’re overreacting” or that “won’t happen.” The erosion of civil liberties has already started.

Leak the report. Pass it on
A Democrat should leak the Gaetz report. Trump and MAGA invited a violent insurrection against our election and refer to the traitors as freedom fighters and political prisoners.
This is nothing. Leak the report. Americans deserve to see it.
