I'm loving living in the Smokies.
Hobbies: reading, embroidery, walks in the mountains . . . currently mastering dyes.
Do least harm. Do most good.
Justice over dogma. Progress over purity. Truth over myth.

New @theintercept.com: I wrote about the oral argument in Hamm v. Smith, digging a bit deeper to trace how the case ended up at SCOTUS. It's another example of far-right conservatives leaning on the court to burn down its case law to advance their agenda (more executions, less 8th amendment).
Alabama Begs Supreme Court to Make It Easier to Execute People With Intellectual Disabilities
The bizarre oral argument in Hamm v. Smith shows how decades of case law rooted in science is now under siege at the Supreme Court.

At thelivingsouth.com, I wrote about President Trump replacing the special "no-fee" day at the National Park Service with, among other things, a special day scheduled for his own birthday.

It's interesting that she tried to walk back her quote about Elon Musk's drug use, but the reporter had a recording of her remarks in which she said what was reported.

This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough.
This is deeply sick conduct.

Pollster: Trump's net approval rating among voters under the age of 30 is going into a deep, dark black hole. Look at that, -46. That is a shift on the net approval of 56 points in the wrong direction since February. We almost never see drops this big, this quickly.

A Capitol rioter yelled the name "John Richter" on the floor of the Senate. Months later, the FBI showed up at the wrong John Richter's house.

I might hold off on assuming the FBI really HAS solved the pipe bomber.
THey've upped rewards and suggest an open source reviewer was involved.
