On a high horse
even a small man
sits grand as a bishop
his riding crop a crozier
in his fist, his squat bowler
stiff as a mitre at his brow.
See how the downtrodden
bow before “his grace.”
They make him feel so tall.

Political violence has no place in our country. Trump’s threats against Members of Congress are unacceptable & must stop. There needs to be a bipartisan rejection of this rhetoric that puts Americans at risk.

Absolutely worth a listen to this spot on response to Megyn Kelly
Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Kim Davis is back in the news. I hope it will be short-lived. I respect attorney Mary Bonauto and hope she is correct that gay marriage is a secure right in the US
And who is representing Kim Davis? No surprise (except it could have been Dershowitz, who is still sad about not getting his pierogi)

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.
It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Will medical practitioners help deliver Casey Mean’s baby? Or will she “trust her gut” and go it alone?
The hearing for Dr. Casey Means, President Trump's nominee for surgeon general, was postponed because she has gone into labor, a representative for the Senate health committee said. She was set to face questions Thursday from members of the committee.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

I’m also struck that Wyoming only has 5 full-time oncologists and immigration crackdowns by the current administration will result in fewer in the future. There are so many ways in which our healthcare is under unprecedented stress
I try to be empathetic and see other people’s biases and mistakes and compare them to my own. We’re all human.
But I find it really hard to understand taking Mel Gibson’s medical advice over my own oncologist.
