I talk a lot about aviation and law. Firm believer in democracy. Not ready to live in a kakistocracy. Southern California based. Too many dogs and a loving spouse.
Once again going to protect my peace. I was a rape victim at age 15. People have no idea what they are pushing into traumatized peoples' psyches. Going to strictly aviation now.

The Epstein files — by Heather Marsh

"This month, what I have mostly been hearing are demands for ‘the Epstein files’. For some, this is a very reasonable demand for a working justice system and a rare point that most people in the US can agree on." #opdeatheaters #3E #Epstein #Maxwell

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Yeah, there's just no way that Jeffrey Epstein was surviving all the way to trial in a BOP facility controlled by Donald Trump and William Barr.

Why are the Christofascists against Tylenol and ibuprofen?
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

The absence of leadership coming from the Federal Government of the United States at COP30 is jaw dropping.

In the U.S., the approach from subnational and local governments is where the action is in this space.

"A $400K house at 6% costs $863K on a 30-year mortgage. On Trump’s 50-year plan? $1.38M. That’s half a million more in interest. Trump supporters cheering for 50-year mortgages is like turkeys cheering for Thanksgiving."

Holy hell. I can breathe again.
This is great news. We dodged a bullet. But we must remain vigilant, given the movement to overturn marriage equality.

It’s why we amended marriage protections into the CA Constitution & why Dems passed a federal law requiring states to recognize other states’ LGBTQ marriages.

The fight continues.

Heritage is just cartoonishly evil. Just the worst scum on the face of the planet.
