Friendly amendment. Everyone should know who Pauli Murray was. A life truly well lived. And one that shaped our world.
Today is Pauli Murray's 115th birthday. If you're a law student (or just a curious person) and don't know who they are, look them up! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_M...

Got a couple dozen crows flying in front of a rainbow, best one was when it was faint, so really had to edit. Not sure if I missed the mark.

The "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd has the biggest feelings when confronted with facts.
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

New Cognitive Behavioral Therapy just dropped.
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."

Ask Sixers fans how "Trust The Process" plays out.
Q: Will the White House commit to releasing all of the donors and how much they're spending on the White House ballroom and how much of his own money the president is putting on the line?
LEAVITT: We have released the full list of donors so far. Trust the process

"We should oppose this like we did the Civil Rights Movement" is really something
Markwayne Mullin: "This makes the point why President Trump needs to deploy these National Guard members. There is a federal role. We have seen this in the Civil Rights Movement all the way with JFK, LBJ, we've seen it in history before where National Guard has been used to protect federal agents."

This is truly bonkers stuff.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Oh what's up? Just some simple heresy.
Sen. Daines: "I'm reminded, those words of 'blessed are the peacemakers,' those are the words spoken by Christ in northern Israel over 2,000 years ago. And President Trump has blessed the world with his peacemaking ability."

"I like how Hedges tell it like is." ~ Propagandhi
Journalist Chris Hedges says President Trump’s use of the shocking assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk to attack civil society is the latest iteration of a broader crackdown on free speech.

it’s fascinating. majorities of americans oppose the military occupation of cities. a substantial number of those are fucking furious about it, but rather than lean into this anger and attack trump’s perception of strength, these “strategists” want democrats to avoid the confrontation entirely.
There it is folks. The brilliant Dem strategy, according to the genius pundits with the ear of Dem leadership, is to let Trump keep doing everything he's doing but only if we can also help Republicans avoid paying a political price for hurting people long enough to hold the House and Senate in 2026

For years, conservatives have warned that if you vote for the most boring Democrat you've ever heard of you'll be prevented from practicing Christianity in public. Under Trump, Catholics are being given permission to skip Mass, where you eat Christ, due to fear of being kidnapped by the government.
NEW: Bishop Rojas of San Bernardino has dispensed his Diocese from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass due to ongoing ICE raids.

Rep. Steve Scalise says of proposed Medicaid cuts: "35-year-olds sitting at home playing video games, they're gonna now have to go get a job."
"And by the way, that's a good thing for them — their mom doesn't want them sitting in the basement playing video games anyway."
