A circle with five arms of varying skin tones clasped in the shape of a pentagon. Multivolored sketches of different outdoors ones at different times of day are inside the pentagon and in surrounding negative space. Words in white on brown background state "we want a world not divided by skin, language, pain, or fear -- but united in love, truth, and humanity"

Laura Loomer and respect for lives
Two opposing views both by Laura Loomer. FirstLaura Loomer @LauraLoomer Alligator lives matter. Subscribe The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now. 4:41 PM Jun 30, 2025 1.3M Views Second: Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer Just saw a close up video of @charliekirk11 getting shot. It doesn't look good. Two direct shots to his jugular. Praying for a miracle for Charlie Kirk, who has a wife and 2 small children, including a baby. The Democrats cannot keep getting away with declaring open season on conservatives. I cannot believe this is happening.

This is Covid-19 vax pricing updated 8/01/2025. I am assuming this is last year's vax as the contract ending date is 9/30/25. Note the markup between CDC price of $78.28 and market price of $ 141.80. Markup of 80%. This is a lot to pay OOP for many people.

And Tango Makes Three - such a sweet picture book. I have read it to all my grandlittles. To have a problem with this book is to have irrational phobias for which one needs therapy.
Book cover of two adult penguins and a baby penguin. Title: And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, with illustrations by Henry Cole.

Justice Jackson also added a separate dissent
No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from lawabiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship. The majority holds that, absent cumbersome class-action litigation, courts cannot completely enjoin even such plainly unlawful policies unless doing so is necessary to afford the formal parties complete relief. That holding renders constitutional guarantees meaningful in name only for any individuals who are not parties to a lawsuit. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent.
