This is so very bad. SCOTUS has become a shame & a shambles. Reading of the decisions they make these days is as unbelievable & heartbreaking as reading about terrible slavery-era SCOTUS decisions in history class was - I can only hope these also will eventually be reversed & remembered with shame.

This Saturday anyone going to protest watch out pro-Trump for infiltrators seeking to turn things violent...

Dear gods let's hope so...I hope the ghastly mess the US is currently devolving into can be repaired...

I found this quote in Indra's Net: Alchemy and Chaos Theory as Models for Transformation by Robin Robertson Ph.D., which I just acquired & has been an enjoyable read so far.

This t-shirt is such a mood...
But I'd prefer it in bumper sticker format, I think.

This is crazy, this is un-American and anti-freedom! Our rights to self-determination & the pursuit of happiness surely include American citizens getting to have any damn haircut we want. F*** fascists, this government overreach has to stop.

Reading through the chronology of his life at the end of this edition; am delighted that he attended & spoke at the first Women's Rights Convention in July of 1848, which began a long association with the women's rights movement...
Very inspiring book!
I'm so eager to read the rest of his oeuvre!

Really enjoying this book; I highly recommend it. A wonderfully inspiring read, with much to offer for our present time, where the past century of civil rights progress appears to be under threat.

These actions are simultaneously ridiculous and disgusting...

Finally some good news... Hopefully more states pushback against this executive overreach.

Saw this quoted on Substack; not sure if that's where it came from originally. She makes a very cogent point, that needs to keep being reiterated until enough people get it:

I'm going to post this regularly, to keep it top-of-mind...

New book just arrived!
MLK jr. is part of my reading plan for these dangerous times - where it seems we're going to have to do all the various civil rights struggles of the last century or so all over AGAIN.
