A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.
Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

But we got through the first four years and we'll just have to get through this, too.
Won't be fun. But we'll just have to do our best, and hope there's something positive waiting on the other side.

1/2 Pattern we're notably seeing w Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuck,etc:
People who must have been smart, or at least cunning, in their original biz naturally assume they are savants on everything. No idea that public policy is actually "complicated" and involves "details" and inconvenient "facts"
Thus...

Jimmy Carter had the most honorable and fundamentally decent post-presidency of anyone in American history, and it's not particularly close.

Good for Joe Biden.
Our ongoing use of the death penalty - America being one of the few developed countries in the world to still use it - remains a national travesty and a global embarrassment.
It’s cruel and unusual punishment, and it should have been abolished decades ago.

It’s cruel and unusual punishment, and it should have been abolished decades ago.
President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of nearly all prisoners on federal death row early on Monday, in a move that prevents President-elect Donald Trump—who has promised to resume carrying out capital punishment at the federal level—from allowing their executions to go forward.

The ERA is long overdue, and I dearly hope that Senator Gillibrand succeeds here.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is on a mission in President Biden’s final days in office. She wants to convince him that he can rescue his legacy by adding the Equal Rights Amendment, which would explicitly guarantee sex equality, to the Constitution as a way to protect abortion rights in post-Roe America.
Gillibrand Presses Biden to Amend the Constitution to Enshrine Sex Equality
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York is leading the charge for Democrats to persuade President Biden to adopt the Equal Rights Amendment, which would invite a Supreme Court battle.
