My annual day after post:

If someone you supported LOST yesterday, sometime in the next few days, write them a note.
Thank them for running.
Tell them why you supported them.
Thank them again for running.

We don't have democracy if people don't run.
Thank them.

Happy first day of school, Boston!

And a happy new school opening day to The Sarah Roberts.

Sarah and her father Benjamin filed the first school desegregation suit in US history in 1849.

She was represented by Robert Morris, the first Black attorney in MA, and future US Senator Charles Sumner.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

As a result, with today’s decision, the Supreme Court has removed one of the only practical ways to stop a state from punishing doctors it doesn’t like by kicking them out of the Medicaid program.

Read @msjpauly.bsky.social's look at the 6-3 ruling.
The Supreme Court just made it easier for states to defund Planned Parenthood
