Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

@leahlitman.bsky.social said it best: “Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."

this is an important and excellent read - including the appropriate use of the mathematical term "eleventy-billion"
My LGBTQ friends knew I wasn't going to miss the most bigoted decision from this court. In case you missed it, Sam Alito's opinion in the "bigots are afriad of picture books" case is one of the most homophobic screeds ever from the SCOTUS.

Here's what's happening in counter-terrorism, if you're not someone who follows this kind of thing.
Basically, we were promised Jack Ryan, but he's been replaced with the cast of Reno 911, with no explanation. Everything is just as deadly, and you get fired if you ask about it.
Say thank you.

Dehumanization is the core conceit of apartheid. When you accept the premise that ANY difference can justify cruel disparities in treatment, then you open to door to subjectivity.
If we all agree it's OK sometimes, that leaves us to argue over the conditions under which apartheid is permitted.

If you're a Marine being mobilized to LA you've got options. Conscientious objector status is real. It’s in MCO 1306.16F. This is U.S. soil. You swore an oath, not blind obedience. Call GI Rights Hotline: 1-877-447-4487. They’ll walk you through it, no chain, no BS.
