The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.”

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military
If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Ashli Babbitt Already Got What She Deserved
She doesn't deserve full military honors.

Like every turning point in the ongoing Trump humiliation of GOP leaders, no Republican has stood to defend American dignity and Decency.

In embracing a war criminal and a child sex-trafficker, the Republican Party has lost its soul.

I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history"
It is propaganda, pure and simple.

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying."
It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.
She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

52 years ago today, Stevie Wonder released Innervisions—a soul-funk masterpiece packed with genius, groove, and grit. From “Higher Ground” to “Living for the City,” it still hits like prophecy set to a clavinet.

MAGA went from wanting the death penalty for child rapists to being apologists for sending them to do their time in a minimum security club fed.
All for their hero. Maxwell can hurt Trump, so she gets what she wants. And none of them will say a word about it.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors.
Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher.
