Roe v Wade was overturned because abortion rights weren’t “deeply rooted in our history”. Alito used that phrase 12 times in the ruling.

But the 250-year-old Post Office is about to be cut. Maybe it’s not about deep roots or about history. Maybe it’s about control.

I’m so glad the same people who told me “Congress does absolutely nothing for us”, also told me not to worry about the Department of Education closing because “no one ever does anything they promise”, but also if Trump tries to abolish it that “Congress will stop him because they work for us!”

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I stopped cold in my tracks when I read this.

Since I’m not watching the Inauguration today, I opted to publish a blog post at about the time the new president was sworn in. I hope to turn today’s grief into solid action tomorrow. Please read and share, join me in staying resilient.

Anger Management at the Ballot Box

The reality is that Salesmanship is the differentiation between the two parties.

The Dems couldn't sell dollar bills for 50c

Trump has found his audience and can sell them dollar bills for $5

When everything is a story the algorithm flashes at you as you scroll, you better be selling fast
It is truly about who tells a better story — or really a story people want to hear and makes them see what they believe rather than believe what they see.
More jobs have been created under Biden than during the full terms of Trump, Obama, or Bush 43. @danprimack.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...

'I Don't Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People'

"I can’t debate someone into caring about what happens to their fellow human beings. The fact that such detached cruelty is so normalized in a certain party’s political discourse is at once infuriating and terrifying."
I Don't Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People
Our disagreement is not merely political, but a fundamental divide on what it means to live in a society.

Mark my words: the way Trump and the GOP House and Senate will eliminate Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid without losing their voters is to say “We’re sending it back to the states.” The states will kill it for them.
