If you don’t hate where we are for EVERYONE, you don’t disagree with what’s happening. You just want to change the targets.

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity. The only alternative denies an opportunity to celebrate the joy of human flourishing and is ultimately unspeakably cruel

the weird two-year stretch in which i was older than every nfl quarterback is finally over. hopefully that will never happen again
The Colts will start QB Philip Rivers on Sunday against the Seahawks, sources tell The Insiders.
Age 44, out of retirement, after a full week of practice, Rivers is a go.

I look at what this criminal griftocracy has done to basically *all* of America’s long-time allies and friendships, it really is a goddamned sad nightmare. And Trump’s replacing these relationships forged through decades of diplomacy with the worst thugs and despots from around the world.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Tell them they got what they voted for.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people and two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid. Trump's advisers in the White House are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.

So when people say things like “well none of them took legal action,” yeah, no shit. What legal action was actually available to them under the circumstances?

Justice Jackson taking on Gorsuch's "pure textualism" and arguing for a more holistic reading of Congress' handiwork—worth reading in full. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![The majority’s contention that I reject “ ‘pure textualism’ [a]s insufficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek,” ante, at 10, stems from an
unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative
task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And,
indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is
imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia
of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A methodology that includes consideration of Congress’s aims does exactly that—
and no more. By contrast, pure textualism’s refusal to try to understand
the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to
achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing
judicial policy preferences. By “finding” answers in ambiguous text, and
not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources
of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own preferences as “textual” inevitabilities. So, really, far from being “insufficiently pliable,” I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable—that’s
its primary problem—and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexible enough to secure the majority’s desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreih3qdtlloz3yhggypbtwiveqdgzzfgapsnetvq7qsni7wfmyuovoi@jpeg)

General Shawn Harris is a great friend and a true patriot. He just got up and running on Bluesky. Help him from the ground up. Every single voter he brings out in his campaign is going to be a critical vote for Jon Ossoff as well. Let’s compete in every corner of this country.
I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, retired General and farmer. I have announced my candidacy to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and I know we will together. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together. Share and join me in this fight:
