A new Boom! Lawyered episode just dropped! This week, @hegemommy.bsky.social and @angryblacklady.blacksky.app discuss Mirabelli v. Bonta, the Supreme Court’s latest anti-trans ruling. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is what Trump meant by saying the war was "very complete, pretty much."
All that's left is the commitment of ground troops and the global repercussions, so probably just a day or two more, right?
You should listen if only to hear my super great Donald Trump impression.
Rumpled hotness strikes again!
In this episode of Boom! Lawyered, @angryblacklady.blacksky.app and @hegemommy.bsky.social go deep on Supreme Court drama—infighting among the justices, retirement rumors, and why it’s more than political theater when the president attacks the independence of the judiciary.
It's fun to spend the morning vibrating with anxiety because of *flails arms around* all of this
"They were not shy about their doomsday ambitions."
On the US government, from my book THEY KNEW:

Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing is tomorrow.
Means holds a number of extremely disturbing views, including that hormonal birth control is “disrespect for life”.
She isn’t a “fringe” or “alternative” healthcare provider. She is a person who blithely ignores scientific facts.
NEW: Three Minnesota faith groups/leaders — local ELCA and UCC bodies, and a Jesuit priest — are suing DHS over its refusal to grant them access to immigrant detainees at a federal building.
It's one of 2 related suits filed against the government in recent months. religionnews.com/2026/02/23/f...

My young adult children still get us up by 6 am on Xmas and I honestly love it.
Anyway I’m sure I’ll regret this later lol in the meantime… may you all find peace and community and shared resistance in the face of petty exercises of authoritarianism. That’s what’s holy about tonight.
This is the xmas miracle I’m talking about! ❤️
And I think it’s a Midwest sensibility. The humility of the liturgy hits different. We saw it in the resistance to and at Broadview. *THIS* is the Catholicism I have in my veins
I’ve been lost in American Catholicism for most my adult life despite being raised in the most radical of Dorothy Day centered American parishes. I don’t do cult of personality and also Leo is different
It’s Xmas Eve and yet I’m still gonna be a little spicy. The fact that the first American pope is from Chicago matters because unmooring power and perspective from the coasts especially east coast is an imperative for building something new and better
Thank you! No yogurt just whole milk
Thank you! I’m annoyed at the crack but hey we’re all a little weathered these days lol
Thanks!
Thank you!
No it’s from a Greek-adjacent cookbook I’ve had for years and never really broke out
I made a lemon olive oil cake for dessert this Xmas eve and she is *gorgeous*
It’s why Republicans are working double time to ensure there’s never another free and transparent election again
I’m laid up with the flu, but I had to peek my head out and say that this is *so* much worse than it seems.
And it’s already pretty fucking bad!

This sentiment/argument was then repeated in the SCOTUS decision upholding state level bans on gender affirming care for youth, citing the NYT as its citation.
This is what the week between Christmas and new years is FOR
We all take care of each other even as we’re all a fucking mess
We historically put The Godfather on Christmas Eve too
It’s at its core a movie about shit going sideways with family in a *season* and every Catholic can relate
