Dad, grandfather, husband, wanderer, #photographer, retired scientist and teacher... fighting cynicism in a world that demands it. I spent my career comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable... I'm not done.

We should keep standard time 12 months of the year.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paineโ€™s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, โ€œin America the law is king,โ€ they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

HE IS PART OF THE CRIMINAL REGIME

Basically, Texas state government is corrupt, and Paxton is not the only one that's criminal in it

It Starts with the governor

They have passed laws that are crimes against all Texans.

They don't want healthcare for Texans.

They afraid of the Epstein Files why?

โ€œShame! Shame! Free the Squirrel! Free the Squirrelโ€

Back in the gang ridden streets of Portland, ICE just arrested a girl wearing a โ€œdangerousโ€ inflatable Squirrel without provocation.

Sheโ€™s fallen several times having been cuffed and pushed to walked faster than the suit will allow.

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.

Global warming often shows up as climate instability; the energy balance of the planet is changed, but will take a long time to re-equilibrate. We are in for some wild stuff... for many years.

This is stupendously short-sighted. Corrupt and stupid.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. Itโ€™s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Letโ€™s get a grip on whatโ€™s happening here.

Data reflects reality, and that can be inconvenient. If the facts do not conform with policy, they must be disposed of.

All it takes is one who does and you're wrong. (Logic is hard for some people.)

Opinion | Could the Third Time Be the Charm on Impeachment and Removal?

This collection of opinions by prominent legal scholars all support the obvious conclusion that #IQ47 has committed multiple impeachable acts since his second inauguration.

So the "judges" aren't judges in the usual sense, then?
