The Lawless Man of January 6, 2021 claims new power for himself by attacking the most vulnerable people in the city where our government resides.
It's an Abomination.
An abomination we must resist in every way that we can. It's wickedness, plain and simple.

Florida's literary inquisition
In a chilling meeting of the Florida State Board of Education last week, a school district superintendent was publicly browbeaten and repeatedly threatened with criminal prosecution.
1. In an extraordinary public flogging, the Florida State Board of Education repeatedly threatened a school superintendent with criminal prosecution unless he removed a Judy Blume book from all library shelves.
One member called the district librarians "child abusers."

2/ 56 years ago, Merna and I chose to marry (active voice) each other, committing to spend, so far as we could tell, the remainder of our lives together. Of course, we could not know then just what that would mean; no one can, because no one can see the future.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Muskβs foray into politics accomplished.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

SEC. 70302. RESTRICTION ON ENFORCEMENT.
20 No court of the United States may enforce a con21 tempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or
22 temporary restraining order if no security was given when
23 the injunction or order was issued pursuant to Federal
24 Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), whether issued prior to, on,
25 or subsequent to the date of enactment of this section.
House Republicans smuggled thisπattack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgmentsβincluding Boasberg's contempt orderβeffectively unenforceable.
