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."

8/ At the time, and even since, I haven’t seen many older couples whose lives reflect that kind of connectionβ€”a valuation of, a love for, the whole person.

This anniversary, I’m deeply grateful that I have exactly that kind of relationship with my sweetie, Merna Eisenbraun.

7/ I don’t remember who they were, but that action had a large effect on me: I thought, β€œI hope to have a relationship such as that when I’m married and oldβ€”a relationship that retains significant affection and that continues to value touch."

6/ They were probably in their 60sβ€”quite old from the standpoint of someone who was maybe not yet 10 years old; they were walking one evening toward a lake and onto a small dock, holding hands.6

5/ Sometime in my early yearsβ€”and I think it was in the U.P. of Michigan, where we lived at the timeβ€”a missionary couple were visiting the small church that my father pastored.

4/ We’ve changed; we’ve grown. Sometimes, the growth has not been at the same speed, Merna growing faster than I was or vice versa. But we have grown, and for that I am very grateful.

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.

56 years ago today, Merna and I were married (passive voice).

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 Musk’s 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.

Supreme Court: The government can shoot or disappear people at will as an exercise of unitary executive power, but no, obviously, that wouldn’t include us, and frankly we’re kind of disappointed you asked.

He missed the deadline to submit a single form 10 years ago, amidst family grief when his wife suffered a stillbirth. He did nothing illegal. Paid his taxes, completed citizenship documentation. But once you activate a police state, they don't care about individual circumstances.

House Republicans smuggled thisπŸ‘‡attack 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 judgmentsβ€”including Boasberg's contempt orderβ€”effectively unenforceable.

Seems to me that if there’s a senile guy doing nothing in particular the usual way and a senile guy setting everything on fire, the fire guy is the one who should be the focus of media inquiry

Moments like these are instructive. They demonstrate exactly how dishonest, dishonorable, and irredeemable these people are.
