Self-deprecating handle (say it a few times fast). Pro-democracy. Focused on SCOTUS and the federal judiciary, but not exclusively so. Upside-down flag is a distress signal.

This is a central problem, not only for Democrats (and democrats) but also for democracy.

Snapshots of Censorship: Taking an Ethical Stand "My class was cancelled because it did not fit neatly into how the Board of Regents preferred classes to address (or skirt around) topics of gender and race."

"When academic freedom is attacked, when we are no longer allowed to speak about issues relating to race and gender in our classes, all of our students suffer, especially those from marginalized communities."

β€”but will wait to see it first. Which is, I suppose, a long-winded way of saying I lack faith! (lol)

Fair. I would be perhaps in the minority in Texas, but I've always been skeptical of those who wear their faith too openly. It may be genuine for some, but there are so many examples of those for whom it is a convenient ruse.

Two words: Shelby County

The Supreme Court case that killed Section 5 pre-clearance provisions that would have prevented this type of suppression (which was the exact reason for it in the first place).

Counterpoint: A moral vision doesn't require faith and many are able to express theirs without reference to it (just as many who claim faith have no discernible moral vision other than power).

Shockedβ€”shocked I tell youβ€”that in the Dem senate primary a white man beat a woman of color. Who among us could have guessed.

One of countless such examples that the media could be confronting Trump admin officials about every day.

β€”they are abrogating the Democratic process and interfering with the rights of the public to have fair representation.

Sanctions should begin with civil penalties, rising to criminal for repeat offenders.

I have argued before and continue to believe strongly that First Amendment protections should be lower in cases of intimidation against public officials.

In these cases, they are not only using terror to sway that officialβ€”

Our armed forces deserve better.

I mean, we all do, but this is a new low for a POTUS.

The Pentagon has ID four of the six killed this weekend (other two were "previously unaccounted for" with IDs expected later). They were all part of an Army Reserve sustainment unit deployed to Kuwait.

It's an extremely weird thing, the implications of which are not commented upon often enough, that three of the four men who have/will* rule the US in the 36 years between January 1993 and January 2029 were born within 66 days of each other.

*unless, etc.

NY courts should disregard and explain why.

Quite serious. Alito deserves to be embarrassed over this. A clear and concise explanation of why this ruling is legally wrong would be a blessing.

Something about shoes they love. One of ours frequently plops down in newly arranged and tidied shoe mat thereby un-tidying said mat. She'll lay there for hours.
