1. It was not an accident.

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Well this is ought to but won't wake people up.

Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision is deeply disappointing and harmful to transgender individuals.

In Washington, we stand up for and support transgender people, including transgender youth. That won’t change as long as I am governor.

The government's arguments are not persuasive, and it is not an especially close question on this record. The government's unrelenting reliance on deference to military judgment is unjustified in the absence of any evidence supporting "the military's" new judgment reflected in the Military Ban—in its equally considered and unquestionable judgment, that very same military had only the week before permitted active-duty plaintiffs (and some thousands of others) to serve openly. Any evidence that such service over the past four years harmed any of the military's inarguably critical aims would be front and center. But there is none.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
