We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Making a shiitake, Delicata squash, leek, and dandelion greens quiche. I still use the same basic recipe that I learned as a baker at UC Santa Cruz.

Otw to SF and just tried to order 16 Recchiuti Confections Konas to go with my Force Noir boxes, but alas, the shop doesn’t have enough. 😰 I keep hoping that they will offer a Kona box very soon. 🤞🏻 #chocolate (hint hint to @jackyrecchiuti.bsky.social )

I am impulsively bought these Pepperidge Farm Mint Milanos today. They were my college comfort cookies, and they were on sale. I was dismayed to discover that they have GMO corn, soy, and sugar now. 😰 #GMO

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...
Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to
"steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote:
The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated.
Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v.
Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.

RFK Jr. likes to wax nostalgic about how “healthy” America was in the 1960’s. He bases this on one datapoint, the prevalence of obesity. But let’s dip our toes into reality. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now
