Well, now it becomes a lot bigger stakes because the precedent is that any powerful politician can go crying to their local prosecutor saying they were “abused” and the statute also applies to social media posts!

since y'all won't read: 1. the jury found him guilty, and the judge just hit him with court costs and a $200 fine because I know he has to think this is a crap case, too 2. where's that gofundme so I can chip in for the fines 3. Jerry Cirino is a fucking loser, and will die a fucking loser

DJ was found guilty and ordered to pay court costs and a $200 fine, via Morgan Trau on X. x.com/MorganTrau/s... The no-contact order Jerry wanted was denied. Still think this is a much worse look for Jerry than it is for DJ. MUCH worse. What a bonehead.

The news media are way too accepting of racism in our politics. They should be peppering the Republicans' Senate candidates in TX, OH, MI, IA and ME with questions about why they welcome campaign help from white supremacist Elon Musk.

I tend to get respiratory infections ~every 6-9 months. This morning was dose #5 of augmentin, and I still sound like Captain Janeway, so this round is probably going to take a while 🙄 Good thing I have a job interview coming up. Maybe I should show up in a VOY command uniform to seal the deal. 🤦‍♀️

This is why the protection of an impartial civil service is so vitally important. They are very much the machinery of how the government carries out its will. Elections swap out the brain but the federal workforce is the body.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.
