Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Courts usually stay an action where irreparable harm can be done while the case is pending. Not this SCOTUS. They have allowed DJT to keep sending immigrants to third countries, some with horrible human rights histories, while deciding if it's legal. On the shadow docket. Destroying people's lives. 010

Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Rep. John Dingell Sr. introduced a comprehensive health care bill in every Congress to which he was elected from 1932 until 1955 when his son (Jr.) took up the burden. Every Congress. HR 6. Now his wife, Debbie Dingel carries on the tradition. 030
Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Also there is very little the House can do about inflation.wo a clear majority in the Senate. People don't understand. Inflation coming down doesn't mean lower prices, just the rate of increase slowing. Gas and diesel lowering would mean stopping the war and tariffs and getting a deal with Iran. 000
Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Another explanation is that the GOP hasn't believed in the Constitution and democracy for a long time--that they have just been mouthing platitudes about freedom and rule of law while waiting for their dictator to come along. 021

Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Cornell does not have the right to dismiss felonies. Rape is a crime in NYC (and everywhere else.) NYPD should arrest the perpertrator(s), indict them and bring them to trial. Nothing Cornell decides about this should have any effect on the enforcement of the law. 242

Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I was at that rally. It was the 1st campus event for Dicky after Kent State. It was a Billy Graham Crusade. When the hundred of so of us who were protesting saw that every GOP candidate for office in TN was on the stage we decided that it wasn't a religious and got vocal. 120

Leon Lowery @alviel.bsky.social · 26/09/2026By "biblical voice" she means voice of condemnation. There is much to lament about modern culture, but I'll guarantee she is not going to talk about those things, just the culture wars that they thrive on. Think about the log that is in your eye before you condemn the atom that is in another's. 000
