The Overton Window has turned me into a flaming liberal. Attorney, law professor, LGBTQ+ supporter, and velomobile rider. No DMs and no porn please.

Today's Jeopardy question: Because Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, estimated at more than five times that of the United States. Today's Jeopardy answer: Why are we starting a war with Venezuela, starting with blowing up boats, followed by a huge naval and Marine build-up?

I'm starting to think we should elect people based on their internet history. Here's a hint - the more anti-X they are, the more their porn viewing is of X. If X is LQBTQ+, the internet history is chock-full of gay porn. And if it's child porn, well, let's not even talk about it.

He likes big big things, because they make him clap and laugh, from fire trucks to arches. Look through the labels to the man, and it's clear who he is. A simple arrogant man who was never told "no" as a child. And we elected him President. Shame on us.

He has obvious thoughts that don't consider nuance. He has simplistic solutions that don't address the depth of problems. He announces by fiat because nobody ever said "no," instead of listening, learning, and creating agreement.

If you think of Trump, not as President, not as reality TV star, not real estate magnate, but as the person he is, a person with an IQ in the low 80s who was born to unimaginable wealth and never told he was wrong, everything he does or says falls into place.

For those who understand the rule of law, this should terrify you: The United States Supreme Court is about to decide that a statute is constitutional until, in the majority's personal opinions, it has outlived its usefulness - then it's unconstitutional.

I am coming to the most fatalistic, depressing, & inescapable conclusion of my political life. A majority of Americans truly believe the US should be white, Christian, & of Western European descent, & everybody else is just a guest, tolerated only with good behavior (behavior acceptable to them).

Let's stop pretending that putting an army of poorly trained vigilantes on the street, in masks, with a command to arrest brown people is even the slightest bit legal. Arrest them all. If you agree, feel free to share.

Strip search them and do a body cavity search. And of course, take booking photos of every single one of them and publish them immediately. Let them spend the night in jail, and then try to prove to the judge that the person they grabbed was committing a crime.

Remember, being a law enforcement officer is an affirmative defense to the crime, not a presumption of innocence, meaning they have the duty to prove it. If they are grabbing people while wearing face masks and nothing but a "POLICE" patch, nothing to prove identity or department, arrest them.

Assign a police officer to follow every single ICE agent and ticket them or arrest them for the slightest transgression, from speeding to turning without a signal to traveling in vehicles with mis-assigned license plates, to assault, battery, deprivation of civil rights, and even to kidnapping.

But the monied Republicans, the people whose wealth funded the Trump schemes and lined the Trump pockets, were looking to Ivanka’s children to carry on the name. And that is how the war began.

but more importantly, loyal only to the Trumps. At the end of her second term it was expected by many that Barron, Trump‘s youngest and the daughter of his third wife, Melania, would be next in line. He was the favorite of the MAGA foot soldiers - white, rural, uneducated, and perpetually angry.

Let's talk about kids, kids in middle school and high school, when many trans kids are starting to figure themselves out. What is the goal of secondary school sports? Is it to get a scholarship (isn't there a better way to educate our future than asking them to perform in modern gladiator games?)?
