I strongly urge the vote-by-mail states to make it clear to both the administration and the Supreme Court that we will not comply. It's time to confront our constitutional crisis head on.

Are you having fanatical thoughts about other people's crotches?
Has hating a minority group become your entire personality?
Do you obsess over other people's toilet use?
If so, you could be a danger to others - it's time to seek help.

I wince at civic pride over imported sports ball. I wince because we should be focused on pride that leads to equity, not just proud that we can slap on makeup and a new outfit and shake it for the tourists.

Joshua Beckman made me think of handlebars this morning.
[Poem/
EARLY 1984
By Joshua Beckman, from A Guide for Making Fragments from Diaries, which was published in April by Wave Books.
Dad got a new sled for me and Randi. It's great.
My Aunt Arlene came, and she got me an art set. I like it a lot.
Sean came over and we played Monopoly. He won.
We had Chinese food. I had a great time.
I got my new handlebars. I like them a lot.
Today I went to the YMCA. Jeff and Colin came too. It was fun.
We went to my Grandpa and Grandma's house. It is in Florida.
We went to Clearwater beach. The water was cold.
I got to play Trivial Pursuit with my family. We had teams. My team won.
I went bike riding and saw an alligator.
We came home from Florida.
Today I was drawing and I had a lot of fun.
I rode my bike all day long. It was a lot of fun.
I saw my Aunt Libby and we had a picnic.
I went to art and I had a lot of fun.
I went to Hebrew School.
I hurt my ankle.
I met kids near my street. We rode bikes all day.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.
"Justice Dept. Is Said to Open Criminal Inquiry of E. Jean Carroll Over Trump Lawsuits
The investigation is said to center on whether Ms. Carroll committed perjury in civil lawsuits against Donald J. Trump, whom she accused of sexual assault."

Trump: "We have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times." But I guess that's not enough because he wants $7 billion MORE for nuclear weapons. Because that's what families are begging for: Less affordable housing, so Trump can blow up the world 151 times.
