Old(ish) white dude using my institutional privilege to advocate for others and speak data/facts to power. Much like truth, I have a liberal bias although will follow the facts/data where they lead. Looking for “good trouble”

We are becoming more like our ally Russia every day under the Trump Regime. Vote his Republican enablers and supporters out of office next month. Our Republic is being shredded and our credibility all over the world is completely gone.

Trump is loathsome and MAGA is a cult of the ignorant. And the press constantly sane-washes the sounds coming from his mouth-hole. However, saying he was “inviting Iran to nuke LA” just so you can be incensed is silly. He didn’t say that and we have years of actual fuckery to be incensed about.

I think we can all safely go back to not giving one dry fuck what Thom Tillis says about anything (or anything that comes up in a Ross Douthat interview for that matter).

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.
