I can’t believe it’s already the
Poster for the 1981 film adaptation of the 1978 play "First Monday in October"—named for the first day of the US Supreme Court's fall term. This poster includes photos of the movie's stars, Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh, with a caricature of the Supreme Court justices and Clayburgh's character dangling from two ends of Lady Justice's scale. Tagline: "In the Supreme Court, there are only eight of them against all of her."

Citizens' Impeachment @citizensimpeachment.com · 01/10/2026
Not impeaching him, refusing to even discuss impeaching him, empowers and encourages more theft, more corruption, more murder, more war, and more illegal activity of every kind. Where are Thune and Schumer? Why the silence on this? They swore an oath.

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

"The US has grown used to the swift and dramatic erosion of women’s health and status that has followed Dobbs," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social, "to the horror stories and upward ticking body counts, grown into ease, and even a kind of compliant boredom, with women’s death and indignity."

With Data Center Don deciding to marry the GOP to AI by whatever name you call it, Democrats have the opportunity of the century. And they need to seize it by standing up for local communities, clean water, and stable power grids instead of letting corporate tech giants pillage the public good.

DOGE committed a lot of federal crimes and the only thing I have to say about this piece is: If Tyler Hassen was involved in any of the crimes (likely, given the scope of DOGE criminality), I hope he is prosecuted and goes to prison. The damage to science alone is devastating for our kids’ future.

This is all true of course. But (& I know you know this) the horror is precisely that whatever is/becomes personal for him can become a matter of national security, and indeed already has. He IS the President (also precisely what allows him to be used by others).

Given that we’re currently in a situation where any use of AI in published writing workflow risks severe reputational damage (inadvertent plagiarism is more or less baked in) this seems, uh, not well thought through.
