Phew 😮‍💨. Supreme Court denies Trump’s mail in voting scheme (at least for this election). You can all guess which two dissented.

Donald Trump today: ““September 11 reminded us of the terrible power of hate,” … And Mr. Trump, you and your cult remind us of that terrible fact every damned day.

Give me a moment to get off the floor … Justice Kavanaugh just ruled, for the second time in a week, that the GOP can’t use its gerrymandered map in Missouri!!!

Nightmare: 11/8/26: “Today the final race was called, and the Democrats have done the unthinkable, they have flipped the Senate by winning a 51-49 majority.” 12/11/26: “John Fetterman declares he is switching parties, creating a 50-50 tie in the Senate. VP Vance’s vote will maintain GOP control.”

At the Department of Homeland Security, created after 9-11 to protect the nation from existential threat, multiple hundreds of agents have been pulled by the Regime from investigating such serious crimes as human trafficking and terrorism … to look for non-existent non-citizen voters …

And so there we have it, Roberts and the other conservatives in league with Thomas and Alito, allowing Trump to continue planning his MAGA-approved “Citizens Roll” so that only Nazi ‘Muricans can vote. May not get into place by November, but it now looks certain to be the law long before 2028

77 million ‘Muricans supported Trump b/c he hates for them. He makes their bigotry fashionable. He makes their failed lives seem successful by the denigration of others. Whether he cares about them doesn’t matter. They’ve always known what he is. And they accept it, b/c he makes them feel “worthy”

Three-year high inflation rate, 3.8% … and that’s the number being fed to us by the Regime. Imagine what the real rate is!

NYT lead: “After a meeting in Islamabad that lasted 21 hours, Vice President JD Vance said the Iranian delegation had not accepted American terms for ending the war.” … just look at the arrogance: no deal because Iran “had not accepted AMERICAN terms for ending the war.” That’s not a negotiation.

Hope my friends on BlueSky will indulge me once every couple of years with a post about my latest book. Return to Dixie is an alternative history novel evoking parallels to our fraught present time, written to explore both bigotry’s tragedy, and the power of love. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

While leaving a copy of my current work on my Orlando hotel’s bookshelf, I found a copy of @tcboyle.com No Way Home, a novel I didn’t no existed. More than an even trade, I’d say!

When? When does the “soft” Trump voter who overlooked his disgusting essence express regret and abandon him? When does the non-voter decide that apathy is no longer an option? When does America reach a breaking point? How much longer must the list of atrocity and humiliation grow …

Serious question from a very dejected and confused citizen. If 77 million voted for our current tragedy, and 90 million couldn’t be bothered to vote at all (only 70 million voting for normalcy, or decency, or sanity), is “America” worth saving?

NBC headline: “Fed's Fight with DOJ Could Hurt Prospects for More Interest Rate Cuts” … Seriously? “Fed’s” fight, like Jerome Powell instigated this mess?

Elections haven't always been fair in America. We've suffered Poll taxes, writing tests, intimidation, misinformation and straight up cheating in multiple elections over the life of our country. And progress still came. Don't let them con you into thinking they're inevitable. They aren't.

Supreme Court, Inc., votes 6-3 (of course) to allow Texas to use new gerrymandered maps that disenfranchise millions of Democrats and (especially) people of color. Now just watch as they strike down the voter-approved maps in California!!!

Much sadness at the deteriorating state of this nation … but, much also for which to be thankful. I include on that latter list the millions of fellow BlueSky travelers who refuse to be silent, to give in, or to give up. ❤️ 🇺🇸

Perhaps I am just a tragic pessimist, but and I the only one who expects the Dems to cave, re-open government, and extract nothing in return (no ACA subsidy extension), simply because we can’t bear to see folks suffer? (Major GOP/MAGA advantage - they enjoy others’ suffering)

In a speech today, Justice Alito actually said, with a straight face, “I am not suggesting that the decision (Obergefell) … should be overruled” when asked about Kim Davis’s pending appeal to SCOTUS (the clerk who defied the law & refused to issue licenses). There is ZERO doubt how Alito will vote.

The “guns don’t kill people” guns seem to be killing a lot of people: “CNN - The shooting in a small, idyllic waterfront community adds to the growing list of bars, restaurants, shopping centers, schools experiencing gun violence … 320 mass shootings in US so far this year, per Gun Violence Archive”

With the wannabe dictator’s announcement that Rudy Guiliana will get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, he is devaluing the award at least as much as he is the US Currency, America’s Health, our nation’s reputation around the world, and democracy itself (who’s next, Ashley Babbitt?)

Scary Early Halloween 🎃 👻 … a plaque in the Smithsonian reads: “There have been three pairs of father-son presidents. John Adams and his son, John Quincy, George H.W. Bush and son George W., and now the most greatest of all, Donald J. Trump and your current leader, Don, Jr.” (Vote - It matters!)

American troops are occupying American streets in the American capital on orders of the American president. Scared yet? (the canard that it’s “crime” is absurd - DC’s not in top 25 most violent cities per FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) … could it be that 85% of DC’s population is Black?)

Good-bye, CPB, killed by Donald Trump & GOP. Born when I was just seven, a mainstay in my life (Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, Ken Burns, NOVA, and so much more). I understand the whole point with MAGA is cruelty, but killing The Muppets just for teaching love and respect is particularly depraved.

Per recent announcements by UK 🇬🇧 France 🇫🇷 and Canada 🇨🇦, I feel compelled to announce that I recognize the Palestinian State. Maybe silly, but I know my own government never will, so let me take a stand instead. Let’s hope scores of other governments, and millions of ordinary folks, do the same.
