“Provocative.” 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 GET HIM OFF THE COURT. Gift: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html?unlocked_article_code=1.t00.Ihnd.LkwD_75RA6zD&smid=url-share

“Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Home

The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html

Memo to the media:

If you're trying not to "take sides" in a struggle between democracy and fascism, you've taken the side of fascism.

@CindyWeinstein people who haven't seen the disease upclose don't realize how demoralizing the disease is. It robs you of your dignity. My grandpa was like an infant by the end. When my grandpa passed, my grandma felt extremely guilty because she said it was almost like a release for her, because she was a prisoner taking care of him. I'm lucky to have been spared watching my own father fade away like that, I don't think I could have taken it. My deep condolences.

@CindyWeinstein I lost my grandpa to Alzheimers. I am constantly in fear that I will develop it, as I'm the youngest and it tends to skip a generation. Watching my grandpa vanish before our eyes over the years was heart breaking. I hate this disease so much.

@msquebanh @CindyWeinstein My grandpa owned a buisness that supported his family, so when he eventually was too far gone to run it, my dad and I took up the business for him while my grandma became my grandpa's caregiver 24/7. It was so rough because we'd see my grandpa every few days to drop off the books at my grandmas so we got to watch the decline in real time. It was honestly mentally scarring, it scares me so much.

@CindyWeinstein @msquebanh no worries, I'm on top of all that, even the mediterranean diet. I actually need that diet for health reasons beyond alzheimer's (I'm immunocompromised and it's related). My parents were good at imparting the need to catch and treat things early, so I'm not afraid at all of the doctor.

@CindyWeinstein do you know if Parkinson's disease dementia is hereditary? Is there a link between Parkinson and Alzheimer? Two of my grandmother's brothers have Parkinson and one of them hardly recognizes his family.

@CindyWeinstein @msquebanh mastodon has been wonderful for helping me cope with the reality of my sickness, finding like minded people honestly very much helps.

@CindyWeinstein @msquebanh someone's gender is of no consequence to me at all, I respect everybody equally and never mind being explained to. Even on subjects I'm well versed in, I have gaps in my knowledge and it never hurts to have things reiterated. No offense taken at all, I appreciate it.

"Had Joe Biden stood on stage for 33 seconds saying nothing, looking off to the side, his face occasionally straining, there would be nonstop coverage by the major media citing it as evidence of poor mental health. They would certainly demand to know what’s wrong with him. But the media is giving Trump a pass on this."

“It was a gross injustice in a former Confederate state that reeked of the bad old days of Southern jury nullification, a modern update on the impunity with which white men lynched Emmett Till and then laughed at justice”

Glitch is one way to put it/to minimize it. I would say "probable #dementia," as #psychologist Dr. John Gartner calls it.

“It turns out that you can assault the criminal justice system and the rule of law, and call for defunding the police, as long as you are well dressed. Wear the right suit, and suddenly a phalanx of microphones appears. The cops are there to protect your criticism, not pepper-spray you.”
