Voters vote and courts adjudicate. Know the difference. Also, he didn't write this. 'Adjudicated' is not in Trump's limited vocabulary.

Big Journalism's timidity is never more obvious than when, confronted with a blatant lie from a (usually Republican) politician, the news org then frames the lie as a mere mistake.

Example today from ABC News -- headline:

"South Dakota Gov. Noem admits error of describing meeting Kim Jong Un in new book"

Come on, journalists, this just makes you look ridiculous.

Horrible, of course, but good. Quote him exactly so people hear what #psychologist #Dr.JohnGartner and over 2,000 people who work with people with #dementia have identified as #Trump's "probable dementia."

“The radical left — they’ve been after us for years, and they’ve screwing with people’s lives,” he said, without clarifying who else he was including in the statement. “They’ve gone out and hired lawyers, they’ve been with lawyers for years, being sucked dry.”

Simona Kossak (1943-2007) Polish biologist, ecologist, author, PhD in forestry, conservation activist.

They called her a witch because she chatted with animals and owned a crow, who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders. She spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest.

A lynx slept in her bed, and a tamed boar lived under the same roof with her. She was a scientist, ecologist, & the author of award-winning films, as well as radio broadcasts.

On #academic #twitter as practiced by #DiabeticOfEnlightenment: "The truth is I love literary criticism. I never want to be confused with some type of guy that’s all anti-theory, “humanities jargon is meaningless,” “let’s get back to philology.” I love academic arguments. And if I make fun of something scholarly online, I’ve almost certainly spent hours and hours reading and thinking about it, so the joke’s ultimately on me."

Listening to that exchange with Trump’s lawyer about the crimes a president should be able to commit with total immunity, and he says MURDER and COUPS could be “official acts” and warrant immunity even after leaving office, and I’m getting that stuck in a really bad timeline feeling again.

@Green_Footballs. Clearly the bar to do the right thing -- to protect , to protect all of us -- has disappeared. Given that seemingly indisputable fact, I would encourage some of the to go back to their and read the part about self-interest rightly understood.

The students were blown away & we had such a good conversation about the names in the book, representations of the body (Baby Suggs speaks about loving one's body even as we read about it flying apart at the seams), & - the lyrical beauty of the narrator's voice.
