I parked near some asshole who had a big Trump bumpersticker, and a smaller one that read: "Trump was right about everything."

It took every ounce of self-restraint to not deface it.

@GottaLaff I admire your self-restraint! Our landlord is a big old Trumper, and I'm not sure what to do when/if he puts up a Trump sign in front of our building.

@GottaLaff agree, but how do we get this gasbag off the court? Impeach him? (Joke!) Have Schumer write him a strongly worded letter? Re-label the doors to his judicial chamber "pull" instead of "push"? Initiate gender-neutral bathrooms at SCOTUS?

NYT- Sen. Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, plans to fast-track a Senate vote next month on a bill to protect access to in the U.S. — a constitutional right many voters view as at risk. It's part of an election-year push to highlight Republicans’ record of opposing reproductive rights.

First the upside down flag
Now the insurrection flag

My OpEd shows how this corruption is how SCOTUS has always been—and why the only way to save our democracy is to expand the court and impeach corrupt justices like Alito and Thomas

@QasimRashid impeachment both Thomas and Alito is a swell idea, and they both more than deserve it, but it is difficult to imagine circumstances that would lead to conviction

I'm pretty sure (er, fairly sure?) that SCOTUS will rule that Presidents do not have god/king-like lifetime immunity from prosecution. What I'm more interested in is this: will it be a unanimous decision? Who will dissent, and what is their argument? Will anybody recuse themselves, Clarence Thomas?

@tersenurse@mastodon.social avatar

I took my son climbing in the Gunks for the 4th time on Sunday. We did a route called Gelsa. He panicked on the top part of the route, which is very exposed. He left all my gear still in the rock. We made it to the top just as it became pitch black, and walked back to the car in the darkness. By the time I rapelled the route the next morning, all my climbing gear had been removed. $600 or $800 of gear gone that I can't really afford to replace.

I ran a 5k yesterday. My gps watched crapped out on me, and the official results haven't posted, but my time was something like 30:11. Which was GREAT for me. I hadn't run in almost a month d/t inured ankle. I would like to run a sub-30 5k, and be able to do a 10k without ruining my body.
