Notably, in 2005, sex-same intercourse had only been legal in TX for two years! I was a junior in high school in TX when SCOTUS decided on Lawrence v. Texas. But most importantly: the dial moves! They’re going after trans kids just like they once went after gay kids. And trans adults.

"Nobody I know is having problems with affordability. Nobody is struggling. Nobody worth mentioning, anyway."

Nobody can be manipulated by the president if they refuse to be manipulated. If you don't understand by now that Donald Trump is narcissistic mendacious racist grifter, there's really nothing to say to you. Good luck in life.

This is a common conservative fallacy - I remember it being used back in the '90s. They know how polls and statistics work. Their internal polls are telling them much the same story. They are - as usual - lying. We the People should be ready to defend the election results, in word and action.

Outstanding. Nationalize it.

This is the kind of thinking we need. The kind of thinking that restores the republic.

It's like a lot of things... my favorite is that the media obsessed over the Clinton Foundation for months - and found nothing. Meanwhile, Trump U got a $25 million fraud judgment against them. The vast majority of media is owned by the billionaire class. They didn't buy it just for funsies.

It's the same with authoritarians and bullies everywhere - if they see weakness, they will exploit it. If you punch them in the nose (metaphorically of course, because I would never advocate for violence), they will back down. Resist oppression like your life depends on it. Eventually, it will.

Jonagold was the best apple on the market back when I could get them - it's been years now. Don't know what I'd do without Cosmic Crisp. Take my chances with Pinks, I guess. It's Fall though, and the apples on the trees are marvelous, and I have high hopes for Bellflowers pretty soon.

It's not just their illegal wealth - you don't become a billionaire except through dishonesty. At this point (and since Reagan) they're just writing the laws to benefit themselves. We need tax investigations, trust busting, false claims enforcement... We need the rule of law.

Vivek Ramaswamy is going after the abusive parent vote: defector.com/vivek-ramasw...

Fascism is the new freedom Oppression is the new liberty Cruelty is the new kindness Lies are the new truths Up is the new down Conservative is the new punk...

I have a specifically designated bottle of scotch. For when the republic is restored. Which we will know when we see the wealthy and powerful in orange, with silver bracelets. May that day come soon.

I think Vivek's biggest problem is that the trolls who won't be appalled by this garbage tend to also be gutter racists and won't want to elevate him however much he pleads, "I'm one of you! Really!" He may be among the most evil of US public figures; he's got my vote for the most pathetic.

Strong agree. Candy all around. Except the feds. Gosh darn.

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Remember back when Bill Clinton (who was not president at the time) met with Loretta Lynch in an airplane and all hell broke loose in the media? I think the media's dual standards are there to encourage us to have goldfish memories. Memory will drive you guano up a wall.

Freud sat there, looking at him over his glasses, his eyes getting wider and wider. Suddenly, and with an uncharacteristic small noise from the back of his mouth, he started furiously writing in his note pad...

Got the new Percy Jackson series going on with wife and a child. It's a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. Kid actors are very young looking, but very compelling. I could practically see the wheels turning in Anabeth's head right from the start. And it won't benefit a vile bigot.

I love this time of the year. It's cooled off, and I have a nice box of apples in the garage, waiting for the press... Bellflowers coming soon, and maybe some other varieties. People in the community know that I'm an apple fanatic, and they sometimes bring me some. Makes good cider.

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

I have seen such progress in an egg. We call it "going bad" in Narnia.

This was well done. Not as bloody as some of us would like. But probably very effective to many ordinary Americans.

I keep seeing good words from this guy.

Absolutely not. I want to exact retribution on the whole GOP for the next 50 years, until people are saying, "Yes, we know they're evil, but when will it be enough?" I want to see them exposed and disgraced, for the MAGA hat to be looked at with horror, a sign of evil. I want to see justice done.

"I'm not defending Putin..." he says, while defending Putin.

All the children are ours. We are all responsible for all the children. Here, in Haiti, in Gaza.

I mean, I know Dolly wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same week... But Madness wrote My Girl and It Must Be Love in the same year (or so).

Spent some time in my happy place today - up an apple tree. Very soul healing, highly recommend if you like that kind of thing.
