They take an oath of office swearing to defend (and maybe uphold) the constitution. Since that means nothing, and exceptions have been made before, or someone else could do it, this is all a tactic.

Frankly, I don't see what difference releasing the file will make anyway.

I always thought the week or so around Thanksgiving was perfectly reasonable to start doing Christmas stuff. Now it's going out with Halloween. Christmas fatigue is a thing.

I know I'm not supposed to be political on my socials because that's not why my followers are following me and it might alienate readers. It's a botched paraphrase but, "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing." Those words echo in my head a lot these days. /end

I was once an idealistic patriot who signed the blank check to serve my country. Now, just when I think I can't be any more ashamed to be an American, something new happens and I find a new low.

I can only hope that someday there will be justice for the victims of ICE's reign of terror. 1/2

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

I wish I even knew what to say about the horrors being inflicted on people right now. Land of the free and home of the brave, my ass.

Getting ready for my trip, doing laundry, picking luggage, and figuring out what I need. I haven't gone anywhere fun in 19+ years and haven't left New England since 2008.

Random question, would anyone in the BlueSky-verse be interested in a giveaway of a signed paperback copy of Straw Girl (and a potential second place prize of a couple bookmarks or something)?

Enough like/share/repost and I'll do one.

Post-op follow up appointments probably used to have a purpose, but my six week follow up happening 9+ weeks later, and it's just "hey how's it going" and no exam is a waste of my time. Aka, it could have been an email.

I was really excited to get some sushi for lunch tomorrow from the place right down the road from the office. But a "carryout fee" that's almost 25% of my order? No thank you.
