I take pictures with an old phone while I wander in nature. I love poetry. My serenity is solitude and silence. Kindness reminds me that I have a heart. I work most waking hours. I don’t love money and I don’t care about yours. اللهم إني أسألك حسن الختام

America’s treatment of Afghan refugees (especially those brave souls who put their lives on the line aiding US forces during their pointlessly futile 20-year war in that country) is utterly reprehensible. Another stain on the deplorable reputation of America around the world. 😠

One Afghan caseworker said cases of this kind make her “want to melt into the ground.” “They tell me, ‘Hey … do you know how I saved my boss in this war?’” she said.

Scary. Make dinner a lovely relaxed time with factual, open communication about current events, the news, and scientific discoveries. It’s like a vaccine against ignorant indoctrination for your kids.

From the people who whine incessantly about “liberal indoctrination”... Every accusation is a confession, etc.🙄

Add to it that Republicans control every branch of government (remember your big “win”) and THIS is the result.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

His trashy version of heaven: grifting, stealing, conning, betraying, being a traitor, lying, hurting people, being vulgar, and being surrounded by a conman’s version of luxury. I can’t imagine him being accepted anywhere the least bit pure and peaceful or even moderately nice.

I hope there’s a path to set firm boundaries with unbearable punishment to prevent these abuses from ever happening again. The entire nation is in shock over this administration’s vulgar, cruel, and corrupt behavior. The shock will wear off, then off with their heads. And empty their bank accounts.

I’m not a law professor, but okey dokey: 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Harlow v. Fitzgerald (1982), Pearson v. Callahan (2009).Taylor v. Riojas (2020). Intellectual curiosity is a beautiful thing. Skepticism is eh. Cynicism is tiresome. Arrogance usually works opposite of what you want.

Fuck bootlickers. Worse than the stupid—at least the stupid have the mercy of ignorance. Bootlickers choose degradation with intent. Parasites lapping up power’s droppings, smiling while they swallow. Nothing lower than a collaborator. Nothing fouler than someone who kneels and calls it principle.

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
