Semi-retired lawyer -- had the “Western Civilization” education that right wingers want for all, but read the books. Very worried about how our institutions are failing us, one by one.

The entire chain of command should be imprisoned for each of these murders. Not just these two. All 87.

Three important things I did today — in order of importance

Saw Nancy Pelosi and thanked her profusely for all she has done. (She liked my yellow Dubs t shirt.)

Went to the SF March, where the above occurred.

Walked my dog pre-March and grabbed lunch: a Buy-Rite lemongrass pork sandwich.

Please find your local NO KINGS march — and post a picture of your signs.

This photo should be preserved forever.

The callousness and cowardice of a bunch of old, stupid white guys — and one white woman.

Shameful. Probably the worst bill in our lifetimes — rushed to passage, slimmest of margins, based on a pack of lies (including norm-shattering lies about cost).

Limited briefing, little or no legal analysis, no hearing -- a string of wins for a lawless and corrupt administration from the Court
