If you want to know what's up with the Comey kangaroo court, here's an excellent digest 🧵 from @annabower.bsky.social

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 1d

The hearing marks Comey’s first court appearance since Trump demanded that the Justice Department pursue charges against him, despite concerns among prosecutors that there is insufficient evidence to criminally charge him.

The arraignment is set for 10 am this morning.

We're all still here.
That's why they're pissed.

Perhaps the MAGAts thought Cheeto Jesus was going to reverse rapture the left, black people, brown people, LGBTQ+ people etc. right off the planet??

I was once, back in the day.

In fact, Clay Shirky, who was the Asst Lighting Designer on a show I worked, called me a goddess during tech in front of the entire company and crew.

Now I worship others, and am pretty much a crone - which is actually much easier than being a goddess.

If we're ever going to be a country that loves & protects children we need to have a serious conversation about, & expand the definition of, child abuse. Conversion therapy is child abuse. Religious indoctrination is child abuse. Supremacist ideology is child abuse.

TPM @talkingpointsmemo.com · 1d

The Supreme Court's conservatives advanced the right's greater project of discrediting experts Tuesday, feigning that there is no medical consensus against conversion therapy.

The Medical Science Is Always ‘Uncertain’ When It Pushes Against Supreme Court’s Bias

If you came into Tuesday’s oral argument over Colorado’s conversion therapy ban...

It's useful for most stressful situations - like driving on I95 at any time.

We shunpike as much as possible, and picked our PCP because she's only 3 (backroads) miles away and, as Husbun puts it, "On the direct route to Yale New Haven Hospital." 🤣

This applies to all essential Federal workers at work during the shutdown.

Be kind, patient, and generous; they are working without pay, and we all know that FOTUS will still try to stiff them or fire them if he can.

Rogue SSA @alt-ssa.altgov.info · 7d

If you need to contact SSA, please also remember that the person who's helping you is working without pay. Agency admin staff are furloughed, so they're also without the internal support they need, all while being a punching bag for people who won't take, "I can't legally do that" for an answer.

AltSSA @altssa.altgov.info · 7d

🚨🚨🚨 SHUTDOWN INFO:
SSA is open and functioning (mostly)!!!! You should not miss payments you are expecting, if you do, please let us know. Field Offices and phones are open and staffed!!!! Here is the list of things we are not allowed to process during the shutdown so please don’t yell at us for it!

Yes, this!
I too am subject to 'white coat syndrome' BP spikes, and find that mindful breathing, even during a BP test, results in lower readings more indicative of my normal everyday BP.

Thank you! We should ALL be stocking up like this with meds for our sisters in need.

I worry for people who use contraception and assume it has worked, only to discover at 6 to 8 weeks GA that it's failed and they are pregnant.

It only needs to be added that the South Carolina Supreme Court is comprised of four white men and one white woman.
Who is going to suffer the most if this appalling legislation passes?

Not them.
