I remember this. I was on a one year grad program at Hebrew U. The 95/96 school year was a crazy year: bus bombings, rabin, this, Bibi elected.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #451,916! lol

Periodic reminder: Our government is dependent on Musk and his companies in an extremely concerning way, and we need to continue demanding for electeds to cut the damn cord. It's not going to happen overnight, but it has to happen. Call your electeds. wapo.st/3B5Wf7u

two thoughts upon reading this. first, john roberts might be as much of a MAGA freak as alito and thomas. second, his behavior is IDENTICAL to roger taney’s. like, the road to Trump v. USA is almost exactly the same as the process that produced Dred Scott (gift link)

How Roberts Shaped Trump’s Supreme Court Winning Streak

Behind the scenes, the chief justice molded three momentous Jan. 6 and election cases that helped determine the former president’s fate.

If Trump loses the election, he'll face punishment for his crimes. If he wins and becomes president again, he'll reject jury verdicts and stifle the remaining cases, breaking the legal system in the process. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. The 2024 election is an up-or-down vote on rule of law.

Sometimes I think that there’s nothing more American than a Black woman with a fastidiously polished resume running against a racist white nepo baby who wants to kill everyone and can’t finish a sentence and them being roughly tied.

How about Bozo’s Circus? I was in the audience.

I could have made money off a show about my twin sisters?? Dang. What a missed opportunity

get this shit away from me. what year is it

i think if i could get people to understand anything it is that just because the state is colored "red" or "blue" on a map doesn't mean every single person in that state is a republican or democrat

I understand intellectually why this person will get at least 46% of the vote (partisanship, polarization, ideology, religion, race.) But nine years into this, I still don't really understand. www.washingtonpost.com/elections/20...
