A little good news today. It won't change the makeup of the court and we knew Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson had been confirmed, 53-47 and just had to be sworn in the day Justice Breyer retired, but let's take a moment to celebrate progress. It's too slow sometimes, but Black women can finally see themselves represented on the Supreme Court. I only wish it were a court that still held any legitimacy. May Justice Jackson be on the court long enough to see some legitimacy returned to it.

I'm all for making sure it's a good case as we just have one chance and even timing it out close to when people are voting, strategically, but we're stretching it out a bit here.

In any case, we should all advocate to our government on a regular basis as to what we put them there for.

It isn't a choice between high gas prices and low gas prices.

It's a choice between high gas prices with democracy and high gas prices with no democracy.

Plus Republican wars on minorities, immigrants, public schools, universities, science, medicine, women, LGBTQIA+ people and their families, our planetary ecosystem, the free press, Big Bird, Mickey Mouse, and any fellow Republicans who dare disagree with MAGA.

No, thanks.

If there is any "abnormal lifestyle choice" to be found right now, it's being in the Republican Party.

Trump supporters think that if he returns to power, that they're safe. They are dangerously mistaken. He will run over people like a steamroller. Ask people in authoritarian counties how many guns they own. Or TVs. Or homes, for that matter.

Both Crenshaw and Cornyn are Trump water carriers (and arrogant jerks.) The leopard still tried to eat their faces. It'll eat anyone else's it needs to, too. That's what extremism causes.

Rusty Bowers was a compelling witness, but it was Shaye Moss’s testimony that made my blood boil.

What Giuliani and Trump did to her, her mother, and grandmother was deranged.

While a Republican State House Speaker's testimony held great weight, nothing speaks to the abject cruelty, the ultimate pettiness, the misdirected criminal intent and effect of Trump's sordid, twice-impeached, disgraced time in office, and clear conspiracy to overturn a free and democratic election than the intimidation of this election worker, her mother, and grandmother.

They certainly threatened Bowers and his family, but they did not burst open his grandmother's door waving faked documents and demanding a house arrest. They did that to Moss because she is Black.

I hope numerous torts and civil lawsuits await Trump---on top of the many felony charges I hope Justice is preparing for him. It can't happen soon enough.
