It’s weird that every day, major media outlets (NYTimes, WaPo, NPR, Reuters, CNN) are not leading w/a headline that reads something like… “ONGOING CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS: POTUS Continues to Defy US Supreme Court order, now XYZ days in a row.” They should be shouting it. Every. Single. Day.

My dad would have been 94 years old today. In the early 80s I had soccer practice in a nearby public park. Neighbors decided to chain and lock the gate during certain hours to keep no good kids out. This was during the Satanic Panic so who knows, although basketball hoops were removed too.
