I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again: where oh, where are all of those strict constitutionalists demanding that the executive branch’s power and reach is limited in their very, very very limited government view?

If you watch any sporting event in America and the commercials, it would be hard to contend that American culture tells young men that they are "bad" if they like to have a beer with friends. This is far-right, culture-war drivel.

A Deputy Chief of the St. Paul Police Department (male) once said to me: "the department will be where it needs to be when over half of the officers are women. Women are better at negotiating, which is what most police work involves."

Dictatorial political regimes always weaponize medical care against the people they target. Doctors have ethical obligations to their patients, but dictators do not care about these obligations. They care only about doctors' loyalty to the political regime. No paywall archive.ph/un1Lu

Weird watching inauguration coverage focused so much on the pomp, treating much of this as normal, versus pointing out the next POTUS is an insurrection-inciting, twice-impeached, convicted felon taking office after waging a massive disinfo campaign on country w/help of billionaires like Elon Musk.

On this national day of shame I choose not to focus on Donald Trump and his awful, miserable and pathetic people. I choose to focus on Dr. Martin Luther King and our better angels.

I pray this helps some of you today. We have a duty to Dr. King whose life was taken because he dared demand that this country face itself, to demonstrate that his work & sacrifice was not in vain. Let’s do it together. Please share. And subscribe. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Trump sees information as a weapon, not a tool to promote truth. We know how he operates this time. He lies for a reason. We need to go beyond simple fact-checks and spotlight the intent of his disinformation campaigns and how they fit into the machinery of his broader plans.
