Through multiple administrations, the VA had been underfunded but still met all of my needs. Between appointment and prescription delivery delays, I've had to move onto private insurance to deal with my service related injuries. The VA under Trump 2.0 is a fucking travesty

Really upset to realize that I've lost access to the pictures that would go with this, but I've been thinking a lot about Walter Mulligan, Anthony Mongillo, and Issac Sims this Memorial Day, as I always do. Love you all and hope to be reunited someday

Trump’s racist trolling of South Africa’s president today is perhaps the most racist WH moment since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915.

So glad to see HB 7041 pass the Connecticut House today! Critical step in breaking the corporate and prosecutorial dominance of the bench by requiring reports on professional backgrounds of all judicial applicants and approved candidates to deter bias against pro-people attorneys reviewed by the JSC

Fun update: apparently VA prescription delivery takes forever now too, so I've been off of the medication that keeps my brain from trying to destroy itself for about a week 🙃

If Trump successfully installs his heinously corrupt henchman on the 3rd Circuit, it will be because SENATE DEMOCRATS refused to confirm Biden's nominee to this very seat—based on their own Islamophobia and credulous embrace of bigoted GOP smears. Just a total nightmare top to bottom.

For the last fifteen years, despite staffing challenges, I could reliably get an appointment with my VA psychiatrist within a week of calling. My last appointment booked one month out

When I was a baby adult just getting out into the world, Matty's bullshit would have made me feel super smart, but holy shit. This dipshit has been around for years, and we all know the grift now. Any of us could write this garbage, but we have at least some kind of self respect

My cop dad always told me it was super important that we weren't listed in the phone book so the big bad gang members from Stamford, CT wouldn't come and kill us all in our sleep. Freely available online now, but surprise! Cops aren't being murdered in their homes. This is totally different though

The one good thing about having a cop for a dad is knowing deep in my bones what a crock of shit this advice is

The theory here seems to be that because the U.S. Supreme Court happens to have narrowed its interpretation of a single bribery statute the word “corruption” has lost its centuries old meaning.

NEW: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has a big choice to make. Sign the newly passed Worker Protection Act, which makes it easier to unionize or Commit "political suicide," as the state AFL-CIO leader put it to me. "If he vetoes this, he's ‘Right to Work Polis’ from this point on. He's cooked."

Which law school career office will be the first to start pushing right wing news jobs as a path to becoming a government lawyer 🙃

The right wing converts didn't grow up with the guilt though. That's how they can know all the weird arcana but can't fit in with a normal church. JD converted for all of the rules and judgment only to find that most US Catholics don't actually give a shit
