Still haven’t moved over her, but glad to see the bat signal is still working 🤣
The other place is looking disrespectfully 🤣

Have you found a way to copy who you were following on the other place.

Is it for politicians though? Sure a lot of people may think they’d date a U.S. Senator, but in reality the scrutiny and public interest has to be uncomfortable at best.

I can’t imagine it’s easy for Booker either — dating a prominent public figure is not something most people take lightly. And it’s not as if they’re on Tinder or going to a bar to pick up dates.

Fair enough, but dating a Senator has to be uncomfortable in general. If he weren’t so publicly prominent I have to imagine it would be much easier to expand his pool of options.

He’s a black conservative U.S. Senator. His dating pool is probably like 6 people, 6 of whom find him uncomfortably disingenuous.
His sexual orientation, whatever it may be, is likely completely irrelevant to his lack of SO.

I suppose our definitions do vary.

I don’t think it makes you unscrupulous. And there’s nothing incompatible between wanting consequences and being an abolitionist.
But these letters serve a purpose closer to abolition than absolution.

I assume prison abolition, but that seems really inconsistent with your response to me, so that’s why I asked.

Out of curiosity—when you say: “abolition now” in your profile, what are you referencing?

A person isn’t the worst thing they’ve done.
And you can stop thinking of someone as a friend when they’ve done something horrendous.
But there’s nothing wrong with telling the judge that the person you previously thought of as a friend isn’t one-dimensional.

They didn’t try to “intervene”. Those letters are a standard part of sentencing.
A judge is only exposed to the worst things a person has done. But it’s the whole person who’s sentenced.
Judges — good ones at least — want a more fulsome picture.

The Supreme Court destroying its own legitimacy over niche right wing unpopular social positions is the second best option after doubling the size of the federal judiciary from the Supreme Court on down.

No one should ever admit to drinking Caffeine free Diet Coke.
That’s just sadness in a can.
