I refuse to believe that a 15-minute, 1.2 mile run burns anything less than 300 calories. It’s just cruel to call it less than that. Especially if it’s been a while.

Shut down the Senate. Shut it down until the Marines & National Guard are out of all cities, DOJ drops charges against sitting congresspeople. Shut it down until Stephen Miller is out of government.

Yes! Why is it Kaine & Warner are blind to this?

How fast would these guys have fired Walter Cronkite for his Vietnam commentary?

As opposed to the orchestrated Stop the Steal misinfo campaign that led to the 1/6 insurrection.

When they’re actually saving our social security! Anyone who uses a false SSN to pay in will never see any benefits. That just floats the rest of us.

That’s it? That’s all hey could come up with after months of digging for dirt? Wow!

What else can you do to stop this disastrous bill BEFORE it gets to the floor? Or to stop the administration’s open defiance of court orders & dismantling of democracy?

Jenkins is white & he profiled Latinos in service to ICE. That ticks a couple of major boxes for Trump.

Introducing corrective legislation is fine, but we need you to fight in every other lawful way, too. Shape public opinion outside the Senate. Raise the alarm. Get in good trouble.

Plenty of Americans want Trump’s takeover to succeed, sadly.

So smart. I went to Italy on my mission in the mid-80s and I wish I had done that.

Trump said so explicitly in his address to Congress—about Rubio by name. How stupid do you have to be to trust the guy & sacrifice all your dignity for him?

Some of the best, smartest advocates I’ve known (women of color)—way smarter than me—couldn’t pass the bar exam and it breaks my heart.

Like the court wants to make Brown v Board into something it wasn’t, too… mere color blindness. They give lip service to what we’ve learned in the last 80 years, while pushing us backwards.

I wish we could ignore crazy ideas like making CECOT American territory to deport citizens to, but I’d put nothing past the Trump admin.

We also need to reform courts so that tenants, with or without representation, can get a fair opportunity to raise defenses. In Virginia at least it’s nearly impossible for a tenant to know how to jump into the well-practiced dance between landlord attorneys and judges.

We’ll need the extra resistance power of the 6-knuckled fist… Like Nigel’s amp that goes up to 11. #thisisspinaltap

I don’t remember who said (or skeeted) this, but these explanations that blame Kamala’s campaign echo “but what was she wearing?” and “why was she out so late?” No excuses for the electorate. American voters chose the evil option. On the whole, we kinda suck.

The very idea of combining “house” and “centipede”… I’d be happy to see one outside. But I walk around barefoot in my house. (I wish I had a childlike wonder when it comes to bugs, but I don’t.)

I love that there are people who appreciate stuff like this, but that’s not me. And now I (living in RVA) get to worry about running into this. 😕 Gives me the willies.

I’m not much on social media, but I love the stuff you post. Many years ago as an undergrad at BYU, I worked as a research assistant to Prof. Ron Walker. It was so enjoyable (and he was great).

It’s good and please post your stuff here. Your amazing substack from a couple of days ago… I’m lucky I checked Threads and caught it.

Prioritizing his own interests over whose interests? Is it really in the nation’s interest to make Hunter Biden rot in prison?
