Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered "bad" in the Catholic tradition

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Semi-interesting discovery from tonight’s genealogy deep dive: I have ties to two U.S. Ambassadors to Norway who served nearly consecutively. (Margaret Tibbetts was my dad’s grandfather’s cousin; Thomas Byrne was my mom’s step-grandfather’s cousin.) No family connection to Norway otherwise. 🤷‍♂️

The core selling point of Trumpism is that other people's suffering will be your gain. So when something awful happens--a plane crash, a mass shooting, you name it--they cannot and will not offer solutions. All they will offer is more suffering.

I adore Raskin, and this is in no way meant to be a criticism of him, but it is extremely funny that the media is trying to frame his campaign against Nadler as an example of the young’uns taking on the old guard, when the young’un in question is about to turn 62.

“Trans people are to blame, for some reason” post-election takes are the worse post-election takes, but the “you can’t blame trump voters 🥺 they had no idea what they were voting for 🥺” takes are coming in at a close second

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
