Congressman, and constitutional scholar, Jamie Raskin

“Section 3 of the 14th Amendment presents a clear and unequivocal statement that anyone who has sworn an oath of office…who engage in insurrection or rebellion…can never serve again in federal or state office”

Judge Chutkan: "Setting a trial date should not depend on a person's professional obligations. Mr Trump will have to make this work.. regardless of his schedule"

If you're okay with a low-cost annual subscription, AnyList is fantastic for grocery/recipe lists, and it's cross-platform.
To approach this from a different angle, I would say this is actually an ironically encouraging sign that we are lurching in a good direction. There's always going to be some level of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc., but those things are mainstream enough that you have to be really hard right to beat the drum for them. It's the kind of thing that might still play in certain areas, and with certain types or demographic, but the mainstream isn't really down with it. Open pro-trans movements and statements are pretty new compared to these other things, so it's just the latest in the succession of what-can-I-hate-up that authoritarian types latched onto. I have a feeling we're lurching -- and pretty quickly -- toward trans becoming more mainstream

@SirNuke See if there’s a local bike project near you. There’s one near me that accepts donated bikes and refurbishes and sells them for fairly cheap or uses them for parts. They have all kinds of tools and workspace that you can use to work on your own stuff.

@etherdiver This might be tangential, but there's a really great lemmy instance that's focused on science at mander.xyz. Kind of a Reddit alternative if you're not familiar with lemmy.

@breadandcircuses Snuck always and forever. Sneaked is an abomination, but I suspect it's what people feel is proper English. I also despise 'hanged' even if it's some old-tyme lawspeak. Hung, full stop.
