@Teri_Kanefield one question I had re Trump and the civil judgement/bond is this: Would we know if someone like the Saudi's or Putin came to the rescue or would it be hidden by lots of shell corps? Like he can't get the bond allegedly, then what?

Trying to make a new online social home here in the Fediverse. Husband/Father/Biologist/Liberal. Will be looking around for a while and hope to find some new and interesting peeps! Opinions are my own #WeAre #LoveIsLove
Yes yes we don’t throw things and yell and “show our ass” here Nick. #CollegeFootball
Teri KanefieldWhen people in 2021 and 2022 were demanding indictments now, I warned people that indictments are the beginning of a long harrowing process.
That is where we are now. It will never end.
People told me "once there are indictments I'll be happy because I'll know the DOJ is actually doing something."
I said, "No you won't be happy." It will be nerve wracking.
The reason: even a criminal conviction will not save democracy from the threat Trump poses.

Arne BrasseurEvery town should have a cable depot where everyone brings the cables they aren't using and they sort, test, and store them, and when you need some random cable you simply drop by the cable depot to pick it up. And if they don't have it they'll request it from the next town over, like inter library loans.

Paul CantrellStill, there’s a real tension here: it is my job as an educator both to make students •comfortable• and to make students •uncomfortable•. And by meaning too many different things at once, that word — “comfortable” — complicates the job.
Instead, try breaking comfort/discomfort along different axes:
- seen / unseen
- valued / unvaled
- safe / unsafe
- unchallenged / challenged
- unfrustrated / frustrated
etc.
Doesn’t that make the problem clearer?

Nothing says ban assault rifles like 5 school officers, 8 federal DEA officers, 13 U.S. Marshals, 16 sheriff’s deputies, 25 Uvalde officers, 69 officers of nearby law enforcement, 91 state police officers plus 149 U.S. Border Patrol agents being scared of 1 shooter with an AR-15.

For me, the real nugget of this story is why she was sent home (repeatedly) in the first place by various medical staff.
From an earlier story, she had waited for 8 hours to be seen
(presumably because the hospital was worried about legal liability.)
But before that, she was admitted twice for vaginal bleeding -- and sent home each time.
The Dobbs decision is absolutely the culprit here. But its equally culpable accessory is the well-documented and persistent racism by healthcare professionals against Black folks.
Even if efforts to protect reproductive health & access are successful, that racist elephant in the room is going to continue to stomp around and endanger Black folks' lives.
The medical profession has to *do something* to be less racist.
@Teri_Kanefield something I ponder as I read this Just Security article: If DC denies this and SCOTUS either denies cert or rejects after arguments, I assume that would then foreclose the ability of future despots to try such things? https://www.justsecurity.org/91074/mandate-matters-how-the-dc-circuit-could-limit-trumps-run-out-the-clock-strategy/
