@ps9714 and one doesn't need the Amazing Kreskin to find out what's next. Despicable.

A "reasonable" person? Surprised he lets his wife make her own decisions. Certainly not a right he's afforded to the women of the US. Judge Alito is not exactly a "reasonable" person.

This is a terribly disturbing story in today's Washington Post. Our nation's history has always been a two sided coin. There is one side that we are never supposed to see. The victims and perpetrators of these crimes committed in the 1800s through the mid 1970s are dying off. Their stories are finally finding some light. I didn't leave the church. The church left me.

@QueenOfEverything I'm not a Texas resident. I've visited my sister in Tyler and the University of Houston on two different trips. It was an interesting place. Extreme heat and extreme politics seems to go hand in hand. There was a wry humor that I always appreciated in Richards, Ivens and many musicians that I've admired. I couldn't spend 16 years there though? That's as long a sentence as anyone should have. Glad you escaped.

@QueenOfEverything how the hell did we wind up here with that motley crew?

Just watched this wonderful play after talking with a former student of mine who is now living in Austin, Texas. We started talking Texas politics and I shared what seems like a dream now - the lives of Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards and Molly Ivens. After our conversation I ended up watching this wonderful play. Gov. Richards died in 2006 but her message really still applies today.

The Alito's are in big celebration mode this weekend.

@DevinY1 please let this be true!

@Kinnison yep, their motto is right - "democracy dies in darkness." Pretty dark at the WAPO these days.

"Trump’s campaign of pervasive lying succeeded in eroding public confidence in an election in which there was no evidence of significant fraud."

Facebook wouldn’t allow me to post an article that had a #politics tag on it yesterday. Claimed it was against Community Standards. But this? They actually put this crap on my timeline. Clowns.

Sometimes a problem is more valuable than its solution. Immigration is on them now.

@Coctaanatis yesterday's ruling on racial gerrymandering is just one more step in our march back to the 1930s. Precedent is meaningless to these fools.

"We have no troubles here. Here, life is beautiful. The girls are beautiful. Even the orchestra is beautiful
-Emcee in Cabaret.

Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling was cloaked in the same darkness that the character in Cabaret echoed so well. Frightening.

"There is indeed a sense of power and entitlement coming from MAGA Republicans as they impose new limits on their fellow Americans and call those constraints freedom."
