Enjoying my exodus to bluer skies. Especially enjoying talking about football, baseball, books, art, gardening and cooking with a mindful dose of politics, philosophy and religion (ie everything you shouldn’t talk to family about, especially mine lol)

“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”
she did it! her! way!!
she did it! her! way!!
Alysa Liu’s Olympic run came with terms. Her choreographer helps her express them
Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.

Can't say enough how much of a joy it was to see Alysa Liu win gold today. Women's sports are so often centered on control. To watch a young athlete embody freedom and strength and come out on top is so special

I hope these messages Alysa is trying to get out here are hitting athletes who need to hear them, but I hope they’re hitting coaches & parents & admins even harder

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.
Excellent article!

I love how they went from "Guns Don't Kill People" to "A Gun Can Kill People Even If You Don't Use It!"
Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.
Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever
Bessent: But he brought a gun!
Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.

AYFKM? Like a Philip K. Dick novel.
Vladeck is a strait-laced law professor, aka the Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor of Federal Courts (Georgetown). Video is on the Constitution (right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses etc.)
TikTok: Not so sure you can talk about that.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

Republicans like Sen. Thom Tillis are realizing that, in this regime, Republicans who step out of line will be made an example of through made-up legal charges, as is typical in dictatorships. Jerome Powell is being crucified for simply running an independent agency independently from Donald Trump.

Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE. She wasn’t just killed, she was murdered.
The right was already trying to vilify her before we even knew her name. But I’m just going to say it…
They’re going to have a much harder time doing that this time.
She’s not Brown.
She’s not Black.
She’s white.
