By defending his wife Ayesha Curry, NBA superstar Steph Curry is defending women’s rights — to be all you can be, no limitations. The amount in community services the Currys have given to communities in the SF Bay Area likely runs into $hundreds of millions. www.instagram.com/p/DfnRUXLD81...

Honoring my dad for his service in WWII w/the US Army Air Forces (precursor to US Air Force). One of my proudest moments as his son was 5 yrs ago in Washington, DC, accepting (posthumously) the Congressional Gold Medal for distinguished service on his behalf, a member of Chinese-American veterans.

While Susie Wiles enabled Trump’s narcissism and greed because that’s who she is, Stephen Miller’s psychology is far more oriented around sadism. I wrote about how he got this way and the consequences for the next two years. Please consider subscribing. www.mind-war.com/p/making-of-...

Russia's security demands could force NATO to reverse nearly 30 years of European defence arrangements.

US-brokered peace talks between Ukraine and Russia opened in Abu Dhabi. Russia demands European security concessions before a ceasefire, including NATO's retreat to its pre-1997 positions. European officials are excluded from the negotiations.

According to @reuters.com, Trump has already made plans to rule without Congress. Stephen Miller and Russell Vought will run the show. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The attorney general is not the president's defense attorney and he's certainly not the White House chief of staff's attorney. Just saying this nonsense is disqualifying for an attorney general -- he's an idiot and a partisan hack, totally unqualified for the job.

AG Todd Blanche: "You have Garcia minutes after Stephen Miller was promoted to chief of staff telling him to 'lawyer up.' Well I'll tell you what. Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me."

The American people are begging the White House to focus on lowering costs, but the best Trump can do is "more Stephen Miller and the culture of cruelty." He just doesn’t get it.

I posted (and pinned) these posts almost 2 years ago, at a depressing time following the 2024 general election. In the past few days, my Doom scrolling has gone to Hope scrolling. 🌊👊🌊

These are times that feel rife with mourning, for what was and what might be. I have a friend who shared this photo ~12 yrs ago. She had stacked some artichokes on a plate as a decorative centerpiece. Over time they shriveled and blackened into dried husks, looking lifeless and gray…

And this word from the esteemed @hcrichardson.bsky.social…

A little history lesson…

Watch to the end, when he says, “… I would have done nothing different…”.

Now, what becomes of the SCOTUS following the Midterms, dominated by the Democrats? Long-ish read, but perspective is everything, so well worth the time.

261. The Midterms and the Courts, Part I

John Roberts is in a similar position to Owen Roberts in December 1936. Whether he’ll react the same way could say a lot about the Supreme Court’s future.

What if a federal agent walks into a polling place and demands the ballots? Watch this civics video. States run elections. No federal agency can seize ballots without a lawful court-issued warrant. Even then, it would be extraordinary federal interference in how states run their elections.

Friends don't let friends avoid voting on a rainy day. Help keep the lines dry! Bring an extra umbrella to the polls tomorrow and loan it out. Stock your car with umbrellas if you're driving people to the polls.

Sarah Paine is an exceptional historian. Her depth of knowledge, command of the subject, and ability to put complex historical events into context are truly impressive. She doesn’t just know the history; she understands the forces, personalities, and decisions that shaped it.

“…about 80% of new cases are coming from outside the chain of monitored contacts, meaning an overwhelming share of infections are coming from unknown chains of transmission to health authorities”. I can’t help but think of Trump and Musk’s destruction of USAID today.

This is who Trump’s pointless war is benefitting. When he says “we are making a fortune” the “WE” isn’t YOU, it’s THEM ⛽️

ICE broke Erik Zepeda's wrist—a special needs student in California—and he wasn't even who they were looking for. No apology, no accountability. NOTHING. I am sick and tired of ICE's cruelty and unchecked violence. VOTE.

Giving Ghislaine Maxwell cushier accommodations isn't reward enough for being a notorious serial pedophile. Donald Trump now floats the idea of pardoning her. It would be done as a professional courtesy between serial child rapists. Despicable.

Donald Trump says he'll speak to DOJ about Ghislaine Maxwell pardon

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein.
