Shocked — just shocked! (not) — to learn that the praying coach Supreme Court case was a big phony, as was Florida coach Joe Kennedy with his claim that his religious freedom was being trampled on as he sought just to pray privately at football games. Since, as we all know, God loves nothing more than a good football game and a praying coach and football team….

Took a shower and feel fresher. I seem to be developing more tolerance to cold water rinses at the end, though maybe that won't hold up when the cooler and then colder weather arrives.
But at least right now it feels good to end showers with a cold rinse of 30 seconds or more.
Ginni Thomas helped establish a 'billion-dollar force' ahead of Citizens United: report
From CNN's "Reliable Sources" newsletter: "In the last 48 hours, I've spotted advertisements for Apple, McDonald's, Gatorade, Ritz Crackers, Samsung, Wendy's, Red Bull, NFL, MLB, Paramount, State Farm, IBM, and 20th Century Fox.
"News outlets such as The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, CNBC, Puck, and Axios have also continued advertising on the platform, despite Musk's attacks on newsrooms."
Beyond disgraceful.
@tofugolem I remember school in the 90s teaching about the Nazis’ rise to power and understanding the importance of learning about it, so it could never happen again. But for years I didn’t get how it was possible to deceive an entire nation the way they did. How could people be so terrible? How could not enough recognize it and take action? How could so many believe propaganda?
Then the brexit vote happened here in the UK and Drumpf won the 2016 US election, and I understood.
On this date in 1962, before it became the corrupt entity that exists today, the SCOTUS ordered the University of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, a Black student. Meredith v Fair.
One wonders how they would decide the issue today. Our judicial system used to be the pride of the world. No longer.

Jesus Christ, America. What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
I've been on Mastodon for about a month and I think it's time that I properly introduce myself.
I love reading, drawing, and writing (working on stories and a book). I'd love to connect with a artists, authors, funny people, people who enjoy funny people...
I've also been working on a comic about squirrels and monkeys @mooshyandco.
I have 22 followers right now and that's awesome. You all are great! That said, I wonder if folks would be willing to boost this so I can meet more great people?
God politics is depressing.
The conservative party today adopted policies that say the gender-affirming care my child received as a minor, with my support and consent, should not have been available to them, and that they pose a threat to biological women in bathrooms.
It is stupid, false, hateful, dangerous nonsense, a form of constitutionally-protected hate speech, against my own child.
And what can I do about that? Nothing at all, except say loudly that they do not speak for me.
The GOP views following the law as a weakness and complying with court orders as optional. In a party that celebrates an indicted candidate for being indicted, getting called out for preventing Black voters from having legal districts is a badge of honor.

But we knew his Secret Service agents were in on it. Now CREW has proof. They should be kicked out, charged, lose their government pensions, and be jailed. #treason https://mpost.tribel.com/public/posts/bb5a5340-4206-11ee-8ab4-ad4f02107c46
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
