True. Sadly we’ll never know. But we can’t help but wonder if any wrinkle in time past might have saved us from where we are now, especially from the prime effect of the presidential immunity ruling, Trump completely emboldened. IMO, the most dangerous result of the court-pack.

Great! We go from low-level processors incentivized to deny coverage making medical coverage decisions to easily manipulated AI programs? What could go wrong? Medicare for all!

Good post. Please stop dragging Merrick Garlan. I know he could have moved faster/stronger against Trump/MAGA. I cussed him often for that. But it would be just as easy, and maybe more to the pt., to blame Pres. Obama for not defying McConnell & giving MG a recess appt. to SCOTUS in 2016.
mjq (@chefmj237.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t know … considering his timidity as AG, what kind of SC justice might he have been? Doesn’t seem he would’ve been a leader. And 5-4 vs 6-3? Meh.

Loved the movie and Cusak but I swear I would be at least 2 years younger if I’d never had to pencil-rewind cassette tapes! And the accidental fold when you’d suddenly jump from side 1 to side two? Arrrrrgh! Days of fun and innocence, as it turns out. 😕

Susan Collins has been a female megaphone for Republican men her entire career. Her “con” was the clutching pearls. She’s always been a woman pushing down other women. She does what she is told to do by men in red hats. #Pinks #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory

On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews

I agree with you completely. However, lest we forget, the most highly-trained army in the world in the 18th century was defeated by a pretty rag tag group of patriots fighting for their land. We can do this again.

@milestaylor.bsky.social Just finishing reading Blowback since I was really struggling with how the hell we got here again. You were sadly prescient in your analysis of 1.0. I’ve recommended it to many friends. So important we hear all viewpoints, especially those from different backgrounds.

Once upon a time I was a salaried employee at a large company. The vast number of employees were unionized workers who fabricated, assembled and tested the company’s products. The salaried workforce benefited every day from rights fought for by the union labor force. I am proudly pro union.
