So SCOTUS has finally managed to cut the federal cord that united these States. Congratulations.

Considering what āOreoā means as a slur, I thought this was some anti-LatinX sick joke at first. Now Iām like, chocolate and cinnamon? Ok Iām down
Laurie Bowman (@lbowman.bsky.social) reply parent
Did they, though? Dream about that, I mean
Laurie Bowman (@lbowman.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, I say in my particular district, we shouldnāt even acknowledge the existence of SCOTUS or pay attention to any of their orders. But thatās only for my own particular geographical area, donāt you know
Laurie Bowman (@lbowman.bsky.social) reply parent
Whoa. This is even weirder than I thought, though I admit I just learned about this decision and havenāt read the opinion for myself yet

Right? What evidence is there of a ceasefire other than what his fat fingers have typed?
Laurie Bowman (@lbowman.bsky.social)
So what confirmation exists that there is a ceasefire, other than Trumpās own words? Because I donāt know about you, but the historic ratio of truth to bullshit is pretty low with this one.

I remember the Iran Hostage Crisis as marking the real beginning of my awareness of geopolitics (I was 9). So, yāknow, for me it kinda feels like coming home again, along with the dawning existential dread that has accompanied me ever since.
