In pursuit of justice; in search of good food; and hoping to be a good human. A lover, not a fighter. Deeds, not words. Opinions are my own.

The money they left in a bag on my doorstep was not a bribe, because if I hadn’t picked it up it would have been sitting un-picked up. #alitoethics

Bold words from a man who has done well more than his share to politicize the federal courts.

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

Pure politics. One system of Justice for Dems another for Republicans. FBI has had information about hunter & james biden potential criminal conduct for several years & no prosecution With trump it’s a different outcome

@CommonCause Karen did so much good for our democracy. Few can claim to have had as much impact. Her faith in democracy will live on in many of us.

NEW REPORT: Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar are spreading at an unprecedented rate, levying a devastating economic toll in cities and rural areas alike.

There’s a growing tide of local opposition. But we need federal action, too. 1/

@thermoware @USConst_Amend_I Expression — which a fart literally is — is protected under the first amendment. But not clear if there are precedents.

Remember when we were told they weren't opposing the teaching of Black history, just "CRT"? And how many dismissed those of us who said these laws were anti-history laws, and anti-Black? Perhaps one day folks will listen to those who know. https://t.co/LnBhTYcMsZ

[Yes for Safer Roads 🚗 @yesonfourma]

Reminder: Ensuring all drivers are tested, licensed, and insured is a *good thing* that makes our roads safer for everyone.

And that's exactly why law enforcement leaders from Lawrence to Northampton are coming together to pass and support #YESon4 🚗

NYT on Iran protests: “ outraging even some Iranians who had formerly supported the revolutionary government.” What is revolutionary about a government that has held power for 40+ years? Once a revolutionary ≠ always a revolutionary.

@roselonghurst Acknowledgement is the first step.

@kmtani I feel your frustration. The fields I’ve worked in have some bad actors with good reputations. I’ve seen some gratifying comeuppances. But as a great person said, “You may think you’re the only person who can see who he really is, but you’re not.”

There have been some articles in the media recently about the care workforce shortage. I know the word crisis is overused but I do believe this is a crisis -- it was before the pandemic and now its life & death for millions of our loved ones in need of assistance. THREAD
