You do not need to be a lawyer to read this sentence: "No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."
(In FDR's words, the Constitution is a layman's document - it's not (just) for the lawyers!)
Welcome President Obama to BlueSky. Happy 15th birthday to the ACA aka "Obamacare." Intended to be a slur, just imagine if we called Social Security "FDR Security!" Obama got it done.
Musk retweeted a message that Hitler, Stalin and Mao did not kill millions, but their public sector employees did.
It was part of his massively paranoid attack on public employees.
But those employees he fired save lives. He, and his DOGE minions, will kill millions.

It was true in 1938, and it's true today. You don't get peace through appeasement. Should've held the line, Senator Schumer.
Mildred Ethel Holcomb Brennan 1891-1984. My great-grandmother, she owned and ran Nana's Tea Room in Girard, PA, and made all the desserts served there. A widow since 1936, she was the family matriarch and as a business owner, the family bread winner.
Thinking of Nana on Int'l Women's Day 2025!
Happy Presidents Day, featuring the presidents of my lifetime*

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history.
How fucking dare they

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.
Name and gender concealed. No need to hasten the seemingly inevitable.
The purge of talent continues in the federal government. I know personally the person who wrote this. They expect to lose their job too, as senior officials will be made to undergo some sort of loyalty test. My friend will fail. They will fail, even after a lifelong career of exemplary service.
Vic from 19 News met MDB and Deanna Bremer Fisher at Bialy’s today for an interview about the Active Transportation Plan. Watch WOIO to see the story.
I just watched Trudeau announce those tariffs on Canadian television in the last hour.
Which boils down to this: Trump's tariffs will hurt our state, hurt our exports, hurt our economy. Not to mention hurt our friendship with our closest neighbor. 2/2
Canada is Ohio's top trading partner. In 2023, Ohio exported $21.4B in goods to Canada, which was 38% of Ohio's total exports.
Trudeau's response to Trump's tariffs is a 25% tariff back on $155B on US goods, $30 In on Tuesday, and the rest 21 days after that -- that's going to hurt Ohio. 1/2
On his second day in office, Trump summarily fired every member of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee as part of dismembering the Department of Homeland Security.
Maybe it was just more convenient to blame DEI without any evidence.
True for Colombia, for Mexico, for Canada, for Denmark, for China, the list goes on and on.
CBS has not cut away. Rambling on and on.
Somebody needs to lean in and say, Mr. President, it is time for us to go.

Alright, Buffalo. With the Lions out, it is up to you alone to represent the Great Lakes in the Super Bowl. And to send the thieving magpie rat birds home. The Lord's work, indeed.

January 20, 1961. JFK stood outside and gave his inaugural address in 22 degree weather without an overcoat or hat on. But, JFK had vigor, not rigor.

Having shut down TikTok for a few hours and replaced it with pro-MAGA propaganda, TikTok is announces it is restoring service, including more pro-MAGA propaganda in the announcement
Sad obsequious bend-the-knee messaging from the Chinese-owned and Chinese-government-controlled social media company. Which I have enjoyed, yes. So giving our data to the Chinese is out of the question, as we give it to Elon and Zuck and GM and so on to make money off us and use against us.
Decades ago, Ayn Rand emerged to give pseudo-philosophical justification for being a selfish asshole. Today? Meet Curtis Yarvin.
Today President Biden affirmed that the Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. The ERA states:
“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex...”
I deleted both of my X accounts, and I am still on Meta. I don't think I will delete those quite yet, but as more people I know are deleting FB and Insta or just going dormant, the more I will be over here regardless.
