I am not going to be bamboozled by the "well-regulated militia" arguments. Modernity has made the 2nd Ammendment obsolete and dangerous for a long time. The framers of the Constitution thought I was an animal. I don't give a fuck about their original intentions.

This past week, over 100,000 people in the US were diagnosed with Covid-19, 1,300 died and thousands of the survivors are now at risk for Long Covid. Make sure you are up to date on your boosters and wear your fitted N95 mask in public indoor and crowded spaces. This isn't over! #BCAC #BlackHealth

A timely point:
More than anything else, the Constitution's framers were worried about POWER: who should have it; who shouldn't; where & how to channel it; restraining it; & using it for the common good.
Accountability--in the form of check & balances--was key.
W/o it, you have power run amok.

Rather than cut water allotments by as much as one quarter to states like CA, AZ and NV, the Biden administration might want to consider land restrictions to foreigners, like the ones to Saudi Arabia where they grow alfalfa to ship to feed overseas cows. https://www.tucsonsentinel...

Imagine what kind of person you must be to look at guns that can shoot 150+ bullets in a matter of minutes, and then look at two Black men who want to do something about that, and decide that the latter are what has to go.

I’m all for indictment, and recognize we’re going to suffer a non-stop, unavoidable tirade of crazy from the indicted one. But amid the noise & mania, let’s keep in mind we have democracy to save, rule of law to re-establish, and a climate crisis that requires collective focus and effort.
