“The Supreme Court has long recognized that the contempt power is integral to the authority of the federal courts. Without the ability to enforce judicial orders, they are rendered mere advisory opinions which parties are free to disregard.” Erwin Chemerinsky

Visibility saves lives. This week is Lesbian Invisibility Week—a reminder that being seen, heard, and celebrated matters. To every lesbian who’s ever felt erased: we see you, we love you, and you matter. Always. #VisibilityMatters #LesbianInvisibilityWeek

Similar to Schrödinger’s cat in the box, until I open my phone in the morning, he is both alive and dead…

Every rebellion begins in the imperceptible moment that fear is broken, when the tormented and terrified person ceases to be afraid and is henceforth free.

Well that didn’t take long.

“The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.” American soldiers found time to bond and laugh in-between battles. It strengthened them. Turned them into the most fierce warriors in the world. We must also.

It’s not paranoia if they’re really watching you.

No feeling as calming as a kitten softly purring in your lap. Highly recommend 💞

This is average 💙 life in a 🛑 state, but if the elimination of Section 504 succeeds, it will reverberate through ALL 50 states.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

This is the point of confirming RFK Jr., right? Right-wingers wanted a new reality show, and they’re getting it: Survival of the Fittest. Buckle up, folks. If you have any health issues at all, you may as well get your affairs in order.

I call them the Buddies: Merlin and Diego. Rescued together as kittens, they still snuggle 🥰 sometimes in a cat bed, sometimes in a box

Another disappointing obituary day here in the US.

Great read to stoke the embers of hope still burning inside 🔥

Just a few months ago, Merlin 🐈‍⬛ was afraid, ran and hid from the big, gangly, over-excitable Duke 🦮. Now they snuggle with Mama, together💞 #catpics #dogpics
