1. These threats remain insane and impeachable and we should resist normalizing them 2. How many bluffs will it take before Axios stops reporting them credulously?

The President of the United States is demented, perverted, incompetent, and a threat to democracy.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

The Texas Quote of the Day: "Armadillos inspire a degree of admiration. We Texans admire their tenacity, resourcefulness, peacefulness and humble origin. Armadillos epitomize the underdog that overcomes insurmountable obstacles." ---- Dr. Bill Klemm

The president of the United States is, mentally, eight years old.

You all have to watch this movie! I'd seen it as a kid and didn't really understand. It's pretty relevant today.

Easily, the most corrupt president in history:

The Brown v. Board ruling happened 72 years ago today. The reversal of the Supreme Court’s previous “separate but equal” decision highlights how it’s possible to overcome bad SCOTUS decisions. But it took years of activism from brave people to get there. Keep fighting.

Sometimes people in England sneering at Scots moaning about Westminster's failings and its contempt for Scotland simply don't understand where we're coming from.

Supreme Racism. A political cartoon by Bob Whitmore about the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Supreme Court.

About 16 years ago, a guy painted a big mural in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh. I watched his progress daily, on my walks with our beautiful dog, Connie. One day, my daughter said we should go over and have another look. She'd asked him to include our precious girl (who we still miss every day).

That was obvious from the beginning and, of course it will work. It is working now. They do whatever they want and nobody is stopping them.

It makes sense once you realize they‘re not even trying to govern successfully. They’re stealing as much as possible, and trying to destroy as much of our country as possible so we will be too crippled to go after them. It won’t work.

I am terribly saddened to hear the news that Scott Hastings has died. One of Scotland’s finest rugby players, Scott was an example to all of outstanding sportsmanship. I always felt such joy when I met him at Murrayfield. My deepest sympathy to his family. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Losing a primary or announcing retirement seems to provide a short-term dose of minimal courage for some congressional Republicans. I suppose that is the occasion where they finally feel able to tell the truth once in a while for a few months.

Wish I could find a mattress THIS comfortable.

Reform's Stephen Place shared an AI creep shots of what looks like teenage girls — will the party take action against this digital pervert?

Our senior dogs had a big beach day out. I promise this will make you smile from ear to ear ❤️

youtube.com/shorts/R2N3E... The Little Terns. How tiny. How loud. Their nest site was claimed by the sea. I'm glad they are still here. I have never seen them stood in numbers at the water's edge. Maybe shock? Maybe deciding what to do next. Hope they try to nest again.

The people who say, “Food is expensive, just garden” have perhaps not been to a garden store.

THE CHESS SET IS DONE! The stain didn't quite work as I anticipated on it black pieces, but it looks beautiful with the wax on top (and it covers a multitude of imperfections, which is handy). Genuinely surprised at myself for getting all that done.

LOCK HIM UP!!!! #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.
