It doesn’t sound as if Trump is doing himself any favors at #nabj! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Wrongfully convicted people, now as innocent under the law as anyone else and ordered to be freed, are kept in prison in Missouri. Absolutely outrageous. “Tough on crime” is a cult. https://apnews.com/article/conviction-overturned-missouri-christopher-dunn-19a632c90b2e571f6a5e52ac9dba62d8 npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1cfg…6emp I shared this with my daughter, who is a tattoo artist. If an artist doesn’t know these symbols (and I’m sure there are others), they could unknowingly participate in spreading hateful messages. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1lgd…weyh It’s so strategic of them to imply that the only real value women have is in childbearing! That should really help them overcome their challenges with women voters. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub12hr…5vh7 Nope. Not fucked. Unfucked. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg The Democratic Party needs to unite behind Kamala Harris THIS AFTERNOON! None of this open convention nonsense. There’s barely any time left, and she has the least number of obstacles standing between her and the ballot and her and the war-chest. HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT!!! Everyone else can compete for Veep, if they like, or start plotting for 2028. #KamalaHarris #Biden npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg One infuriating aspect of this Democratic Party election drama is that if Trump wins, a huge number of people will keep saying for the rest of our shared time on this planet that everything would have been fine if only we had listened to them! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg If President Biden, his family, and his team were looking for an opportunity to exit, this could serve. But I don’t know that they are. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub16mj…alcf If they refuse to speak out, the media isn’t going to cover their quiet desperation. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg The conspiracy theorizing from my side of the aisle is disappointing and disturbing. The right has so normalized the conspiracization of all current events that it’s now in the air we breathe. I don’t know why it would be easier to believe that a bullet was allowed within an inch of Trump’s brain and two white men’s lives were sacrificed to give Trump a photo op he didn’t especially need—than to believe that the Secret Service screwed up. 1/2 npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Haven’t read “Hillbilly Elegy”? Good. Here are some better suggestions. #bookstodon https://bookriot.com/books-about-appalachia/ npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1gwd…3lhr I always send my young nibbling a real postcard when I go anywhere special. I want them to have that experience, too! But I also want it as a grown-up! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I asked a friends who were visiting France to send me a postcard, and they did! And it made me so happy, even though it took so long to arrive that I’ve already seen them since they came home and heard all their stories! https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/796/559/223/517/015/original/966d1abe196d10f1.jpeg npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I’m no lawyer, but surely Heritage employs lawyers who know perfectly well what they may and may not say to keep their 501c3 status? They’re a non-profit think tank. It’s their mission to produce policy papers. Do people “reporting” them to the IRS think that all nonprofits must be charities? Reminds me of the ridiculous things many of us tried in 2017 in the Mueller Silly Season. Pointless, performative protest by paperwork. The only thing that works is organizing, and it doesn’t always. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1teu…w5lp Louise Mensch! I forgotten all about her. And the darkest days after the 2016 election, I actually paid attention to what she said. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I am reminded that we never found out the motive of the murderer who massacred 58 people in Las Vegas in 2017. Six years afterward, there was a suggestion that he might have been angry at the casino, but they still don't know for sure and will never know. Only in fiction do murderers always have a clear idea of who they want dead and why. When I think about local murders, the "motive" is usually that someone was drunk, high, or psychotic, and angry at a friend or relative. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1q42…a4u7 He pronounces DEI with a hard R. We see him. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I hope the media will push really hard to get Republican lawmakers and TrumpWorld celebrities who have reveled in the idea and the reality of violence against their opponents to go on record denouncing violent rhetoric political now. Obviously, we know that right-wingers believe the law and the norms of civil society exist to bind their opponents, not themselves, but MAKE THEM OWN THAT ON TV, please! Or disavow it. Up to them. But get them on the record. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I was hosting a couple of close friends for dinner last night and was perhaps the slightest bit drunk when the shooting news broke. I said a few things I would not say sober or in different company. But people are sharing those kinds of thoughts hours later, presumably sober, on Taylor Swift’s Internet, in front of God and everyone! Like that TikTok kindergarten teacher says, “That’s an INSIDE thought, friend!” npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1krv…8tax Parts of Long Island remain extremely segregated and have long had an angry red streak and a b/Bunker mentality. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg If we’re lucky, we don’t become the old people whom nothing surprises because they’ve seen it all. Not feeling particularly lucky, though. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Sometimes I think we could make a better world together, and then I encounter people who spend extra money to make their cars louder. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Make him Secretary of State? npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1yme…r5de True. He still has his foreign-policy chops, though. I hope people pay as much attention to that as they do to his hesitant delivery and occasional flubs. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1483…lv2w Although 1. There are very likely false claims going viral about it because 2. They made it extremely long and boring, which they must have known would limit the number of people who would actually read it. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1h4m…jx8z A corned beef sandwich on rye. An unmated sock. A half-deflated kickball. My dead grandmother. A hairball some cat threw up. Last week’s recycling. Anything. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg (And I also agree with someone I heard say that, no matter what, we are voting for Kamala Harris, because there is a not-inconsiderable risk of someone Joe Biden’s age becoming unable to do the job at some point within the next four years.) npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1tq4…dklr I really hope most people have learned not to do this, but I see some of the discourse, and I am not confident. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Maybe the French polls were wrong, or maybe they were *completely accurate* and scared people who’d planned not to vote into getting out and voting against fascism. 1. No matter how sophisticated, polls can never fully predict who the actual voters will be on Election Day and what they will do. 2. Polling itself can change a race. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Those people are dull as dishwater, but they are clever, well-educated, strategic and patient. They are the ones to watch. 4/4 npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg They keep your attention away from the people who write 900-page policy documents about dismantling the regulatory state and rolling back the civil liberties built on the notion of an unwritten Constitutional right to privacy. They are the ones who will actually accomplish the horrors you’re reading about in the memes and snippets. Legally. Bloodlessly. Politely, even. 3/4 npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Thread: The reason everyone is posting memes and little summaries about #Project2025 instead of links to the plan itself is that the document is 900 pages long and written largely in High Policy Wonk. 1/4 npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1pwk…84lc We’ll be in the Gaeltacht, but zi doubt I’ll have the courage to try out my Irish on anyone. The people have suffered enough! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg But! It would inject HUGE energy into this awful election. So maybe Harris could make it happen. I don’t know! I’m bad at predicting the future. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Everyone is clear that if Biden withdraws, the candidate would almost certainly need to be Harris, right? And that she would be a Black woman running against Trump in a moment of fierce backlash against both feminism and anti-racism? And that all those men who voted for Trump because they absolutely COULD NOT vote for a woman to be Leader of the Free World would once again have the option to vote for their Big White Daddy instead? We’re clear? (No, I don’t like it any better than you do.) npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I am pleased that Gemini was unable to make sense of the (to me, entirely sensible) prompt I gave it. I like to check once in a while to make sure Team Human is still winning. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Maybe SCOTUS helped Biden’s campaign a bit today. Maybe Americans who thought maybe they’d sit this election out won’t want to see what Trump does with the promise of nearly unlimited impunity. #election2024 npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1z62…a8p7 I meant could they write a presidential powers law in such a way that it limits this very broad interpretation. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Being alive in 2024 sometimes feels like having front row seats to the End of the World As We Knew It. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1nl7…kqk6 Why not? He could try it! We know he can’t be criminally prosecuted for it. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg So, if Biden ordered Trump arrested and sent to Guantanamo in the name of national security, that would be an “official act” and Biden could not be prosecuted. Do I have that right, Chief Justice Roberts? npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg American news outlets label Europe‘a far right parties as just that, but rarely/never call the Republican Party, or even the extremely right-wing elements within it (i.e. “the Freedom Caucus”) “the far right.” They seem committed to perpetrating the fiction that we have two reasonable parties who differ on tax policy and political philosophy. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg A year ago, I might have laughed and said he’ll find out how wrong he is in court, but isn’t it just as likely now that the rest of us will find out in court that the #AI guys have spoken this new #copyright reality into existence with endless money and nonstop propaganda? https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/28/24188391/microsoft-ai-suleyman-social-contract-freeware npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Just set up a monthly donation to Joe Biden. I should have done it sooner. AS A RULE (not always), elections are won with ground game. Turn out more of your own likely voters in key areas than the other candidate, and you win. I can’t make #Biden ten years younger or a more fluent speaker, but I can help pay for canvassers, mailers, and ads. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1yd0…ejme I just flicked the radio on for a few seconds. Trump was talking about abortion taking place *after* birth. Snapped it right off. I don’t think we’re missing anything. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg It’s okay. I can hear the family yelling at the TV downstairs. Between that and Mastodon, I can get a sense of what’s happening. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Tried to watch. Made it through the first three minutes. Done. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1mdf…xh8c I learned from you the necessity of heeding its call. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I had one of those dreams last night with such clear instructions from the unconscious that they might as well have been typed in triplicate, signed, notarized, and sent by certified mail. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I love how many people took this as an invitation to give me cooking and/or life advice! Read the post. It was not a request for advice. Also, please see my profile. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1c9g…3xl0 Yes! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1clx…huun Cups are a measurement of volume. Grams are weight. I’d be fine with recipes using ounces instead of grams. My kitchen scale does both. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1a46…a6zk The first time I make something, I make it to the specs of the recipe (except garlic. It always needs more garlic!). After that, I customize. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Recipes should include weights in grams for fresh herbs. I don’t know what your 1/2 cup of torn basil leaves amounts to. Just tell me how much it weighs. #cooking npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1g0z…r7l8 Exactly! You can have a lovely family event at the end of pre-K without calling it a graduation! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Do they order new polyester caps and gowns for all the pre-k and kindergarten and 8th grade “graduations” that go straight into the landfill? Can’t the kids just dress up a little? Or wear the same color t-shirt? npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Protestants, Catholics, and Jews have somewhat different versions of the #TenCommandments. Louisiana has a lot of Catholics, but Protestants have objections to the Catholic version of the Bible. I’m going laugh my head off if the reason this ends up in court is because Protestants and Catholics can’t agree on which version of the Ten Commandments to hang on the classroom walls, where, of course, they don’t belong in the first place. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2005/03/05/jewish-catholic-protestant-commandments-differ/ npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg The administrators of the high school where I work assure me that we don’t need to spend much money on databases because everything’s free online now. From: @npub1lrv…tth9 https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/112646242249409878 npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg “Puce” sounds like it must be the worst color in the world, but it isn’t! Just purple with a little brown in it. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1038…w5ff I usually think of Kathy Hochul as a pretty reasonable person, and I’m so irritated to hear that she is supporting any version of this in New York. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg How is it not my First Amendment right to wear any kind of facial covering I want to? Are you going to tell me it’s legal for me to wear a niqab for religious expression, but not to have an N95 mask underneath it? Or instead of it? Or are they going to outlaw niqabs, as well? If someone is robbing a convenience store, their balaclava is not the problem. I don’t understand how any level of government can regulate any article of clothing I choose to wear for any reason. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I live in Mondaire Jones’ district. People who poured their hearts and souls into volunteering to get him elected don’t even want to make eye contact with him now. It’s not only Israel. It’s the way he’s talking about progressives. Progressives here (including me) had considered him a friend. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg If every time you are tempted to comment on right-wing “hypocrisy,” you make a quick substitution for “assertion of their absolute authority to dictate reality,” you’ll be less confused but much more worried. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg Creative person on the Internet: Try doing the [art/craft/cooking/whatever] thing THIS way! Random Commenter: DON’T YOU DARE TELL ME HOW TO DO THINGS! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! The human brain was not evolved enough for this technology. These brains needed to cook for another 15,000 years. Minimum. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg I am silently fact-checking all your memes. npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub1fcw…rqwn Thanks! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg @npub13r2…77qe Thanks! npub1nktm7rd4ysr08svfkzmh7l8d75qvayvwanjxsa0drr5npqp5zquskm9the Julie Goldberg #LawFedi, does the appellate court have to accept his appeal?

Now, I’m starting to lose the weight, but I don’t think I’m giving up on these loose, comfy clothes!
