Good morning! Today I woke up early + was motivated to get a good walk in before the heat ramped up. That seemed to annoy the local blue jays, who believe that they rule this land + I'm only here to feed them. The red-shouldered hawk who lives in our woods also decided to join in yelling at me. Or maybe it was yelling at the jays.

Little do they know that their efforts to discourage me has only strengthened my resolve to get out early tomorrow.

Wishing everyone a day of contentment.

Monday to Friday is that inconvenient, annoying break between Sunday and Saturday.

"Unhinged from judicial standards, the court now roves through the policy landscape, overturning decades of law and reordering Americans’ lives and institutions. It upends women’s health, revamps college admissions, snatches student aid from millions and redefines public accommodations (allowing egregious discrimination)."

~ Jennifer Rubin

In coming months, much progress we made with Decentralized Social Media (DSM) will be put on hold while millions still yearning for a new Twitter will flock to Meta's latest fail in-waiting. If they'd just read up on the fediverse, they'd realize we almost have a better Twitter, SO STOP THRASHING!

"In aggrandizing power, the court illegitimately dominates policymaking, undermining democracy to an extent we have not seen in nearly 100 years. …

One telltale sign that the justices have become partisan politicians: their refusal to adopt mandatory ethics rules, which destroys the essence of judicial impartiality that is the root of their legitimacy."

Trump, taking shots at Hillary Clinton in 2016, was predictive of himself in 2023. "We could very well have a sitting President under federal indictment."

Traitor Trump's words should be played over and over by the Biden re-election campaign.

Private college still commits to diversity

Because a few of us have been fighting for our future the USA now gets 42% of electricity from zero carbon resources

We are on course to about double that share by 2035! Biden's Inflation Reduction Act climate legislation is accelerating these existing market gains making even more of the power we use become zero-carbon electricity.

A 100% Zero CO2 grid is in sight if we keep up the fight and vote the GOP out of our government! https://cleantechnica.com/2023/07/01/inflation-reduction-act-already-lowering-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions/

When will the GOP start understanding that their gun obsession is hurting them by making people afraid to go to public places to shop, eat, or entertainment. They complain that malls are not full, yet don't seem to understand the safety of shopping online vs in public.

In crowded field, Republican primary candidates lean into voter fears https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/07/02/republican-presidential-candidates-campaign-fear-socialism/70351140007/ they throw those at the morons so fast, they forget yesterday’s ones. And their media is amplifying them as they get churned. #uspolitics

So many teachers have died from COVID. It's very sad and is something never talked about. I do miss teaching but can't return to it as schools aren't mitigated. It's very sad not to be able to teach anymore. There is a teacher shortage and so many I know have stopped teaching because of it. The government stopped publishing the figures for education staff deaths when it reached 540. I came across this article earlier https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/over-1-000-educators-died-from-covid-heres-the-story-of-one/2022/12

"There is no consistent logic or principle beyond ideologically driven power politics. The idea that those who founded the United States envisioned a super-body composed of unaccountable, all-powerful rulers clad in robes, free to reign entirely outside the structure of institutions that make up the political system, is preposterous."

At least the new Twitter rules will force some people to stop linking to it. Maybe even convince some of the folks we only see on the bird mirror sites to just come here.
