stormdogThe presidential immunity arguments at the US Supreme Court today:
The fact that the US SCotUS is even listening to this, and that some of the justices seem to think there's any shred of rationality to this at all, is literally enough to make my stomach hurt. The implications of the PotUS having blanket immunity from prosecution are unimaginable. Welcome back to a monarchy.

On the lighter topic of the last post, I remembered a group bike ride I went to in Chicago where many participants were riding topless. People of all genders put tape over their nipples to be in solidarity with people who aren't allowed to expose theirs. I thought it was really great to support equality in that way at the time! I didn't realize how personally that inequality would affect me.
I *really* miss group rides like that, though I wasn't in very many. World Naked Bike Ride was amazing, even though I left early the third year I went. I wish I still had the chance. This is part of why I dearly miss being in a big city.
