  • It’s true that the supreme court often bows to Trump, but the DOJ has lost frequently this year in the lower courts. Even there, traditionally the DOJ wins nearly all their cases. However, Bondi’s DOJ has been so incompetent that they’ve lost a record number. So many, that DOJ attorneys are losing their deferential rapport with judges.

    It’s not perfect, and justice remains incomplete and slow, but the courts are jamming up the overreaches.

    One great source of information and hope is Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket series which frequently covers these topics.












  • One benefit of colocating the food bank with the grocery store is that shoppers could make direct contributions to the food bank. Instead of those questionable ‘donate $1 to such and such’ prompts at payment, one could purchase an extra can of food and discreetly drop it off after checkout. Seeing the beneficiaries in person is confidence the grocery store isn’t just making a money grab.

    Since most of us have to buy groceries, it would also provide shoppers a convenient opportunity to practice compassion. Sometimes a bad day can be turned around by doing something good.
