RFK Jr. would LOVE to test out his vaccine theories on Black children. He's already said Black children don't need vaccines as much as White children because Black children are just "stronger" than White children. Sen. Alsobrooks roasted his leathery behind for saying that, too:

Lords a-leaving: Britain is ejecting hereditary nobles from Parliament after 700 years Britain is ending the centuries-old tradition of hereditary aristocrats sitting in Parliament’s House of Lords.

Wow.
I’m remembering when reform of the House of Lords was first proposed in 1999 (!) and reading an opinion article in the @theguardian.com then that sounded like it was straight out of Tom Paine’s Common Sense.
Some hereditary peers were then allowed to remain.
Now they are all out..,

We’re not talking enough about how White Never Trumpers having failed to stop a Nazi takeover of the GOP are now trying to remake the Democratic Party into the Reagan Bush era GOP employing Progressives as useful idiots to wage war on the party’s base. Don’t worry you’ll catch on.

Today is Wednesday March 11, 2026. I have five meetings, one scheduled errand, and a lot of emails to send. Body battery is at 36 I think.

What I Learned in Selma: Keep Marching Last weekend, I had the honor of marking the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma at the Edmund Pettus bridge.

The everyday people who marched for civil rights and voting rights in Alabama in 1965 did so knowing that they would face violence, they would face torture, and that their government would not protect them. But they came anyway. open.substack.com/pub/jbpritzk...

Laszlo marching over to the band and very calmly but confidently demanding they play La Marseilles despite knowing it might get him killed has gotta be one of the best moments in cinema

Trump’s pardons have forgiven $1.5 BILLION in criminal debts. That’s money that was owed to victims and the government.

That number comes from the conservative Cato Institute, by the way.
