It was custom made for the alcove in between his study and bedroom, and reportedly he was able to raise the bed into the ceiling and leave the alcove as a passageway. tl;dr it was custom made for the space

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Sorry, folks, this year "no vote" is a vote for fascism, don't be that person, voting is a necessary if not entirely sufficient act

That was because of plague and starvation! Wait, not the defense of my home state that I was hoping for.

“He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. “He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.” It’s why our judicial appointments are for life.

On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

Absolutely. My parents practically worshipped him, made a point of teaching me about his disability. They had a good friend who was a Judge, said FDR made it possible for him to preside in a wheelchair. I haven’t read the Economist article referred to, though I’m a subscriber.

He concealed it, though not completely. But that’s beside the point. He was in a wheelchair and, despite the ableist framing of the Economist, he was the greatest U.S. president ever.

The press corps knew about it, and it doesn’t change the fact that FDR was a great president who used mobility aids, which the economist says is “no way to run a country.”

The Economist. Of all magazines. When Biden and team has literally shaped the best economic recovery during this Covid pandemic than every other country in the world? When stock market and NASDAQ higher than ever? They are that thirsty for making sure Trump's tax cuts don't expire in 2025?

Cognitive impairment and delusions of grandeur. 171 years old is too old. Time to drop out of the journalism game. The Gray Lady needs a graceful withdrawal from the spotlight. #journalism #media

Asked if the NYT had the capacity to cover another Jan 6 style event, one senior media official took a long pause and said “that would depend on a lot of things.” One European daily editor was more forthright and said simply “No.”

I figure if this guy, who wrote the exact same article FOR THE TIMES in 2018 is doing it over and over and again, their bench is more shallow than a wading pool.
