1. I have seen exactly zero commentaries on how Thurgood Marshall might have hung onto the Court for 1.5 more years and spared us Clarence Thomas. (He outlived the 1993 inauguration.) Can't tell if this is just misogyny or also the absence of social media.

6. Among the things Democratic legislators (w or w/o Collins and Murkowski) can do this year: end the Hyde Amendment, authorize abortions via TRICARE, allow the Indian Health Service to provide abortions, allow Navy and Marines personnel leave for abortion care (Army, AF already do)

13. I don't want to live within the vision of liberty as imagined by the writers of the Constitution in 1789. The men who thought guns were freedom, women lesser, and Black people property shouldn't define our rights today.

17. USA gun laws are abnormal in the world. And today's #SCOTUS ruling moves us farther from wise policy. The countries in yellow all have gun laws akin to the law struck down in NY State.

23. The most coherent objection to the trial of Jeanine Áñez is that differences in the proper parliamentary procedure shouldn't become criminal cases. This is reasonable in general but not in the context of Bolivia's 2019 crisis. @CarwilBJ/1539251306891776001

25. Anthropology here: People largely believe that ancient peoples and contemporary hunter gatherers die/d their their 30s. A basic confusion of the average with the maximum. In fact there were more child burials but many grandparents and elders. @cshirky/1539009062054117376

28. Nineteen Juneteenths ago I wrote an angry, mournful poem about riots and the communication of rage. Some of it feels at a distance, but much of it feels—like the piece of it here—both ripped from today's headlines and badly in need of footnotes
